The film was a stunning production and an incredibly well-made film that sadly fell short of greatness due to poor story mechanics, but happily, the musical score suffers no fault.

'If this had happened several years ago, I would think it was an unrealistic idea,' said Cui. 'But after I watched the 3D movie of U2's concert, I changed my mind. Improved technology and sound effects evokes the feeling of actually being at a live concert,' he said.'
