Had a huge smile on my face the entire time I was watching it. They’re already my favorite band and they have been for years, but after watching this I love them a million times more now.
Fabulous!! If you like Coldplay, you'll love this movie. It takes you from the beginning up to 2018 with plenty of behind the scenes stuff. I had no idea Chris was such a funny and crazy person. This band works because of all of its members (plus the invisible one), not just one or two.A joy to watch.. 10/10
Gosh, watching this is like relieving my entire life. Coldplay have been together for 20 years, and I am 20 years old. They're one of my mum's favourite bands, they were one of my brother's favourite bands and they became one of my favourite bands really early on. I think I knew how to sing Yellow before I even knew more than 4 words in english - which is why, to this day, I will still some times sing gibberish instead of the actual lyrics to that song. Coldplay have been around my whole life, they're the only big act I've ever seen live more than once. I've been through phases where they were my absolute favourites, others where their music didn't really click with me, but through out all of it, they have always just been there. I was surprised how well I knew the lyrics to the songs from A Head Full Of Dreams cus it took me about 9 months after its release to finally listen to it, from how detached I had grown from the band. It's like they just find a way to worm their way into my head, like they're part of my identity. This film didn't tell me much I didn't know before, from when I was obsessed with them, but it was still cute to relive all of it. From a filmmaking point of view tho, I thought it was slightly messy, but I still really really loved it - my two favourite sequences were the transition between Chris talking about them being a worldwide success in 4 years time and then images of them headlining Glastonbury, and the Yellow sequence about them rising to the top of the charts with their very first single and how, to this day, people will still sing it at the top of their lungs. Those both gave me chills. The ending made me REALLY sad tho, what the hell??? I had no idea they had hit that part of their career where they feel like they're done, I really hope it isn't the end, and I certainly hope whatever album they make next is more to my liking than A Head Full Of Dreams. Either way, Coldplay will always be there for me, and I will always be there for Coldplay.
9/10

This is an extremely well made, really interesting documentary. The band had luck to have met Mat Whitecross, a guy that was at the beginning of his career when he met the four guys that themselves where at the beginning of their career. Because of this, Mat has gathered a huge amount of early days footage from behind the scenes, and in the end, what we get is a seemingly complete history of Coldplay, from the formation at collage to their first gig, first studio works up till their greatest concert tour from 2016-2018.
For everybody even remotely interested in Coldplay (I wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan, I never visited a tour and only have a couple of their albums) this is a no-brainer to watch. I was lucky enough to catch it at the cinemas and it was a great atmosphere with all those hardcore Coldplay fans :D
