Review of Across the Universe (2007) by Robert M — 29 Dec 2013
Wow I didn't think I would like this since I'm not really a Beatles fan but it kinda blew my mind. Together with a really good story, satisfying romance, interesting versions of well known Beatles songs (complete with cool cameos -Bono, Joe Cocker) and musical numbers with amazingly trippy choreographed dance routines this was just so good. A couple numbers stood out for me: "Come Together" with Joe Cocker, just wow, the business people dancing and shuffling on the busy NY street and "I want You (?)" with the brother getting inducted into the army was downright scary with a very Pink Floyd Another Brick In The Wall feel to it. I'm not one for the musicals but I can't wait to watch this again. 06.13.
"A trippy magical mystery tour that grooves to more than 30 Beatles songs preformed by the cast. An American named Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) falls in love with Jude from Liverpool (Jim Sturgess) against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960's.".
