Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamond in the Desert

This "movie" is perfect for any Hans Zimmer fan! I love a lot of his work and this did not leave me disappointed. The entire concert was fantastic! It truly was a breathtaking experience. The music was, as always, beautiful and exquisite. The interviews were great and very interesting. To listen to such masterpieces in a theatre was such a unique experience. If you are unsure about if you want to go... just do it. Go! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I can bet that you will enjoy it. Some of my favorite pieces didn't make the cut, but that didn't take away from how incredible the film was. Every moment is thoughtfully presented, and each performance is delivered at the highest level. If you are a fan of Hans Zimmer's work, do not miss this chance to experience greatness. Go see this film now-your future self will thank you.

We were lucky to have been able to watch this from the comfort of the Everyman Theatre in Wokingham. The music and photography simply mind blowing. The interviews (in black and white) are, in part, interesting. The musicians are incredibly talented. The "choreography" totally fitted the music. The sets outside of the concert hall (including the goat) worked well enhancing the musical experience. The concert hall footage shows the togetherness of the band. Humour with and appreciation of each other's talents throughout. Getting technical, the editing was superb, the sound quality absolutely excellent.

My 17 year old self went to see Thelma & Louise back in the early 90's, and my life changed on the spot. The score blew my mind and I've been a fan of HZ ever since. I've been to quite a lot of the live shows during the past 8+ years, and the experience is amazing. Watching *the* man himself having fun on stage, playing some of his massive scores with such talented musicians brings me pure joy every time.

I was so excited to find out this film was being released and it didn't disappoint. I couldn't make the Dubai show which they filmed, but I felt like I was there in the front row while watching it. So much energy! It's possibly the only time I didn't mind the cinema audience applauding during a movie! Hoping for a Blu-ray release so I can watch it anytime. Sound was amazing, loved the interviews and the footage captured in the desert and at Dubai Expo site was beautiful.

Hans Zimmer, one of the greatest movie score composers ever, takes his fantastic music on the road and performs some of his most extraordinary pieces on stage. Touring worldwide, he created this documentary to share the concert and give the audience insight into who he is and how he operates.

This is a fantastic concert documentary. The scores Hans Zimmer performed on his tour are the ones many movie fans will easily recognize. This movie splices his live performance with some parts filmed separately, impressive shots of the musicians overlaid with striking visuals, and interviews with people he has worked with. This two-hour and thirty-eight-minute documentary is a must-watch for fans of Han Zimmer or any of the scores he created.

Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamonds in the Desert" is a combination of a concert report from Dubai in 2024, with short interviews with people who have influenced the work of this outstanding film music composer. Among the guests are Christopher Nolan, Dennis Villeneuve, and Jerry Bruckheimer, figures without whom Zimmer could not fully express his talent. The documentary lasts 2.5 hours, which is a very "epic" length, though it seems it could have been a bit shorter. Considering that the interviews add little to the overall theme (those who follow Zimmer's work will not be surprised), are brief, and visually look like phone recordings in a café, I would have preferred the director to focus 100% on the concert, which is interspersed with a few outdoor recordings for the title's needs. Here, the production shines, offering great editing, dynamics, and sound. I really enjoyed the performances of themes from Man of Steel, The Lion King, Gladiator, and The Dark Knight, which had a huge amount of "power." In summary, if you know Hans' music and the films it appeared in, I can't help but recommend it. It's a very nice thing, though not perfect.
