The next best thing to being there...
The Story:
This is a short concert film that catches Coldplay performing a few of their greatest hits during their latest world tour.
I find it very hard to review a concert film, and or, this is the most straightforward concert film I've seen. It's barely an hour long, and it consists of talking to the band, a song, a little more talking, a song...
Repeat until you finish.
It's not watching an entire concert performance, but it's still very enjoyable.
The downside, they include the duet with Rihanna... but even that talentless hack doesn't ruin the events on the disc.
And as the lead singer says, paraphrased, ' it's cool when the crowd sings along '. And it is, having done so at other concerts, it's fun to feel like you're a part of the show, and when a song is almost designed to give these guys a rest while singing by letting the audience have a go...
Sounds awesome to hear 30,000+ in unison belting your song back to you.
Your grade will depend on your love of Coldplay.
Me: B+ I heard all the songs I wanted.
Would I buy it: Probably not... again, it's short, and I have the songs already. But I could definitely see playing it again streaming while cleaning the house or something like that.
Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.
