Has anyone any information as to what cinema is showing the new U2 movie in Belfast or surrounding towns?
It's on at the omniplex in Lisburn http://www.omniplex.ie/ (http://www.omniplex.ie/)
What is it? Documentary, live show, both?
The film was shot in South America during the band's "Vertigo" tour entirely in digital 3-D.
For over a quarter-century, U2 has been recognized not only for their musical innovation, but for their incomparable gift for reaching millions of fans through new technologies.
"U2 3D" - the first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production - reflects the band's longstanding embrace of technology and its belief that "U2 3D" has the potential to revolutionize digital 3D technology. Marrying advanced digital 3D imagery and 5.1 Surround Sound with the unique excitement of a live U2 concert, "U2 3D" takes viewers on an extraordinary cinematic journey, a quantum leap beyond traditional concert films.

Some one should tell him he is wearing a polo neck.
So you are telling me he was way before his time? I thought he always travelled back in time?

Oh boy......
Anybody else seen this yet? Saw it on Saturday night. Absolutely amazing techonology, it really was like 'being there'. As far as the actual show it was U2 times 100, no gimmicks or back-stage stuff, just the full concert end-to-end. If you like U2 you'll love the show if you don't like U2, you'll hate it with a vengance (but probably still be amazed at the technology).
how does it work, i hear you wear the 3D glasses, are they same ones from a few years ago or a bit more complex.

those ones gave me headaches,
Wouldn't mind seeing it. Lisburn's too far for me though. Anywhere in Tyrone?

It's a new technology. The glasses are like sunglasses, with tinted lenses, rather than them being different colours. The image is amazingly clear (probably the bext I've ever seen) and the 3D is more 'real' rather than just things sticking out of the screen.
This is Bonio and the boys with their glasses on.

Are they not Bono's normal glasses?

Apparently there's only a lock of places with the technology to show it and unfortunately (or unsurprisingly!) Tyrone isn't included. In fact the only place that can show it in NI is Belfast Omniplex, Lisburn. South of the border you can see it at 2 cinemas in Cork, 3 in Dublin, 1 in Dun Laoghaire and 1 in Dungarvin, Waterford.
Saw it the other night, great show, its a concert from Buenos Aires in 3d and is bloody good, doesn't last that long though. Lisburn is only 10 miles from Belfast so well worth the trip
are the tickets hard to get for this? I was trying to get them online there but they seem to be booked up. How much do they cost?
