\"Stories<\/figure>\n

This week I got an advance peek at \u201cBono: Stories of Surrender,\u201d which is out today (it\u2019s a beautiful day) on Apple TV+<\/a>. It\u2019s a movie version of the U2 frontman\u2019s one-man show based on his book of the same name. It\u2019s available in a standard TV format, but also as an immersive video on the Vision Pro, which is what I watched.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a U2 fan since \u201cThe Joshua Tree,\u201d which dropped at exactly the right moment in my high school days, so of course I loved the content. Bono tells a version of his life story, occasionally breaking into short versions of his songs, backed by a mostly-string trio. It\u2019s shot in black and white, but embellished with bright white-and-yellow animated drawings. I thought the presentation was quite effective, enhancing already-excellent live-action stagecraft.<\/p>\n

(Chairs on stage represent the members of U2; a pair of armchairs and a table represent a place at the pub favored by Bono\u2019s father. But his father appears in the chair as an animated line drawing. It\u2019s clever and affecting.)<\/p>\n

At 85 minutes, \u201cStories of Surrender\u201d is also the longest immersive video Apple has ever released. To be clear, though, this isn\u2019t 85 minutes of immersive video; it\u2019s 85 minutes of video, with maybe 15 or 20 minutes of it containing immersive stage or concert footage. Several musical numbers are shot in immersive, and they\u2019re great. The switch between immersive footage and a standard widescreen flat image wasn\u2019t too jarring, either\u2014it reminded me of seeing a film with \u201cselected scenes in IMAX\u201d, where the frame size changes, then changes back. It\u2019s noticeable, but didn\u2019t break me out of the experience.<\/p>\n

I also really admire the work the filmmakers did in creating immersive versions of a lot of the animated white-and-yellow annotations that are the hallmark of the film. At several points, the annotations spring out of the traditional movie frame, or appear in front of the frame, or even mingle with items in the frame. It felt like a creative solution to the issue of being unable to shoot the entire film in a fully immersive setting, while still offering Vision Pro viewers something more spectacular than the standard version.<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I\u2019m still a little frustrated by Apple\u2019s pace here. The company\u2019s mysterious ways make it feel like it\u2019s running to stand still, having not presented an immersive video that offers sustained immersive content at greater length. Nine minutes into \u201cStories of Surrender,\u201d the credits start rolling\u2014the opening<\/em> credits. But Apple\u2019s immersive content has so trained me to expect only bite-sized chunks, I legitimately thought for a moment that they were the end credits.<\/p>\n

Clearly, producing this stuff is technically difficult<\/a>, but this film just makes me want to see more. More immersive video, a full immersive concert experience, a full immersive theatrical experience, an immersive sports experience\u2014something that\u2019s even better than the real thing. I have a burning desire for that ultimate, long-form immersive video, and while \u201cStories of Surrender\u201d is excellent, I still haven\u2019t found what I\u2019m looking for. I hope I don\u2019t have to wait until the end of the world.<\/p>\n
