Better movie than the overall score implies

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2020)

Fans of the Beatles and of science fiction probably rate this higher than those who are neither. Being both, I hoped for a little more development of the parallel time aspect (See Back to the Future II, which Carl Sagan rated as the best movie about the aspects of time travel ever. **someone goes back in time and changes something that alters the course of events, creating an alternate parallel time**.) Lily James' character was a bit more girl-next-door than was absolutely necessary, but she is a joy to watch in that role, nonetheless. Otherwise the Beatles music is very well presented--a couple songs were better than the original versions, IMO. The IMDB score as of this writing is 6.9, but this is a way better movie than that. Well worth the price of rental!
