5.0 out of 5 stars The Just-As-Useful Review of a "Minority", April 16, 2008

By 

JJITAFWLS (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition (DVD)

As a 16 year old male, I recieved far more than several strange looks upon entering the theatre to see this movie. There was one girl in particular who sat in front of me and managed to turn around and look at me with a rather pathetic lack of comprehension somewhere between 10 to 20 times before the movie started. I could just see in her eyes that she, like many of the other close-minded immature tweens whom surrounded me, was thoroughly considering either my sanity or my sexual orientation. It really is incredibly unsettling that our society is as bigoted and incapable as it is. Target demographic, shmarget demographic; Miley/Hannah's music is incredibly entertaining, well composed, and, at times, moving, regardless of age or gender.

BUT anyway, on with the review...

Miley's voice is amazing. It's even better live than on her CD's, and this film presents absolutely no exception. Her control and range are darn impressive, while at the same time her voice maintains an innocence and untapped potential that makes it satisfyingly difficult to stop listenting to her. I have to say that I love the unique controlled vocal crack that seems to be her signature during extended segments of vocal influctuation. She's also absolutely fearless; how many 15 year olds could keep their composure in front of 15,000+ people nearly every night with the comfort and facility that she does?
And on top off all her talent, she is, to put it incredibly frankly, pretty darn hott.

The instrumentation throughout the concert was superb. Her lead guitarist and drummer especially were outstanding in my opinion. One thing that I love about concert experiences is that the music itself is always far better than it is on the recording, since record companies and such can't put restrictions on spantaneous improvisations by the musicians. It was also a treat to listen to Miley play an acoustic guitar during "I Miss You."

Perhaps the best part of the film was the 3D effect. The glasses, thank God, weren't the blue and red sort that leave your color perception ruined and your head aching for hours, but were much better quality plastic ones.
I happen to be an aspiring filmmaker, so coming from a cinematographic point of view, this movie left nothing to be desired. Sweeping camera shots, pleasantly unexpected close ups, and creatively fun visual tricks in post production made the absolute best use of the 3D effect possible. At one point during viewing, I almost subconsciously convinced myself that I actually WAS right there, front row at her performance. You literally feel like you could reach out and touch her at any time.
The vibrant use/balance of color was in no way distorted by the glasses [if anything, the 3D effect enhanced them] and the very well designed stage setup and enormous venue could've made even the smallest theatre seem wonderfully spacious.

One of my personal favorite moments of the experience was the period of time in which the incomparable Jonas Brothers played a few songs while Miley changed. Their dramatic music, rich instrumentation, and dependably deep and passionate performances/vocals alone were worth the $15, and one can only hope that they will release a filmed concert as well... Haha, but I digress.

My only complaint would have to be that the entire concert is not included. There were numerous songs that I was looking forward to, but that didn't make it past the cutting room floor. I suppose they had to pick and choose between performances though since they had to fit behind-the-scenes action as well.

All in all, this movie is incontrovertably entertaining and simply bursting with refreshing talent. People can tell me I'm "not supposed" to enjoy what Miley has to offer all they want, but the fact of the matter is that she is a quality entertainer and to refuse fandom based merely on social expectation is ridiculous and pathetic. I cannot wait until this DVD comes out, and you can bet that it'll be in my DVD player before the day it becomes available is through.

2.0 out of 5 stars not a good 3D experience, August 21, 2008

By 

Karen - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition (DVD)

I bought this dvd thinking it would be great to watch because Miley Cyrus is a great singer and performer, but when I opened it to watch the 3D version there was nothing 3D about it. It came with four red and blue 3D glasses . It made me feel nauseated (well, not really) but I could not watch anymore of the 3D version. You can even watch it without the glasses because it looks like the 2D version except with a little blur. It is horrible like watching VHS version. It was a disappointment. I might return it if i can. I wonder if other 3D glasses will work. For me, I don't like concert versions of songs.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Disney Concert, August 24, 2008

This review is from: Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition (DVD)

The Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds concert usually sold out in minutes that it was announced. Disney is use to capitalize on a trend (like High School Musical, The Concert - Extreme Access Pass). They recorded the concert and did it in Disney 3-d DVD format, so making it an extra special event for even those who saw this concert in tour or in the movie theater

This version has the concert in 2-d (normal viewing) and 3-d. It has four pair of 3-d glasses, so the family can watch the concert together. I wish Disney did that for Spy Kids 3-D Game Over (Two-Disc Collector's Series)

Like most concert tours, it shows the behind the scenes look at the concert. Some very cute for the Disney Tweens who love the Montana show. Some of the behind the scenes look like childish pranks, but then I remember Miley is only fifteen herself.

The concert is entertaining and lively. The Jonas Brothers on the bill, this concert film cant miss

However, the intercutting between the concert and the rehearsal/behind the scenes gets on my nerves. I would rather the full concert, without the behind the scenes footage.

I can not wait until November when Disney releases The whole first season of Hannah Montana. I know my niece Julia will love it for Christmas (like she loves this DVD) and I will again her a GREAT uncle in her eyes for a few more minutes
