Bono should refrain from ramming his preachy political meanderings down our throats and let the music do the talking. Even if some of that music becomes a little stultifying.

Derek Adams, Time Out

The 3-D visuals envelop you, majestically, and that effect fuses with the band's surround-sound rapture to create a full-scale sensory high. U2 3D makes you feel stoned on movies.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The 3-D element is unobtrusively handled, except when it perfectly re-creates the woman who's always perched on her boyfriend's shoulders in front of you at a concert...

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

The concert itself is spectacularly produced, with Jumbotrons providing backdrop and long, curving runways that allow Bono and other band members to move far out into the crowd.

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

The problem with U2 3D is that the U2 part is rarely as thrilling as the 3D part.

Steven Hyden, AV Club
