Product Description: Across the Universe from director Julie Taymor is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York s Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono Across the Universe is the kind of movie you watch again like listening to a favorite album.

Customer Reviews
Pleasantly Surprised...
I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I like their music and this movie was recommended from a Pink Floyd board that I visit. I wasn't sure what to expect as I was going into this movie. But I liked the way that they used the Beatles songs. I also liked the cinematography in this movie.
I liked the way that this movie portrayed the 60's. And I was kind of surprised that it didn't show the protesters as being all lily white.
Anyways, good movie.

Absolutely perfect
This DVD is perfect in every way. The story line involves a group of young people in the 1960s with the backdrop of the counterculture movement, along with the protests against the VN war, all to the tunes of the Beatles. There have been so many '60s films -- yet this one is totally fresh. The talent of the performers was amazing, each one simply masterful. The choreography was riviting -- stunning. The scene in the recruitment center reminded me of the Joffrey Ballet's "Green Table." I hate to speak only in hyperbole, but this film is worth it. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Brilliant
This love story is one unique piece of work. Very visual and if you like the Beatles this is a fantastic homage to the best rock and roll band ever. Deserves an Academy Award. The casting was super, story line and editing first rate. There's so much to digest and process, it's a necessity to watch more than once. Very feel good!

Across the Universe is fantastic!
I didn't receive the original product ordered (got lost in the mail), but when I called customer service they were very responsive and apologetic. They got a replacement movie out to me within 2 days! Thanks Amazon! I love this movie and it was great to see it again. The music is superb!
