The Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds live concert was a sold-out sensation everywhere it played, and this concert video is the next best thing to being there for all the fans that couldn't get tickets to attend the concert in person. The movie opens with Miley Cyrus backstage in make-up and hair, warming up with vocal exercises, then cuts to Hannah Montana (her alter ego)'s performance of "Rock Star," and then back in time to four weeks before her performance when concert rehearsals were just beginning. It runs like a backstage special feature for a while, following Hannah Montana through coaching, choreography scenes with Kenny Ortega, and rehearsal sessions. Then it's back to concert footage from opening night in St. Louis and all along the tour, seasoned here and there with some fun looks at the concerts' special effects, quick costume changes, other logistical challenges (Hannah gets dropped during a routine early in the tour), and lots of shots of the enthusiastic, mostly female 'tween audiences. The 3D format gives the audience a nice sense of being there and includes some effective, if somewhat overused shots of the crowd waving, Hannah/Miley reaching out to the audience, and fun stunts like the drummer's twirling stick thrown high in the air and the guitar player's pick being tossed out into the audience. The sound is adequate, but fails to replicate the live concert experience (the plus side is that the audience's ears won't be ringing for hours after the performance). Hannah Montana's performance includes "Rock Star," "Life's What You Make It," "Just Like You," "Nobody's Perfect," and "We Got the Party." The Jonas Brothers perform "When You Look Me In the Eyes" and "Year 3000," and then Miley hits the stage with "Start All Over," "I Got Nerve," "I Miss You" (which Miley wrote in honor of her Granddad's passing), "Going Away," "GNO: Girl's Night Out," and "The Best of Both Worlds." This 3D concert presentation truly is the "best of both worlds," a 3D concert experience with easy availability and minimal expense. Better yet is the message that girls can do anything they want if they put their minds and hearts to it. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

On the DVD
The DVD presentation of this concert video differs markedly from the version released in theaters in that the DVD relies on dual colored glasses for the 3-D experience rather than the polarizing glasses used in the theatrical version. The switch in format is necessary because polarizing 3-D technology is not easily applied to the home DVD format. What this means for the home viewer is a significantly discernable loss of color saturation and marked color shift when choosing the 3-D viewing option, versus the standard viewing option or the in-theater experience. The DVD's 3-D effects are still cool, but viewers lose some of the sense of being right in the concert auditorium. Bonus features include the Jonas Brothers performing "S.O.S.," Miley Cyrus singing "Good and Broken," and eight sing-a-long tracks from the movie. The "Backstage Disney: The Ultimate Personal Tour" feature is an 11-1/2-minute guided tour lead by Miley Cyrus that takes viewers through a typically hectic concert day and includes an abundance of interview footage with Cyrus and each of the Jonas Brothers. The tour emphasizes how hard everyone involved in the concert works, guides viewers through the secret passageways and trap doors that make some of the concert's special effects possible, includes a few words from Miley's sister Brandi, and relates Miley Cyrus' passion for her work and her thoughts about her purpose as an entertainer. While the DVD is a must-have for Hannah Montana fans, it's highly recommended that you catch the film in a theater--should it make a return engagement--for the best possible viewing experience. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

Amazing 3D effects
My son is a big fan of Hanna Montana so I bought this dvd .
Well, I would just like to comment on the 3D effects and they are really really good.
There are 4 pairs of glasses in the box, quite comfortable to wear and it really puts you right there in the concert hall.
I fully recommend not only for the music but also for the effects !

Hannah Montana 3-D movie
I bought this item for my grand daughter for her birthday.She said it was a good movie but it jumped back and forth between 3-D and regular movie.Those of us who have seen 3-D movies know this is the norm.She overall gave it a thumbs up.
