Once you see it, you will wonder why they need special effects at all - the 3D is that good.

And of course - if you enjoy the music of U2 - it makes it that much better. I am not a real fan of U2 - but I really enjoyed the presentation. Jaw dropping to say the least.

Of course the 6 channel IMAX audio system helps also.
How does it look compared to "Space Station" in IMAX 3D? I was told very much the same things when that came out and it still didn't look very convincing to me--more like multi-plane animation than real 3D depth.

I'm perfectly prepared to believe it's my eyeglasses, but if it is, lots of people are going to have issues with 3D at home--I can't even imagine buying a new HDTV and player for that purpose...
