Oil Can Boyd Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have not but I did see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D concert movie with my daughter, and it was OK.One of the weird things is that Kay Hanley and Stacy Jones from Letters to Cleo are in her band.

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I liked it! There's a lot of talk about it in this U2 thread: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?sho...29119&st=40 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I loved it more than anyone who's already said they loved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I thought it was great. The effects were cool. I just wish they hadn't cut the setlist. The movie is at least a half-hour shorter than one of their usual shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm going to see it when it opens in my area next weekend. I'm a big U2 fan, so I might even go see it twice. I've heard nothing but really good things about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 is it a normal movie ticket price, or higher? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 it's Imax prices... $12 here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcroach Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I saw it in Indianapolis last weekend. It was great. Run, don't walk to your nearest IMAX to see it. Worth the $13.50 I paid. If you're a U2 fan and have seen them in in concert, you'll be taken back to the show you saw. If you've never seen them before, this is the next best thing to being there. If you're a Bono hater, and there are a lot on these boards, stay far away. It's everything you all hate about Bono and U2. I'm a huge U2 fan, so I'm biased. I saw it with 4 friends. 2 of which had never seen U2 and another who's a more casual fan and they all loved it. Bono's over the top dramatic moments are even more over the top on a 6 story tall screen in 3D. A little corny, but we love that about him, right? For the casual fan, they cut out a lot of Bono's typical sermonizing. There's some, but not a lot. Miss Sarajevo with Bono's performance of the Italian originally sung by Luciano Pavarotti was the musical highlight for me. Two thumbs up. :thumbup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 we paid like $10.50 at the IMAX - and for Chicago, that's about what you pay for a regular movie these days. So, it wasn't too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
