U2 on the big screen
Got up to see a movie at 8 in the morning.
Not a good thing when you haven’t had coffee. But this one rocked.
It was “U2 3D,” a 3D concert film featuring U2. Yep, the title is self-explanatory. It was only about an hour long, but it was like having the best seat in the house at a U2 concert. Not a bad thing, at all.
Quite amazing, with shots of the crowd coming into your face, Bono’s hand reaching out to you and lots of special effects. It’ll probably make a great midnight movie in the States, especially if you’re in the right mind-set and ready to get revved up to rock ‘n’ roll.
It reminded me of my college days, listening to “Dark Side of the Moon,” but quite a bit more upbeat and not so sleep-inducing.
More to come later today and tomorrow, with Leo DiCaprio’s “The 11th Hour,” Julianne Moore’s “Savage Grace” and the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men.”
