Across the Universe

Pros: Great music from the BeatlesDramatic RomanceFun MusicalPsychedelic Scenes
Cons: Drug contentViolenceInappropriate languageSexual contentNudity

Across the Universe               The Beatles’ greatest hits, a passionate romance, and psychedelic scenery sounds like the making of a great musical in 2007. Across the Universe has become ...

Pros: Musical love story; one of a kind. Great music.
Cons: Has some drug content and violence.

I wanted to see this movie from the first time I saw the previews on tv. After I saw the movie I knew it was going to be a classic. It kept my attention from beginning to end; with psychedelic scenes to famous lyrics from The Beatles. This movie was ...

Pros: Wonderful music and good flowing story. Fun movie.
Cons: None!

Before watching Across the Universe, I found myself with one major concern: since this is a musical whose soundtrack was limited to the works of one band (not that the Beatles repertoire is a small library to choose from), the events could easily seem ...

Pros: Great Beatle film for Beatles fans with Beatles characters.
Cons: Very strange film.  If you don't like "art films" don't watch this film.

At a time when true creativity is not much there, Julie Taymor comes out with a movie such as this. It's a musical, but not a traditional film musical. Your traditional film musical is based on a Broadway musical but this is the only musical I've seen ...

Pros: Decent renditions of Beatles songs. Pleasant enough lead actors and some nice cameos.
Cons: Drab supporting cast. Plot. Just an excuse to sing Beatles songs and film arty imagery.

My wife and I are both firm fans of The Beatles so when trailers for Across the Universe began to appear we were somewhat intrigued. This looked rather lavish and from what we were shown on the trailer there were some pretty decent ...

Pros: The music, the story, the acting, the times...everything.
Cons: Are you insane?

Across the Universe (2007) Directed by Julie Taymor ”Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough, it keeps the demons away.” JoJo. This movie is a story about Jude, a Liverpudilian who comes to ...

Pros: Beatles songs, visuals
Cons: Too long in the tooth

I'm a fan of the Beatles. I always have been and always will be. Not only are they one of the most influential acts on the history of rock n roll but they're just damn good. When it comes to their songs, you think of Help!, Let It Be, A Hard Day's Night, ...

Pros: Eye Opening!!!
Cons: May need to be in an altered state of mind to fully appreciate...

Across the Universe is set in the 60's. The soundtrack to this movie is made up entirely of all Beatles songs. Which my boyfriend and I felt were very well picked, complimenting the movie in various ways. This Movie I believe has a love/hate effect on ...

Pros: The phenomenal actors, awesome soundtrack, and exquisite art direction
Cons: weird film, especially the scene with the circus and the women falling into the water.

When Across the Universe hit theaters, all my friends told me I had to see it because it was (in their minds) one of the greatest films ever made. Of course, I set out to see it wondering if they were right. Going into it, I wasn't sure what to expect, ...

Pros: -Great cast -Great visual effects
Cons: -A bit long -Hard to follow if your not watching it closely

When I was forced to watch this movie, I thought it would be the longest two hours of my life. Little did I know I would soon buy this movie and watch it on multiple occasions. Across the Universe is a film that takes place in the 1960’s right in the ...

Pros: Some of the musical scenes are truly ingenious.
Cons: At times Julie Taymor got just a little bit too weird for me

I had heard a lot about “Across the Universe” before I rented it, but really wasn’t sure what to expect. Nearly everyone I knew who had seen the film had a powerful reaction to it- either positive or negative. From what my friends and family told me, I ...

Pros: Certainly tries for big things. A couple of the bits were fun.
Cons: Silly, boring and butchers classic songs with feeble "reimaginings."

Where to start? There are so many things to dislike about this film, I hardly know how to start. It's a bad film, but not like BLOODRAYNE II or BENCHWARMERS is a bad movie. It's been made by committed, creative people who somehow missed actually stepping ...

Pros: Another great tribute to the Beatles
Cons: it may take more than one viewing to really appreciate it

I originally heard about this movie from my mother, who found out about it on an episode of Oprah. She said she thought this was something my fiancee and I would be interested in. She was right, I was curious since the beginning. The only problem was ...

Pros: Good music, simple comfortable love story, a likable charm that isn't easy to describe.
Cons: Redundant musical scenes in places, Not enough representation for the artistic image of the film

I myself enjoyed this film, for what it was I enjoyed it. However, going into this film, after viewing the semi-psychedelic trailers, I was anticipating a film that was more about artistic expression and anti-war politics during the turbulent time of the ...

Pros: Great music, good singing, and acting
Cons: Very weak, thrown together story.

Being a huge Beatles fan for many many many years, I was super excited to see this new movie featuring many of this legendary bands songs. Unfortuantly, for me this movie seemed to fall flat in many aspects. I think the reason we sit down and spend two ...
