    In many ways delivers an experience that's even better than the real thing. It brings U2's dazzling rock spectacle to the multiplex with VIP comforts, all-access viewpoints and telescopic close-ups.

    It's not for nothing that these guys are the world's finest live act.

    What it brings to the filming of a rock concert other than novelty remains to be seen.

    Stunning. My absolute favourite 3D experience. Was almost eerie how real it felt, I still get confused sometimes and think I have actually seen U2 live! Expand

    I've seen this 3 times; it's the only time I've ever gone to see a film more than once. Amazing experience, and simply perfect. It left me speechless. Expand

    What a wonderful way to experience the concert without having to deal with all the crowds (or ticket prices)! I was most pleased that there were few 3D gimics in the film - perhaps I've seen too many childrens 3D films where that's all they do. Expand

    If you like U2 (why?) then go see this movie. Everyone else.... U2 sucks and seeing them in 3d makes them suck even more. The popularity of this band is a prime example of how idiotic our world is. There are tons of bands better than U2 (Super Furry Animals) and it's a shame that this ultra crappy "rock" band has sooo many fans. I would hate to be in a room with nothing but U2 fans... I would have to kill myself. Expand
