Review of U2 3D (2008) by Hugo S — 09 May 2008
U2 3D (2008).
Directed by Mark Pellington & Catherine OwensIt took seven shows to have all the stock material necessary to bring this amazing concert to the movie theatre in 3D. This was shot in Argentina while the band U2 were on their Vertigo tour. For the film, mostly hits were kept, but also the essence of that very tour, which is ultimately extremely political.Im not the biggest U2 fan, but I do own a couple of their albums and I have to say I had shivers watching this 3D rendition of their concert. There are many impressives shots and many memorable moments. Bono is a real stage freak, he is a real entertainer, but his pals arent hidden in his shadow. They prove to be great musicians with the precision of a surgeon. Its more than just about the feeling, they got the musical maths in them and that makes the entire thing even more impessive.What is fun, is being able to enjoy the show with the best sound quality possible but also sit back and relax in those comfortable leather seats they have at the IMAX theatre, plus I had the chance to see it on the biggest screen in Canada. The only drawback, you cant stand up and jump or scream just like the rest of the live audience. Definately a unique experience.
