Review of Coldplay: Live 2012 (2012) by Josh K — 12 May 2014

One line summary: Find the 96 minute version if you can.

---------------.

This concert footage film was generally in support of the album Mylo Xyloto. Cuts from that album (Us Against the World, Paradise) plus some old favourites such as Clocks, Viva La Vida.

The footage was shot mainly from Stade de France and from Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. The visuals with the thousands of lit wrist bracelets were interesting.

There is a little commentary from Chris Martin in voiceover versus some poor footage of band members. Otherwise, there were no interviews or insights.

-----Scores-----.

Cinematography: 4/10 Meh. Disappointing. Looked like late eighties, early nineties.

Sound: 10/10 Quite good.

Acting: z/10 Not really applicable in documentary.

Screenplay: 5/10 Not interesting. It only had concatenated concert performance footage, which was not that good.
