"Across The Universe is different, edgy, fun, and a musical. What's not to love?"

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2008)

Although I did not grow up in the era of the Beatles, I have to say that I did grow up with some of their music. My uncle who lived with my mom and I up until I was 13 would play their CD's and old records whenever he had the chance.
I've seen a lot of complaints about this movie from people that grew up with the original Beatles and I have to say that I completely disagree. While the original's were rather good, the way that this particular movie captured the essence of the Beatles and that particular era was rather amazing.
Across The Universe is different, edgy, fun, and a musical. What's not to love? The entire storyline was brilliant and although I can't go through every movie ever made, I have to say that the way the film was brought to life was entirely different than anything I, personally have ever seen or heard of. Making a movie with most characters being based on names in popular Beatles songs was just unique and that made this movie refreshing.
While the majority of films created in 2008 have been lacking in something, Across The Universe went above and beyond to produce something both unique and amazing.
All in all this movie gets a 10 out of 10 star rating. And if the scores went any higher, it would get that too.
