The newest concert film "U2 3D" by the superstar Irish rock band is an incredible experience.
Shot in state-of-the-art 3D with multiple cameras during the band's 2006 South American tour, it looks like nothing else you've ever seen, though you'll have to take my word for it. Since it was filmed in 3d, we can only show you scenes from the movie in 2D -- check them out here.
Comprised of 14 U2 hits, including "Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” “With or Without You" and "Vertigo,” and none of the usual extraneous interviews or onstage babble you find in concert films, (like the band's 1988 release "Rattle & Hum"), "U2 3D" is the most exhilarating concert I’ve never attended. The depth and clarity of the picture is amazing. I felt as if I was on stage alongside Bono. The set list is superb, crossing smoothly between old and new, high energy and more thoughtful songs.
"U2 3D" opened January 23 In limited release nationwide on IMAX & DLP theaters and well worth seeking out.
