Battle of the Bands: Who made a better film?
As you may know, the Rolling Stones new flick, Shine a Light, directed by Martin Scorcese is hitting theaters this week.
Critics have already started comparing this film to the recent hit U2 3D, as both flicks feature major bands delivering energetic, inspiring performances.
I’ll admit, I’m not nearly as big of a Stones fan as I am a U2 fan, but I am a huge Scorsese fan, so I think I’ll probably check it out.
If you’re in the Seattle area like me, the Pacific Science Center is making it very easy to compare the two films, as they’re bringing back U2 3D for a limited run to play alongside Shine a Light: The IMAX Experience.
From April 18 to May 4, U2 3D will be showing Thursday through Sunday at 9:45 each evening. For tickets, visit this page of their site.

Question for anyone in the Seattle area who has seen U23D at this theater…I saw the film in an IMAX in Tampa and it blew me away…the sound was AWSOME. I then saw it in a digital theater in Lacy and the sound sucked…can someone confirm what the SOUND is like in the Pacific Science Center IMAX? I want it LOUD!!!
Thanks!

I have seen the film twice at the Pacific Center IMAX. The sound is wonderful.
And trust me–I go to several movies per week for my podcast, so I know which theaters are weak and which are strong. This one definitely qualifies as strong!
