Glee: The 3D Concert Movie is, as the title so blandly suggests, a concert movie of Glee
in 3D. It also briefly documents how the lives of three teens were
changed by Glee, which is surprisingly fascinating and affecting but
also chintzy and overly melodramatic. It gives a little staying power
and substance to an otherwise forgettable and disappointing film. The
problem with releasing a concert movie for a TV show is that there are
newer, more popular songs with every new episode that everyone will want
to hear when they watch this movie. Not knowing when this concert took
place, especially in the context of the show, will make it very
unsatisfying to people who are expecting to hear specific songs that
were released after this movie was made. Unfortunately, there's no way
to really find out which songs they will sing and which ones they will
not unless you go see the movie. And that's really my problem: I wanted
to hear them sing a lot of songs they never sang. The ones that they did
sing were great and I really enjoyed them, but it was an entirely
frustrating experience overall.
Of note, in the screening I saw, the audio and video were out of sync by about half a second throughout the entire movie. That, combined with the bad 3D filmmaking, made it all the more headache-inducing and annoying.
