Release date: February 26, 2026 | DIRECTOR: Mark C. Eshleman
I’m generally not the type of person to head to a theater for a movie centered around a live concert; usually, if I'm not there in the actual grass or the pit, I’d rather just listen to the album at home. Honestly? I wouldn’t have even bought a ticket if it weren’t for my significant other. When people claim to be the ‘biggest fan' of a band, they are usually exaggerating - but with her and Twenty One Pilots, it’s the literal truth. Seeing this meant the world to her, which meant it mattered to me, too.
And I’m more than happy to report that I loved pretty much every second of it.
Don’t get me wrong - I went in as a ‘plus one' but as the credits rolled, I realized I had been completely sucked in. It felt like I was actually sitting in the venue, watching the powerhouse duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun perform for a massive sea of 65,000 people. I have a solid frame of reference because I’ve actually seen this band perform live before, and man, do they know how to move a crowd. As of late, I’ve grown to really take to their music myself, which only made the 120-minute runtime feel even more immersive.
The highlight for me, however, was the atmosphere. We were surrounded by a theater full of die-hard fans - some were singing every word, others were in complete awe, just sitting there taking it all in. But my girl? She was the star of our row. She was singing, dancing, and constantly engaging with me. Seeing how much this experience meant to her honestly made my own experience ten times better. That’s really what films like this are all about.
If I had one minor gripe, it’s that I wanted more of the ‘human' element. The movie featured some great behind-the-scenes action, ranging from interviews to the crew setting up the massive venue, and even some clips of the duo just being silly together before the show. BTS footage is usually my favorite part of these types of projects, and I just wish the film had leaned into those moments a bit more. While I know the concert itself is the main draw, a little more of that ‘curtain-pull' work would have been the icing on the cake.
Is it a must-watch? Absolutely. Even if you aren't a member of the ‘Skeleton Clique' yet, the energy is infectious. I probably won’t make a habit of reviewing concert films, and I definitely wouldn't have been there without the person I love, but I am incredibly glad I went. It turns out that sometimes the best cinematic experiences aren't about the plot, but the passion behind the music.
Final Verdict: Is it good or does it suck?
It’s fantastic. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just tagging along for the ride, you’ll leave feeling like you were part of something huge. It was only in theaters for a few days, so if you can get your hands on a link or a copy somehow, 100% give it a go.
