I will say this: Upon listening to the song over the past few weeks I had bigger, more imagiative visuals than this video. It was boring and, not suprisingly, unimpressive. The song itself has some of the most vivid, mystical rock lyrics of anything they've done in the past few years, but the video looked like a half-hearted effort, and therefore diminished the song's quality.
Like I said, I wasn't surprised. U2 can translate well to the performance video, but only when it's spliced with a story. Their best videos have been a mixture of the two, and this video is yet another bland affair. Too bad. I hope other people like it, but I'm indifferent.
