One word text review from my sister of last night's U2 movie at Sphere: "Excellent".

One word text review from my sister of last night's U2 movie at Sphere: "Excellent".

That is great news. I have not seen too many reviews except for on the U2 social media threads.

I would love to hear a comparison from someone who watched the show only from GA.

A year ago tonight, a random tech bro didn't make it to opening night.

Some guys can't handle Vegas.

At the Sphere right now for the U2 film. Would’ve been nice to see them live last year, but just wasn’t feasible.

Still manages to have a giant lineup like the real thing, though!

Enjoy! I've heard the film is phenomenal.

This whole Sphere is so technologically out there that I half expect it to go bust sooner rather than later. I just had to see it for myself!

How is the immersion?

How is the immersion?

Great! It really felt like a concert despite being a film.

 

[dstalksalot]

I thought the first half was especially immersive.

Sadly, I was pulled out of the magic during a few master jump cuts during streets, but generally it did feel real.

Thought it sounded good to, but I did not see the live show to compare.

Caught the film last night. It was cool seeing the intro and all the visuals again There were points where you forget it's not a live show. I missed the Achtung B side songs though. They should have at least put Ultraviolet in. Audio was a good mix with the crowd but seemed a little low at times. It was interesting how much smaller the Sphere felt in the 200 level. I was on the floor and in the 100 section for the shows last Dec and Feb. Definitely worth it if you are in town.

It's spreading...

Might be a nutty question but since I sent a note to the team at the Sphere, I figured I'd come to the source and see if anyone else knows the following: Are they still stocking the "light crack" shirt and poster? I ask because I'm planning on making a trip next week to see the movie and, because I really wanted to get my hands on that shirt and that poster variant, and because I'm not a fan of the alternate versions (the Zoo Station ones), I just wanted to make sure they're still selling these before/after the movie. If anyone knows anything on this it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
