An encore performance from U2 - in IMAX 3D - Now Showing on the World's Biggest Screen
Monday, September 14 by Julie Brown
U23D is back for an encore season on the World's Biggest Screen, for a limited season.
You can catch Bono and the band - eight storeys high, in IMAX 3D, amplified with 15,000 watts of digital surround sound - only at IMAX in Darling Harbour. It's a limited season, with sessions running in the evenings from Thursday - Sunday each week through until mid-October. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to experience what all the reviewers are citing as the landmark concert film that sets the benchmark for all others to come.
"It is simply the best filmic use yet of 3D. As reviewed on the large-format (IMAX) screen, this film is a trendsetter which will define and affect all future concert movies. 9/10." - Rob Lowing, Sydney Morning Herald.
"There have been a lot of great concert films, of the greatest bands, but it's astonishing to see something this big, this loud and this close. There's also the surpassing strangeness of being in a huge theatre full of people wearing silly glasses, watching Bono - a man who has made silly glasses his trademark - pontificating and prancing through 85 minutes of concert footage. If you love U2 - and millions do - the film will probably rock your world. ... The 3D effect adds a beautiful dimensionality to the field of faces. At one point, they all seem to start moving as a whole, rippling and flowing like an ocean. It's beautiful to watch so many people having so much fun, so connected. And most of them look to be under 30, which means they weren't born when this band first picked up their instruments in Dublin in 1976. You have to hand it to U2: they have rewritten the rock'n'roll handbook in a lot of ways - not just longevity, but musical relevance and an ability to appeal to new audiences." - Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald.
“Whether you’re a fan of the music or not, this is a pop cultural event that shouldn’t be missed. ... The incredible technology allows you on stage with U2, where you can feel not only the energy of the band, but also the passion of the crowd. ... This is terrific entertainment that gets you up close and personal with the biggest rock band in the world.” - Lisa Hensley, The Movie Show.
