MOVIE REVIEW:
Technically, Jonas Brothers: The Concert
Experience is not a motion picture even though the DVD cover
declared it is. The truth is it’s just 89 minutes of
concert footages assembled from their Burnin’ Up Tour
which took place in California in July 2008.
For those out there who can’t tell
the difference between who is Kevin, Joe or Nick Jonas, fret
not. This reviewer is equally as befuddled as all of you.
Unless you fall into the girly demographics, I guess you won’t
also know the fact that they are the hottest act on Disney
Channel after High School Musical and Hanna Montana. And even
if you are not familiar with their song repertoire, I’m
sure those digestible pop tunes will get into your ears within
minutes.
The Jonas Brothers prove they are not just
flash in the pan as they play their own array of musical instruments
such as guitar, drums, keyboard and moves like seasoned rock
singers with excellent stage choreography and eye-popping
pyrotechnics. The crowd which mostly made up of adolescent
young girls screams hysterically whatever the boys serenade
them with their brand of mushy love songs. Their Camp Rock
co-star Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift makes a guest appearance
here as well.
Intercut with footages from interviews with
fans on the streets and behind-the-scene snippets, fans of
the Jonas Brothers will find the DVD a rewarding experience
as it include plenty of facial close-ups and energetic ripping
muscles to satisfy your visual senses. Too bad, the 3D experience
from the original theater version is not replicated here.
When you see never-ending shots of people
lining on the streets of Times Square waiting for a glimpse
of the Jonas Brothers, you wonder if this generation of the
Beatles has arrived. The Jonas Brothers composed their own
songs, sing, play musical instruments and possessed wholesome
perfect looks and they are the youngest pop stars to grace
the cover of Rolling Stones magazine. What an achievement
for the group whose average age is only about 20.
This
DVD acts as an introduction to the non-Jonas fans but is a
must-own disc for the diehard fanbase. For me, I have yet
distinguished between who is Kevin, Joe or Nick. It takes
time I know as I don’t shiver nor scream easily at the
sight of the Jonas Brothers unlike the average school girl.
SPECIAL FEATURES :
The DVD consists of 2 Bonus Songs "Love Bug"
and "Shelf" and a 15 minutes feature, Up Close &
Personal: Inside the lives of the Jonas Brothers On Tour,
another repetitive behind-the-scenes special that show footages
of the boys rehearsing and clowning around.
AUDIO/VISUAL:
The sound of teen girls screaming at the top of their
lungs is no joke. Right here, the uninvited sound and the
main music, lyrics can be clearly heard. Visually speaking,
the colours and clarity for the concert sequences look much
more vibrant than some of the intercut shots which look grainy
and coarse.
