Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)

The music recording business may be in the toilet, but the concert business has never been better.

eFilmCritic.com (Brian Orndorf)

While the subject of countless concert videos and films over their 30-year history, U2â��s most iconic performances can be boiled down to three endeavors. 1983â��s â��Under a Blood Red Skyâ�� showcased U2â��s hunger, their youthful idealism, and a raw sou ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Brian Orndorf)

Beliefnet (Nell Minow)

"U2 in 3D" doesn't just give you the feeling of being at a rock concert. It gives you the feeling of being a rock star. Super-big, super-close, super-clear, and super-charged, it broke the record for the most 3-D cameras used for a single movie and ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Beliefnet (Nell Minow)

Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)

Film Journal International (Doris Toumarkine)

There are no swords, spears or monster appendages coming at us in this first live-action 3D digital productionâ��just an occasional microphone, mic stand or outstretched guitar arm to tease. As befits its world-renowned group, U2 3D, with jaw-dropping ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Film Journal International (Doris Toumarkine)

Variety (Justin Chang)

Breathtaking when performance, technology and cinematography click at the same moment, "U2 3D" is a concert film that should draw well from the band's fan base and tech fanatics. It has its overwhelming moments, especially in the early going, as the ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Variety (Justin Chang)

Contra Costa Times (Jim Harrington)

Like it's done so many times before, U2 has upped the ante in terms of the concert experience -- this time on the big screen. ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Contra Costa Times (Jim Harrington)

UGO (Jurgen Fauth)

When it comes to goofy two-colored glasses, IMAX is the new drive-in. After years of being relegated to the ViewMaster, the 50s fad is back. The preferred venue for the all-new batch of 3-D ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at UGO (Jurgen Fauth)

EmanuelLevy.com

Taking the concert film format to an extreme, "U2 3D" establishes a visceral, occasionally surreal bond unprecedented in movie. Directors Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington's docu, which premiered in the 2007 Cannes Film Fest (out of competition), is an ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at EmanuelLevy.com

Seattle Times (Ted Fry)

A remarkable experience in the latest 3D technology that captures the excitement of the band U2 in scales that are at once huge and intimate. It's an incredible performance captured in a medium that ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Seattle Times (Ted Fry)

Cinematical (Christopher Campbell)

When The Jazz Singer arrived in theaters in 1927, it was far from perfect. In fact, despite heralding the arrival of sound pictures, its audio was quite poor in quality, and it would take many years before the sound in sound films would be accepted as ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at Cinematical (Christopher Campbell)

The transparent state-of-the-art 3-D look of a colorful U2 concert at a coliseum in Buenos Aries, Argentina is extraordinary, and easily makes up for the bandâ��s ...read the complete U2 3D movie review at ColeSmithey.com (Cole Smithey)

Detroit News (Adam Graham)

Rarely in the history of film has a title been as straightforward or succinct as "U2 3D." Everything you need to know about it is right there in those four characters -- short, simple and sweet.
