IMDb 7.1

If you're a Muse devotee or love immersive concert experiences that actually try something different, this is a must-watch—the 7.1 score reflects a genuinely ambitious blend of narrative and performance. Skip it only if you need a traditional story or aren't into the band; casual viewers will likely find the theatrical spectacle confusing rather than captivating.

Plot

Conceived and filmed at London's O2 Arena in September 2019 the film follows a team of scientists as they investigate the source of a paranormal anomaly appearing around the world. Blurring the lines between narrative and concert film, virtual and reality, Muse's most theatrical tour to date launches the viewer through a supernatural spectacle, questioning the world around us.
