06/04/2022 It is a great film of all time See more 11/07/2015 This movie is incredibly. The best 3D I've ever seen. And U2 is also one of my favorite bands. See more 03/14/2013 I waited five years to see this film before it finally showed in a theatre near me, and I was not disappointed. U2 3D features the band as filmed in several shows throughout Central and South America on the last leg of the Vertigo tour. It is equal parts concert film and technical marvel, as it was (and still remains) one of the most complex films made at a live event, considering the type and number of cameras used. (It is telling that U2 has not allowed this to be released on home video yet because the technology has not caught up to the quality they want it to be seen in even five years later.) Of course, the star is not the tech; it's the four members of U2 and their music, both of look incredible in 3D. There were not many moments that the 3D really popped, as it was often used for texture or layering, particularly in filming the crowd, but the times in which Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry played to the camera were striking and memorable. The music itself is, well, incredible, and I really appreciated seeing a number of songs performed as they were throughout the Vertigo tour, including the entire "Coexist" routine and "Sunday Bloody Sunday". "The Fly" was particularly memorable, as was "Where the Streets Have No Name", and the version of "Yahweh" that plays over the closing credits is perhaps my favourite version of that song. I wish that, at the least, that the band would release the soundtrack for this film, even if they hang on to the film itself for the foreseeable future. My only criticism is that the film is too short at only fourteen songs and just under an hour and a half, as I would have loved to see "City of Blinding Lights" or one of the songs from "Boy" that they revived for the tour. U2 3D is a fantastic picture of a moment not only in the history of one of the biggest bands of the world, but also of how music and film are evolving in the 21st century. I can't wait to see it again...someday. See more 02/02/2013 This is absolutely amazing film. Gotta SEE in IMAX! Fantastic! See more 12/31/2012 Simply stunning and gets full marks as a cinematic experience. Haven't seen anything in 3D for many years so I was a bit "ho-hum" going in. U2 3D was jaw dropping with amazing visuals with truly unbelievable sound. It really makes you feel like you're there. Seeing it at Imax (Melbourne) just added to the overall experience for me. A must see! See more 12/16/2012 Simply phenomenal!!! It's like you're actually at one of their concerts. Highly recommended...even if you're not that big of a U2 fan. See more Read all reviews
