Just back from seeing it in NON IMAX cinima in Barcelona, YES its a WOW factor type movie. ok so we U2 fans would have liked to have seen some of the other lesser known songs, but still what an amazing film. It looks real, very real. And the sound is blinding as well. Bono was really on form vocally as well i thought.
I would see it again. High point has to be the fly though, damn thats the real Zoo TV for sure..
Peace to all U2 fans around the world..

I heard a lot about U23D and I as a really big U2 fan I really want to watch it. Any idea about when it comes to India?

typo correction - incredible.

I saw this last night at IMAX in Austin, TX - and I’m still giddy from the experience. WOW. Blows away every concert experience I’ve ever had. All the images were crystal clear, right in your lap, and Bono’s eye contact, seemingly only w/ me, was breathtaking. I think I even shed a tear during an extrememly powerful rendition of “One Love.” Even if you’re not a U2 fan, I highly recommend this experience - increbile.

Saw this film last night in the Rave, (I posted two days ago if anyone gives a shpit.) This is a great concert film. Great setlist, the images of the crowd were breathtaking, and of course Bono. Wow!!!! I had a 3D dork moment during one point when Bono reaches out to the camera, I thought he had his hand stretched to me and after looking around, (to make sure no one saw me) I reached out to high five him. Yeah I know, I’m an idiot. Great concert film.

WE LOVE U2!
ARGENTINA LOVE U2!
BUENOS AIRES LOVE U2!
THANKS BONO,LARRY,THE EGDE AND ADAM.
EVERYBODY LOVE U2!
THANKS FOR THE MOVIE.
WE LOVE U2,AGAIN!
YEAH,MAKE SOME NOICE!!!!!!!!!!

I posted yesterday in hope of someone else giving me an update to see if it may have been the faulty projection at the theatre I was at. I went to the REAL D web site and the theatre I went to yesterday is not listed as being certified to show the movie. Tonight is the last night and I can go to another theatre on the list.

What I would like to know is if anyone else had a difficult time watching this, and if the video is clear on the whole screen, or did they experience fuzziness and over the top greens…The experience I had and the others that I spoke to in this theatre was painful. Can someone that saw it this weekend remark on the quality?

Thanks

Thanks

I just finished seeing this in Florida at Cinema World… I dont know, but maybe it was the theatre, but the 3-d was more green , audience faces could not be distinguished, and it was quite difficult to watch. I love the band and the music were great. Do you think it was the theatre? I will gladly go to another if the experience is better there…Has anyone else had this same issue?

I saw this movie on the Jersey shore last night. 3D has come a long way. An awesome movie with an awesome message.

Just to let Guru know they are showing it in Wichita Kansas at the Warren Theaters.

Even though it’s shot in ridiculously, obscenely stark 3D, you don’t have to open your eyes to enjoy this show. It merely completes the experience. Seriously, did anyone not get goosebumps during Vertigo OOOOOOH ooh ooh ooh ooh?!?!?!

Am seeing this movie tomorrow at Rave in Columbus. Cannot wait!!!!! I love U2, am looking forward to next year when they tour. But for now, this will do.

what?? are you sure?? there won´t be a DVD.. Matt, is that your guess or is official?? from where did you took that info..
I could be really disappointed..

Greetings to all U2 fans frm the Philippines! I am one of the many U2 fans eagerly waiting for their U23D Manila playdate. I have to travel 3hrs to watch since we don’t have an Imax theater here in my hometwon, but i don’t mind since it’s a chance to see my friends too who’re also U2 fans. It feels gr8 to have a band that’s been around when i was young (I started on the JOshua Tree) is still very much HOT!! Long live U2!! Godbless!

I hate to tell you all, but there isn’t gonna be a DVD release because there is no 3d technology for home reproduction. A standard TV can’t project these images because they require polarization to be seen like they are in the theatre. Unless you want to watch it with red and blue “3d” which is garbage quality.

haha i do not like U2 but i like the used!!

I watched U2 3D twice already
and it is truly AMAZING.

-U2 IS GREAT!
Iam MERCEDES from BUENOS AIRES,ARGENTINA.I was in the two concerts.Every body love BONO,THE EDGE,ADAM and LARRY.The music and the people was amazin that night.
We hope see the movie now!!!!!!!
Put yours hands up!!!!!!!
BEATIFULL NIGHT.
THANKS U2 to choice BUENOS AIRES.
VISIT BUENOS AIRES.
LATIN AMERICA.

Im from Buenos Aires, and I was on that concert in March 2006. All bands like playing here in Argentina for the people who is one of the best hot audience in the world…ask the Rolling Stones how we are in Buenos Aires. it’s a great honour that U2 had chosen Buenos Aires for their first 3D movie

Hey Guru - keep checking U23D’s website for theater locations. A week ago, the closest theater to Atlanta listed was in Tennesee. Now they’re listing a BUNCH more theaters, and I get the sense they might keep adding more. I know there are Real D theaters here in the Atlanta area that aren’t on the list yet, though Real D’s site says they’ll be showing U23D in their theaters. So we shall see! I’m looking forward to finally seeing it!

In the meantime, if you dig seeing cool bands in 3D, one of our local Atlanta bands just did a music video in 3D and it rocks! I got to check it out here locally, but they’ve got it online for download and will even send you the glasses you need to view it! http://www.goldentheband.com/3 d/

Saw it at the press screening in DC. Pretty good. Kind of boring though.

I think that Jay-Z was mentioned in the article becouse the “journalists were shooed out of their seats” where from Rolling Stone or friends of them.

Anyway i live in Uruguay so i dont have any IMAX near, so i will have to wait to the next U2 concert in Argentina.

Miami I agree, “City Of Blinding Lights” will be missed!!

Not to mention “Mysterious Ways”!

Considering there doesn’t seem to be a Kansas City showing and not one theater withing 200 miles of my home, I guess I will have to hope they release a DVD of this quickly.

I don’t get it. KC has the digital technology in three different theaters. Why is it not being released here?

The only song missing:

CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS

That opening riff and the visual displays are one in a million and and a constant throughout the Vertigo Tour.

Looking forward to jump up and down in the local IMAX theater.

obviously Argentina is one of the hottests crowds in the world!!
some bands seems to discovered it..i can´t wait to see Bono and the band doing this gig..

Jay. Z didnt like seeing people that can acually play there instruments since no rAPERS ARE MUSICIANS IT MAKES THEM SCRATCH THERE HEAD WHEN THEY SEE ONE.

Jay-Z took his ATTORNEY to the cinema? What, got no friends?

JAYZ BLOWS ANYWAY
I GUESS HE LEFT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO GRAPE SODA

“I find it neccessary to correct your sloopy and inaccurate staements.”

Hang On Sloopy, Sloopy Hang On
Hang On Sloopy, Sloopy Hang On

. . . and Mr. Guido, your client is one ugly motherfucker!!!

As Jay Z’s attorney, I was with him at this screening as one of his “posse” of 4,which also included his manager.One of the producers invited us just before the screening and was told that, due to another appoitment, Jay could only stay for a song or two. He stayed for quite a few songs more than “one or two” and said , as he was leaving, “This is incredible”. As Jay is a good friend of Bono, and a fan of U2, I find it neccessary to correct your sloopy and inaccurate staements. So that the record is clear, contrary to your headline,and your ill informed comments, I can assure you that Jay was extemely impressed - with Catherine Owens’ direction, with the amazing technology and, as always, with the band’s continued cutting edge approach to giving their fans new and exciting ways to interact with them. Excellent journalistic work Andy.

U2 3D is another opportunity for their fans to see the greatest band in the world.
Thank you Larry, Bono, Edge & Adam for all that you do and the enjoyment that you provide.

Zoo Station was probably cut because there’s a shoutout from Bono to Edge’s kids, one of whom was sick. The tour was suspended right after that.

Why couldn’t they have left the more rare tracks in the film? Do we need yet another concert of U2’s greatest hits….I hate stuff like that….I guess they will rip us all off for the DVD “directors cut” version complete with Bono style fly 3D glasses

I can’t wait for this movie - saw 5 shows on the Vertigo tour…if anyone has US dates for when/where it will actually be shown for the commoners, I’d like to know!

Jay Z left because he couldn’t top anything he has or will do in the future next to a group that has been together for what now….close to 30 years. U2 lives on!

Am not intrested in anything jay whats his name!But its great to get some news on U2,them guys rock!

why even put anything about Jay Z in this article? who cares what he thinks of this movie. i’m sure most U2 fans would walk out on a jay z movie.

looking forward to checking it out..hopefully they didnt cut out too many new songs in place of the old classaics we heard 10,000 times like Bullet, Pride, ect, ect.

Jay-Z should finance a 3D concert movie of his boo, Beyonce. Can you imagine her bootyliciousness in 3D on an IMAX. It’s like whoa.

Zoo Station and Until The End of The World were the stand out performances of the Vertigo tour.

wasn’t the performance of Love is blindness only half complete…

no guitar solo or something from Edge. I’d guess that’s why they cut it out…

If anyone’s seen Love is Blindness from the ZooTV in Sydney DVD, you know how amazing it sounds live.

WTF? - you’re crazy.

There are two songs I would love to hear U2 perform live, “Love is Blindness” and “Acrobat”. Quite possibly the most stirring album-closing track sequence of all time. They would make for an outstanding 1-2 punch in a live setting.

Jay-Z couldn’t handle the awesomeness.

Who wants to hear “Love is Blindness” live? There’s a fine line between diehard U2 fan and pretentious snob. It’s a fantastic song, but not one I’d pay to see live. There’s a reason it’s been so long since they’ve performed it.

Im from Argentina, I went to that show on 2nd march and it was amazing!!!
one of my best nights ever, I will never forget!
I wanna see the movie…
gracias u2 por esa espectacular noche.

This movie is going to rock - seriously. For more details on all things 3D including u23D - check out my blog: marketsaw
