Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES)

A warm and inviting storyThis story was built around the music of the beatles rather than music picked to fit into the story. Julie taymor did an amazing job of weaving a story into the songs of the best band that ever existed. WATCH IT!.Score: 5/5

Helping or Hurting the Beatles?What a lame excuse not to like a movie. Reviewers should spend more time evaluating the movie not their relationship to their time! Anyway fun movie of the "Baby Boomer' era. Evan Rachel Wood as always decorates any film she's in..Score: 5/5

Good movie to fall asleep to.This is a great movie to fall asleep to if you like sleeping with the TV on. Great movie, and good to put on in the background when you are doing something at home like cuddling with a girl because there is music all the time and its good music. A movie you can watch with your ears and be just fine with it!!!! Must buy.Score: 5/5
A must own for Beatles music fans.Yet one more example in a vast sea of examples of Rotten Tomatoes inability to divine what is good in film. This is a spectacularly good movie with an even better soundtrack. Visually and musically entertaining with a totally magnificent cast. Imagine the difficulty of a film with actors singing the iconic Beatles catalog. As well as how best to visualize a cohesive story set around that music. Well IMO they achieved nothing short of perfection! While the price is arguably inflated, in the long run I think it's worth every penny..Score: 5/5

Amazing 😍I completely disagree with gamzguy this movie was one of the best I had ever seen the renditions try do may be more modern but that's because they want to appeal a little bit more to the audience of today yes but I love the Beatles and a movie that was so well played out with all the songs that fit really well with the plot of the film and I absolutely love this movie and whoever buys it that loves the Beatles will not be disappointed.Score: 5/5
Beatles Fans...SorryA musical based on the music from my Number one favorite band: The Beatles! What can go wrong? Well, I'm afraid to say that despite the number of references from locations, to scenarios, to characters names of Beatles lyrics and the nice visuals; "Across The Universe" just didn't execute anything else very well. The story was just uninteresting, felt bored throughout, and I just didn't like the renditions of these classics. It's done in a way that pop vocals are done these days, constantly going up and down with octaves and pitches. It's not my cup of tea. The dull characters also don't help liven the show. I don't hate this film, because I appreciate the eye-candy scenes, and perhaps some themes that were going on (Strawberry Fields Forever in particular); but I wouldn't see it again. I wanted something so much more interesting to watch/listen to when I think of a Beatles musical. Very disappointed. :(.Score: 2/5
