U2 3D - Up Close And Personal

Shira and I saw U2 3D last night. If you're a U2 fan this is simply a must see. if you haven't heard about it, it's a 3D IMAX of compilation of 7 concerts they did on their Vertigo tour.

The movie brings you into the front row and on stage to be immersed in the show. You get to see the band members sweat and work their butts off to entertain the 10's of thousands of fans in attendance. It's impressive to feel like Bono is playing just for you.

As cool as it was, I have to say that I was a bit surprised between the difference of being at the concert and watching the concert on the screen. As good as the movie was - and the sound was really remarkable - we were definitely watching the spectacle and not part of it.

Still, for $15.00/ticket instead of say $100/ticket, that's a pretty great deal.

Go see it, it's a fun experience.
