A
"
3D
is an experience that will overwhelm the faithful and enchant the newcomers...a well-rehearsed corker of a show that hits all the U2 basics while providing unsettling intimacy far beyond the limitation of previous cinematic concert efforts."

Brian Orndorf
B+
"The transparent state-of-the-art 3-D look of a colorful U2 concert at a coliseum in Buenos Aries, Argentina is extraordinary, and easily makes up for the band's lyrically simplistic agitprop songs."

3/4
"It's "Even Better Than the Real Thing" (arguably)."

David N. Butterworth
"The 15 numbers inluded in 'U2 3D' are as close as the flat screen can get to 'the palpable thrill of actually being at a U2 concert.'"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
2/4
"Anyone who owns Rattle and Hum knows that U2 is a great live act, but what's the point of
U2 3D
beyond simulating a front-row view of one of their concerts?"
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"While there's no denying that this is a fine concert film that should certainly please fans, it's not a watershed picture of its kind."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"Thanks to some impressive - and vastly-improved - 3D technology, this concert film, documenting the
Vertigo
tour, is about as close as you'll get to being on stage with U2."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
B
"groundbreaking film that effectively uses hi definition to capture the concert experience"
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
3/5
"A 60-foot IMAX screen showing a 60-foot Bono on a screen at the concert might be a new definition of kitsch."
Movie Insider
Mark Dujsik
B+
""U2 in 3D" doesn't just give you the feeling of being at a rock concert. It gives you the feeling of being a rock star."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
"While
U2 3D
delivers what it promises to, it doesn't do anything further."
Cinematical
Nick Schager
4/5
"The film is certainly a visual spectacle and fans looking for nothing more than a visual jukebox will be delighted with it but those hoping for something more from the group may find themselves coming away from it feeling a little disappointed."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
4/5
"The rock mega-band U2 has made so many concert films that it's hard to get excited about this one.... But the film is a revelation, redefining 3D live-action moviemaking."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B
"It is a band apart, both in terms of music and message."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
7/10
"A very real and state-of-the-art 3-D experience showing the undubbed work of the one the greatest rock bands and several of the greatest rock audiences in the world."
