U2 3D: A Review (not by me, of course)

I've been ranting and whining about the U2 3D movie and when it will be shown here in the Philippines, and expect me to rant and whine some more.

You can't blame me. The film has been getting great reviews, and I HAVE to see it. Just check this review by Alex Bilington posted on @tU2:

"The best way to describe the experience is that it's simply like being at the concert. It was incredibly loud, as loud as being there (a very good thing), and visually stunning. It wasn't like standing in the audience surrounded by sweaty fans, it was as if you were flying in and out of the stage and all around, getting the fully immersive U2 experience. And the 3D topped it all off. I truly felt the energy and power of U2 live, from the fans to the way Bono acts. And I think all the fans and those who have actually seen U2 live will agree -- they really captured that experience." (read more here: http://www.atu2.com/news/article.src?ID=4848)


As I've said before, this could be the closest thing I could ever come to seeing U2 in concert, so this better be shown here in the Philippines. Come on, SM...I shop at your stores, I eat in your fast food chains, I watch movies in your theaters...do this for me, for the hundreds, thousands of U2 fans here in the Philippines who have about a 1% chance of seeing this great band live.

Please, please, please play this movie in your iMax theater.
