Perfect for a Home Theater

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2011)

I just finished installing a home theater. In particular I have an projector that casts a 13 foot wide image (older 720 model). Many friends have been over to see the installation and Across the Universe is the perfect movie to demo both the audio and video. Everyone loves the Beatles and the creativity of the visuals is exceptional. Instead of just watching a song or two, everyone winds up hanging for far longer then planned to watch song after song. It did take a few weeks before I finally found the time to actually watch the movie from start to finish, and it was surprisingly good. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the move never seemed to have gotten the recognition that it deserves. I think only one person who came over had seen or heard of the movie!! Okay, okay the plots can be thin at points, but that is not what the movie is about, its basically a series of exceptional movie videos strung together with weak plot. Put your expectation in the right place and you will not be disappointed. If you are straight the movie is a 9 of 10, if you are under the influence it is a 15. Spread the work, this movie deserves much more recognition.
