Catch U2 in 3D glory

So all your friends went to Australia to catch U2's 360 tour. Well, no matter. You can actually just head on down to Jurong, to the Singapore Science Centre to be precise, where they're screening U2 3D, the first ever live action digital 3D concert movie. Shot during their Vertigo tour in South America, the concert movie - actually a truncated version of their usual show - first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.

Why screen it at the Science Centre? "We want to share with our visitors the advances of technology in digital 3D and other forms and how this corresponds with the Centre's promotion of science and technology," explained associate professor Lim Tit Meng, the Science Centre's chief executive.

The movie however, won't be shown in the Omni-Theatre, which will undergo renovations from Jan 3 until Mar 31 (although things like the Robot Zoo exhibition and other outlets will still be open). Instead, it's being screened at the 3D Theatre at The Annexe. However, despite the fact that the sound could have been louder when we watched it - fans will probably find that the sheer power of U2's performance ought to dispel any misgivings they might have. And let's face it, at $15, it's definitely a lot cheaper than a regular U2 concert ticket.
