Taken from the offical website Across The Universe - Official Site:

A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock 'n' roll, moving from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude and Lucy, along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with Dr. Robert and Mr. Kite as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy--against all odds--to find their own way back to each other.

So this movie looks sweet. It's a musical, which, for those musical lovers, is a fresh breath of air from all the talk of High School Music. I'm hoping this is going to be a good one.

Something I am dissatisfied with is that for a movie coming out under the Apple lable, all the Beatles songs are covers. So you'd figure they purposely chose the new works, which seems a bit crazy to me. And the movie is only playing in select areas around the country, so you might not even be able to see it until it hits DVD or Blueray.

But regardless of that is looks like a good, cute movie to bring your gal, or drag along your guy, with you.

So, opinions anyone?
