Movie Reviews of The Police - Synchronicity Concert
Movie Review: Fantastic Concert, Dated and Distraction Video Production
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of the Police, even a somewhat casual one, this is a must-have. The audio quality is excellent (in fact, it's too good, and some tracks like "Wrapped Around Your Finger" don't sound live at all; although the synchronization is impeccable, it becomes clear that some of the tracks must have been re-recorded, or syncronized to concert video from earlier studio recordings).
The footage edited together is also great, and we see a lot of wonderful little details like Sting bouncing on a trampoline, a tree in a pot onstage, and Stewart Copeland applying tape to his abused fingers. (What was up with their backup singers wearing High School cheerleader outfits, anyway?) It really gives a sense of what an incredibly hard-working and charismatic trio they were -- musicians at the top of their energy level.
The video production is a little primitive and dated. I don't really mind the use of the paintbox-type effects and tinting or switching to monochrome. However, one track in particular sounds fantastic but is painful to watch: "Spirits in the Material World" uses a strobe effect for the entire song (seizure alert!) But even gaffes like that can't ruin it; it has very high replay value.
