U2 3D opens in select cities across America in IMAX theaters today, January 23, 2008! Visit the U2 3D movie website and click ‘Find a Theater’ to find movie showtimes and tickets near you. If you’re still looking for a reason to go, check out our latest reviews:

“The musical documentary “U2 3D,” which stitches together three performances by this Irish rock band during a recent tour of South America, is not merely a technical landmark — shot entirely in digital 3D — but also an aesthetic one… [it] deserves to be called a work of art.” - Matt Zoller Seitz, NY Times, January 23, 2008

“”U2 3D” is the next step toward engaging the “iGeneration” (as Bono and others have called it) by proving that what happens in the flesh can feel as potent in a virtual context.” - Ann Powers, LA Times, January 23, 2008

“U2 3D (* * * * out of four) in many ways delivers an experience that’s even better than the real thing.” - Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY, January 22, 2008

“”U2 3D,” a showcase of the Irish band in digital 3-D that is so technologically advanced and totally exhilarating in every way that it may just make all the other ‘08 concert films obsolete.” - William Arnold, Seattle Post Intelligencer, January 22, 2008

“…the film still resonates as a stunning cinematic experience, and the best rock show I’ve never attended.” - Eliot Van Buskirk, Wired, January 21, 2008

“I don’t use this term lightly, but I really felt like I was witnessing something “revolutionary” in filmmaking.” - Michelle Meyers, cNet News, January 20, 2008
