A wonderful combination of music and visuals from A-ha. Set in the North of Norway, close to the arctic and with added. Arctic Philharmonic orchestra.

A-ha keeps the artistic and creative flame alive, combining great music, thoughtful lyrics and wonderful visuals.

A band that started out in the 80's and that has continued to this day, celebrating 40 years in the business, leaves us with a wonderful celebration of the dramatic nature, people and homeland.

The band members who are now in their early 60's leaves us once again, wanting for more.

Hopefully this will not be the last we hear and see from A-HA.

Sad to see the couple of negative reviews thus far. Having been an Aha fan for 40 years now, I was very quick to book a ticket to the one night only movie. I loved the tone and mood set, some very good songs, and a few that may take a few listens to get into....not surprising for any album. That they are still together and making quality music is fantastic. I can't wait to see this movie on my home cinema, as the picture quality on the movie screen was lacking in brightness and clarity to be honest. The " green " message may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's poignant none the less, and we all need to do something here.

I have been a fan for countless years at this point, but will admit not every album is perfect. Of course there are always stunning pieces, but there have been tracks I skip as well. True North is a different experience altogether, from start to finish, and the film's overall takeaway of music and images is breathtaking. It's just a beautiful blend of sight and sound. We have only seen the film once, but by now we've listened to the tracks multiple times, and I can't wait to purchase or rent and watch again knowing the music better. All these songs are steady growers - and they have reached an infectious state in this house. Easily their best album in decades.

I am from Bodø and was initially excited to see A-ha, a legendary Norwegian band, focus on Bodø in an album and a video. However, I was disappointed. While the imagery is beautiful, it's easily achievable by anyone with a mobile camera or a cheap drone. The nature here is stunning.

Sadly, the impressive visuals are overshadowed by uninspired songwriting and lack of melody. Morten Harket, who usually sings beautifully, seems to struggle with the material. After 30 minutes, I had to turn it off; it was giving me a headache and dampening my mood.

The lyrics lack rhythm, rhyme, and inspiration, consisting mostly of superficial platitudes. It's disheartening to think I might produce similarly shallow work one day without even realizing it. A-ha's stature as mega-stars may have contributed to the project's lackluster quality, with too many people overlooking its flaws out of reverence for the band.

Despite this misstep, A-ha remains great, and I hope this project fades into obscurity while their earlier, more memorable music continues to receive attention in the future.
