I saw them in concert here in Montreal a couple of years ago. They were technically good and sounded great but I hated the "in the round" stage, and you see a part of that stage in the movie trailer.
The problem was that the stage was too big. It felt really empty, and the band members were too far apart, basically playing to their own ends of the stage. I kind of had the feeling that they were 4 separate musicians instead of "1 band". There was also little to no spectacle either. A bit of pyro, some black balloons, etc...
But still, they're awesome, and this movie looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing it and hearing it in a bazillion watts of imax sound.
