Culled from packed concerts with adoring audiences in Buenos Aires and Mexico City during their Vertigo tour, this concert film from U2 is the first shot in digital 3D and high definition surround sound.
It won't be the last. So many cameras are used that you have to give up counting them.
If you like U2, the experience of Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington's unique film will be quite something.
Girls sit on their boyfriends' shoulders and wave their arms aloft throughout. It is almost as if you are there.
It might all be too much if, however, Bono's naïve though sincere messianic tropes irritate (the UN's human rights declaration is projected on the screens behind the band at one point) and you find the music less than original now that the Irish group has achieved the status of the world's most popular band.
This is rock that's just a bit too temperate to be properly radical and the show looks rehearsed to the minutest detail.
But there's no denying the baying crowd's singalong pleasure and the band's ability to seem as if the experience gives them a kick too.
U2 3D
Cert: U
