Short Review of U2 3D, the movie experience

I saw U2 3D in the IMAX in Harrisburg on Saturday with my husband. I thought it might be like watching a documentary complete with a narrator and behind the scenes footage, but was happily surprised it was really like being at a real concert with value added features of up-close views and flying graphics-- and no ringing in your ears for days afterwards. They played about 20 songs and if you enjoy rock and roll with driving guitar riffs, a good drum core to it, and firm backbone bass with a haunting tenor lead vocal you'll like it. This music uncharacteristically isn't about the typic sex, drugs, and violence of just about all the other rock and roll bands since God knows when and you might like it too-- or you might not. U2 is famous for writing songs about unity, love, and peace. Bono regularly uses in fame and platform to promote causes to end poverty, 3rd world indebtedness, war, disease and injustice. He probably has a Jesus complex, but I think it's endearing, even noble, if you don't end up growing tired of it. It's lasted 27 plus years now.

This is a really thrilling and unique movie and concert 3D experience. If you get a chance to see and hear it for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
