The 2009 documentary Michael Jackson’s This Is It was directed by Kenny Ortega and follows Michael’s rehearsals and preparation for his concert series of the same name scheduled to start on July 13, 2009, but canceled due to his death eighteen days prior on June 25.
When the film was released, fans around the world waited in line for days for tickets, and Michael Jackson’s This Is It became the highest worldwide grossing documentary/concert film of all time. Reviewers were emotional in their praise: “The art,” said Richard Corliss in Time Magazine, “is in what we’re privileged to watch: a perfectionist who quietly pushes himself to prove he’s still got it;” Peter Travers at Rolling Stone wrote, “unmissable”, a “transcendent tribute”; and Slate said, “Jackson’s body moves with such otherworldly grace it’s as if he’s never not dancing…. it’s heart stopping to see it again for the last time.”
The box set was created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release of the film, and is truly a quality detailed and elaborate package, befitting the King of Pop.
