This movie is not great. Neither is it awful. It is uneven, a musical romance which occasionally lags. It sometimes hits with its visual messaging accompanied by Beatles tunes (as performed by others) and sometimes misses by quite a lot. If you're a Beatles fan and have time to spare, AND if you don't have to pay to watch it, Across the Universe might be worth your time. I can't imagine anyone, however devoted, who won't occasionally be bored from time to time by this movie, but admittedly, some of the imagery will stay with me for a while.
