BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Jonas Brothers, The 3D Concert Experience

The Jonas Brothers – The Concert Experience Blu-ray package is a 3 Disk Blu-ray set that includes both the 3D and the non-2D version of the concert. The 3D quality is really good and strong. The set includes 4 pairs of paper glasses and they are the old style blue/red glasses that just kill my old woman eyes after about 20 minutes. I wish they used the new polarized glasses that are used in theaters today. Also only certain pieces of the movie are in 3D namely the concert itself, but the "documentary" portions which is basically just them sitting in a hotel room and shots of screaming girls are in 2D. This is a good thing since it gives you a few minutes where you don’t have to use the glasses. Audio options include English, Spanish and Portugues in 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Subtitles are in English, English for the Hearing Impaired, French, Spanish, Bahasa, Malay, Portugues, and some Asian languages. The Picture quality is of course amazing, featuring a beautiful 1080p 1:85:1 transfer. There’s no letter boxing on my 47-inch widescreen.

Opening Trailers include Snow White, G-Force, some Jonas Brothers TV Show called Jonas, and the Disney Blu-ray trailer.

Features

This package is surprisingly "featureless" but it does include the movie in every version you could want including 2D and 3D versions, an extended version on Regular DVD and a Disney File digital copy for your portable devices. So you won’t have any trouble getting your doze of Jonas on any current media player, there’s no BD-Live functionality. The menu navigation is very basic and plain – especially for a Disney release and is a welcome change.

It includes 2 bonus songs – Love Bug and Shelf

Up close and Personal with the Jonas Brothers (15 Min. Featurette)

Conclusion

I’ll admit it I’ve never understood the entire concept of fanatics – going crazy over some celebrity to the point of crying and fainting just for being in their presence. The movie doesn’t do anything to show you who they really are as people. But the Jonas Brothers appear to be the real deal, in the fact that they do seem to have depth and talent in the one thing that matters and that’s their music. I would actually purchase some of their music on iTunes now and I can give it no higher compliment than that.  It’s currently available on Blu-ray and DVD.
