So, we just got back from the most amazing IMAX film I’ve ever seen, U2 3D. My wife won tickets to a pre-release showing of it partially thanks to my speedy google skills. Basically, they filmed several U2 concerts with fancy 3D IMAX cameras, and mixed it all together to create one single flowing film. The 3D was impressive, the clarity of the images were mind boggling. The sound was fantastic. Not only did it give a real feel of being at the concert, you felt like you were on stage with the band! It’s hard to convey how realistic and how thrilling the whole experience was. If you are a U2 fan, or even just kinda like some of their songs, you owe it to yourself to go see this. I know my wife and I would love to go see it again, so if anyone around here is interested let us know and we’ll come too!

What I found most amusing is that the geek in me never really sleeps… On the stage there is this hundred plus foot high screen made up of hundreds of smaller panels… Looked like LED displays. I couldn’t help but try to imagine the resolution something that size had, and what hardware it must take to drive it all… I also spent the whole time wondering why on earth there is no U2 in Rock Band!

While we were waiting for the show, we watched another movie there. Juno was impressive in it’s own way, and I recommend it to anyone who might have any interest in it.

As I’m still being thrilled by the after affects of that show, I’m going to go lie down and try to imprint the whole thing in my memory… It was just too good for words.
