Massive film is unfathomably close to the live audience experience.
For the millions who could’ve never dreamed they’d ever have the chance at the best seat in the house at a Taylor Swift concert, that moment came to movie theaters on Thursday — and it didn’t cost tens of thousands of dollars, just $19.89 ($13.13 for kids).
The massive 2-hour, 48-minute concert movie “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is for all the nosebleeders, the at-homers, the people whose cellphones lost juice or storage space while taking in a show this summer. Whether you got lucky with the chance to see Swift in the flesh and are reliving all the moments or are doing it for the first time now, it is unfathomably close to having the same experience. (It’s also definitely worth it to spring for the extra $5 for the Dolby theaters for the best viewing opportunity.)
Director Sam Wrench should already be fielding Grammy whispers for this epic summation of one of the biggest tours of the year (or decade), capturing every minute detail of the experience with unparalleled precision. From the giant crowd roars to booming acoustics and 360-degree views that would be nearly impossible to achieve from anywhere in the stadium stands, Wrench and his team found a way to create a direct translation of the intense energy brought at Swift’s concerts while also making the star herself become fully 3D (no funny movie glasses even needed).
