Across the Universe (2007)

The Universe Across

This psychedelic film is very entertaining. Thanks for the good-looking actors who star in it, except for that Prudence girl who has a face that's full of banters. Haha. Beatles songs were everywhere. Really everywhere that sometimes you don't expect that someone would be singing but still they do suddenly - that was almost lame. I love the Strawberry Fields part, though. I wish it was more psyche...Read more

Verse for Verse, unified and timeless...

''We're navigators, we're aviators, eatin' taters, masturbatin' alligators, bombardiers, we got no fears, won't shed no tears, we're pushin' the frontiers of transcendental perception.''

The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist.

Across the Universe

Taymor's trippy love poem to The Beatles, the 60s, and the bohemian artistic, peaceful nature is either completely embraced or completely despised. But how could you hate a musical with Beatles music, a cute English boy as it's lead, Evan Rachel Wood as a good girl with a power pop-rock voice, a Janis Joplin clone, a Marvin Gaye-Jimi Hendrix hybrid, surreal scenes, and cameos from Joe Cocker, Bono...Read more

Beatles anyone?

What I did know: it is a musical.
What I did not know: it is based on Beatles songs/music.

Typical love story. Nothing new here.

What saves me from giving a 1 or 2/10 rating is the singing. The performers are talented - luckily - and it somewhat makes the film bearable.
The cinematography, the directing, the costumes, the settings... Nothing is memorable...Read more

Across the Universe

I really enjoyed this movie and i thought it was great. If you really enjoy the Beatles then you should definitely watch this movie. All of the songs in it are from the Beatles which made it even more enjoyable.

Review

Not bad... and this from someone who isn't actually a Beatles fan (gasp, shock, I know). It's really just a teen musical, but might prove more interesting to those who've lived through this era. For others, it might just feel like a really long music video.

Not my kind of musical

I know that the Beatles are loved by many and I do like some of their music but when I heard that Across The Universe was really about telling a story using only Beatles songs I wasn't really interested.
But my sister bought the DVD and some of my friends had really liked it, I said "meh" and watched it.
Now that I've seen it, I really don't know what's so special about it....Read more

Entertaining.

The idea behind this film is something that makes so much sense, I’m shocked it took so long for it to come about. A musical, set in a film, containing only renditions of popular Beatles music. Does it work? Well, I suppose that depends on what exactly it was that you wanted from the film. A lot of people responded negatively, attacking the weak story and method in which it was filmed. Others re...Read more

All You Need is Love

OK the first guy that reviewed this movie seems to be a little on the young side for a Beatles based film. I have to admit I did live through the sixties and survive. I do remember the Vietnam War, flower children, and the saying, "Make love not war." With that said I have to admit I really loved this movie.

If you haven't heard about it, it is a love story that revolve...Read more

A musical of Beatles musix

My friends dragged me into this movie and I admit I've never been much of a Beatles fan though I find myself leaning towards becoming one in the near future because I didn't realize the songs were rather catchy.

The movie itself was an affair of you either loved it or hated it. It can come off as a pretentious art film or something of a work of art. To me it was an okay movie, the ...Read more
