I walked out

Rating: 1/10 (23 September 2007)

This is only the second movie I have ever walked out on. The first was Orca the killer whale. I love the Beatles and I grew up in those times. This was a gorgeous, yet tedious, experiment, and a really, really bad idea.
The Beatles songs don't tell a story they are a soundtrack to a story of a time. To try and make the songs serve the dramatic ends of the trite and predictable story line was laughable.
On the other hand, the special effects and the staging were surrealistic and imaginative. The actors were, of course, young and appealing. so that's a plus. Break this up into music videos and maybe it can be watched one number at a time on home video.
Here in Chicago it should be a hit at the local night club movie viewing venue , the Brew and View where you can drink beer and scream things at the movie screen.
