Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pools of Sorrow, Waves of JoyAcross the Universe is a musical directed by Julie Taymor (Titus, Frida). The film incorporates over 30 songs from The Beatles into it's story and is loaded with endless references to other Beatles' songs and associated lore. As a tribute the film is outstanding. As a film it is as visually beautiful as any movie released in 2007 and is definitely worth owning on blu-ray if you are a Beatles fan or, at the very least, you're familiar enough with their catalogue that the many references to their music are not over your head. The other big bonus in Across the Universe is its young cast. The film includes great performances from Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood especially. I did not know that Wood could sing and evidently she can.

The visuals are far beyond good the theme of the movies will keep you glued to your seat while all the while laughing, singing and crying. Big thumbs up!!! Finally Nowadays it's hard to get an 11 year old teenage girl to sit and watch a Musical Love Story set to Beatles Songs, Let me say this movie not only grasped her but also held her for the entire movie (4 Times laughing). Final Thought Blu-ray version best for visual & sound enjoy I have and hope you do as well Rating: - All you need are Beatles songsWhen I first saw the trailer for "Across the Universe" I was pretty sure that I was going to like it. I have dozens and dozens of covers of Beatles songs, having put together playlists for each of the Beatles albums, in many instances having been able to find cover versions of all of the songs on a particular album. Also, in my youth, I contemplated a stage musical that would use the songs of Stevie Nicks to tell the story of the Welsh witch Rhiannon, so I appreciate the inclination. Besides, with 200-plus Beatles songs, the problem would not be finding enough songs for an entire musical but rather drawing a line and getting the finished movie in at under 2 hours. I would have said that using the music of the Beatles as the soundtrack ...

Rating: - Can watch over and over againI saw this movie four times in theatres and even braved a snowstorm for it. It will keep you entertained and captivated and the music is fantastic. A must see for Beatles fans and non fans alike! |
