Critic Reviews

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    Bono should refrain from ramming his preachy political meanderings down our throats and let the music do the talking. Even if some of that music becomes a little stultifying.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    The 3-D visuals envelop you, majestically, and that effect fuses with the band's surround-sound rapture to create a full-scale sensory high. U2 3D makes you feel stoned on movies.

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    The 3-D element is unobtrusively handled, except when it perfectly re-creates the woman who's always perched on her boyfriend's shoulders in front of you at a concert...

  • Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

    The concert itself is spectacularly produced, with Jumbotrons providing backdrop and long, curving runways that allow Bono and other band members to move far out into the crowd.

  • Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle

    Having these enormous, almost disembodied figures endlessly cascading through space is more distracting than illuminating.

    I do believe this is actually the closest I have ever gotten to having a religious experience. Ever. Never mind the 3D aspect, the amazing shots that these cameras captured were unique for absolutely any concert footage I have ever seen. Amazing. Amazing! I want this on DVD so… More

    As has recently been proved by both the success of Coraline and the relative failure of The Jonas Brothers Concert Experience, 3D usually works best when confined to animation rather than to live performances. Thus U2-3D cannot be seen as a remarkable film. Not only it is largely… More

    Magical.

  • Jon L


    Great as always for a concert. U2 is constantly reinventing themselves while keeping the same great music and message they have had from the very beginning. Also, the 3D effects were extremely well done. I hope we will see a lot more of this in the film industry.
