It rolls in waves over the sedentary crowd until there's not a single soul left who's not keeping the beat.

Startlingly, this is not the trite beer commercial one might expect.

Less about music than about the possibilities of the IMAX system itself.

All we get is mild platitudes before the shows, and one-song sets.

Never gets near the soul of today's pop music.

Exciting and well-shot.

It all seems an advertisement -- ostensibly for a retrograde vision of the R.O.C.K.

More impressive than the sight of these acts on an eight-story screen is the excellent six-channel IMAX sound system.

Philadelphia Inquirer Tom Moon
Looks as if was cobbled together from stuff hanging around the cutting room at MTV.

Variety Robert Koehler
Will greatly peeve many hardcore fans.

Andy N. gave it a7:
I thought the Sheryl Crow section was awesome. The sound was great. I had a problem with the fact that most of the so called "concert" footage was obviously a small soundstage set up by the production so the artists could do one song for there film. It felt kind of fake. The music was great but the set up was sad.

Chris P. gave it a 10:
I work as an Imax host in Sudbury, Ontario and I can't stop loving it. It is an amazing, in your face backstage look on these 15 artists lives. You walk out of the theatre and you feel like you've just met them! It's awesome!
