U2 3D

Biased as I love U2, this film is truly phenomenal, presenting the boys both visually and sonically at their best. LiKED: all of it: the music, watching 4 men passionately playing their instruments, the energy, the audience, the subtle 3D effects. DiSLiKED: the length, missed some personal favourite songs.

Owen and Pellington create live-motion collages, emphasizing constant, overlapping, evanescent dissolves. Space becomes a character as much as that bellowing bantam humanitarian.

"Anyone who owns Rattle and Hum knows that U2 is a great live act, but what's the point of U2 3D beyond simulating a front-row view of one of their concerts?" - Ed Gonzalez

Loved the effects even though im not a U2 fan!! not at alL!! the coolest was when the guitarist threw a pick into the crowd and you could see it coming towards you!! and almost catch it;)

A fun show, and a must-see for fans who've yet to catch the band live. The Edge really proved to be the star of the show to me -- a rock solid base for Bono to bounce off of, the guy is nothing if not dependable. The 3D effects literally add another dimension to the viewing experience, and aren't just used as a gimmick like in "Journey/Earth". The playlist is pretty good too, though a few favourites are missing. A fun concert film occasionally bogged down by too much politics.

About what you'd expect from a U2 concert shot in IMAX 3D: thirteen hit singles; pop über-competence; vaguely humanitarian, vaguely profound, often Abrahamic Bono-isms; fun camera angles and close-ups impossible if you were really there; and very large crowds.

made me a believer!

Admittedly, I'm a huge U2 fan. I've seen many 3D movies and this one blows the doors off anything I have ever seen. I assume it's because they shot it for IMAX, but even on the regular screen everything was incredibly crisp. I've seen U2 three times, and for someone who has never been, this would be a good place to see what you've been missing.

Haven't seen this but die, Criticker, for recommending me this film.

I love U2, and seeing this is almost as good as being at the concert. I didn't realize before how much Bono and the Edge need each other. The Edge is the sturdy and dependable ying to Bono's eccentric and foolish yang.
