I will attempt a quick "review", and I use that term lightly, with a few brief thoughts... I mean other than "holy shit!" and "wow!" and "oh my GOD" that is...
Catherine Owens, you are the Eno/Lanois of U2 visually. You "get" them like no one else and as far as I'm concerned, no one belongs behind a camera crew at a U2 show other than you from now on. Paul McGuinness, get her an office at Principal. Buy her a plane. Set her up next door to the band in the south of France with a villa. Do what ever you have to do.
The people of Argentina, you are the stars of the show. Thank you for your enthusiasm. It's never been more clear how much the crowd has to do with a breakthrough U2 performance than in this movie. U2 fans around the world owe you a debt of gratitude for making this movie and this performance one of... no... THE best U2 live concert film of all time. That's right. I said it.
No one looks cooler 10 stories tall than Adam Clayton.
Bono's voice was as strong as I've ever heard it.
The audio mix constantly catches you by surprise and you'll hear things in the music that you've never heard before. And the 3D... it's such a cliche to say "you feel like you're there" but really, that's what the 3D brings to the show. So now we can all feel what it would be like to literally stand on stage with the band. Not to mention fly over them.
The opening sequence is a great tribute to us, the fans. No slow motion "band walking on stage" footage. For everyone who's ever gotten there early and made the mad dash to a great spot on the floor... you'll feel that rush all over again.
I don't want to spoil any shots for anyone but I will say Larry fans are in for a treat. Music gear nerds are in for a treat. And "The Fly" is like nothing you've ever seen before. Simply astonishing.
U2 3D is the definitive U2 live concert film. Period. They nailed it folks. It's done. This is it.

The wake up music? Uh...you mean Wake Up by Arcade Fire. I'm curious to know if it's in the film as well. After seeing 4 Vertigo shows, I got to experience the epic, transcendent and mind-blowing opening combination that was Wake Up----City of Blinding Lights. I'm not sure how it would feel like with Vertigo opening the show.

Axver said:
Well, it was used with Vertigo at all the European gigs and a handful in North America ...
BonoManiac said:No, I realize that. I was just wondering what the feeling was because after experiencing it 4 times, I have a hard time imagining a better opening sequence—although, I could be wrong.
