The larger-than-life rock band is given perhaps the only treatment that can properly capture its outsized popularity with a 3D concert film extravaganza. Produced by the 3D masters at 3ality Digital Entertainment, the film comprises footage from seven different South American concerts during the group's 2007 Vertigo Tour. A massive undertaking, the project called for nine different cameras, making it the first-ever 3-D multi-camera live shoot. Directors Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington had previously worked with the band--Owens as the designer of screen visuals for their tours, and Pellington as the director for the "One" video--and they may have succeeded in doing what few concert films can, by truly capturing the ecstatic joy of a massive rock show. While still offering plenty of footage of the rapturous crowd, the film puts you exactly where you want to be at a concert: as close as possible to the performers. You get so close, in fact, that the first time the camera swoops in on Bono, it creates a strange sense of, well, vertigo, to have the mega-star's nose nearly grazing your own. The cameras draw in close enough to show beads of sweat flying from The Edge, and even reveal the middle-aged paunch Bono has hidden inside his motorcycle jacket. The sound quality is impeccable, and the moment it kicks into the drumbeat for "Bloody Sunday," it is nearly impossible to keep at least one body part from involuntarily bouncing in time. For U2 fans, the film can only be exhilarating, though it may hold less sway for those who don't own the band's complete, decades-spanning catalog.
U2 3D Reviews: 4 stars out of 5 -- "[With] an astonishing depth of field capturing the electrifying hugeness of the U2 stadium gig, and the intimacy Bono finds with his gaga audience."-- Ian Nathan, Empire "[O]ne can veritably feel the theatre pulsating with the enthusiasm of the crowd of 80,000."-- Annlee Ellingson, Box Office "U2 3D has been painstakingly hewn from 100 hours of footage....[A] beautifully filmed piece..."-- Sight and Sound Critic, Sight and Sound 4 stars out of 5 -- "[With] the crisp digital 3D lending an extra layer of drama to their bombastic stadium rock....[With] stunning performances..."-- Neil Smith, Total Film "[N]ot merely a technical landmark -- shot entirely in digital 3D -- but also an aesthetic one, in that it's the first Imax movie that deserves to be called a work of art."-- Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times 4 stars out of 4 -- "It brings U2's dazzling rock spectacle to the multiplex with VIP comforts, all-access viewpoints and telescopic close-ups."-- USA Today Critic, USA Today "85 beautifully paced minutes of crystal clear, artfully lit shots of Bono and his mates doing their inspirational thing for an arena crowd whose joy surges forth like a tiger in an Imax nature presentation..."-- Los Angeles Times Critic, Los Angeles Times

U2 3D Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  U2 is brilliant and this film takes you there!
I'm a die hard U2 fan, so I love pretty well everything they do, but they exceeded all expectations with this film. Their concert was socially conscious, timely, and the theatre was either singing or moving their feet to the beat. This is better than a concert in some ways, because of the angles and the intimacy with the stage as well as the crowd. First rate!!!

U2 3D review
A low-budget labor of love for documentary filmmakers Carole and Richard Rifkind, THE VENETIAN DILEMMA takes a look at the ancient city of Venice, Italy. The most commonly known fact about Venice is that it is slowly being engulfed by the waterways that make the city such a spectacular sight to behold. In their film, the Rifkind's identify a threat to the city that is lesser known, but equal in magnitude to the terrible natural disaster that threatens to completely erode the streets ...

U2 3D movie DVD
In the tradition of Hollywood directors taking on the task of documenting rock & roll events--like Martin Scorsese with THE LAST WALTZ or Jonathan Demme with STOP MAKING SENSE--Hal Ashby's LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER is a record of the Rolling Stones' 1981 U.S. tour. Although it was filmed at just three stops, all large outdoor venues, it beautifully captures the spirit of the shows and the hard work that goes into staging a Stones concert. The Stones themselves don't break new ground ...

Most romantic couples--onscreen or otherwise--would kill for the type of chemistry that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler share in the gyno-centric comedy BABY MAMA, even though the women are only playing friends. Fey stars as Kate, a 37-year-old vice president at an organic foods company whose womb starts a-kickin' every time she sees a baby. Though her career has kept her from marriage and children, she has decided that it's time for her to get pregnant. But multiple tries with in vitro fertilization leave her disappointed, and Kate turns to a surrogate mother. Enter Angie (Poehler), a high-school dropout desperate for the large check that comes with carrying someone's child. Though she agrees to be Kate's surrogate, it's clear that ...

MOULIN ROUGE's Baz Luhrman and Nicole Kidman reteam for this epic that pays homage to their homeland. In AUSTRALIA, Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman) is a prim and proper Englishwoman who journeys to Australia in the years before World War II reached the country's shores. She is determined to have her estranged husband sell his cattle ranch to a monopoly-craving businessman named King Carney (Bryan Brown), but when she arrives, Lord Ashley is dead, and her plan to sell the ranch changes when she sees an employee named Fletcher (David Wenham) cheating her husband's business and mistreating a young boy named Nullah (Brandon Walters) because he is of mixed race. Urged on by both pride and a sense of justice, Lady Ashley wants to drive her herd of cattle to Darwin so she can sell them to the troops, but she'll require the help of an independent cowboy (fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman) to get them there.
AUSTRALIA changes genres almost as much as Kidman's character changes from fantastic costume to fantastic costume (courtesy of Luhrman's wife and ...

U2 3D movie DVD
For DRONA, director Goldie Behl infuses a story based loosely on Indian mythology with a look and feel that is part pop art, part comic book, and part video game. Aditya (Abhishek Bachchan) has been raised by a stepmother who treats him like a servant. Although portents begin appearing to him in childhood in the form of electric-blue rose petals, Aditya does not know that he is actually Drona, the hereditary protector of the universe from the ...
