Across the Universe movie review

So I saw Across The Universe this saturday. It's a movie based on the lyrics of Beatles music, mainly from The White Album and Revolver. The movie was wonderful. Great musical pieces, and having the lyrics be the dialouge in the film was powerful. A lot of the events in the movie are based on real events and people. From Bono playing Ken Kesey to the character Sadie playing a Janice Joplin type. The visual fx were on par and sometimes above expectation. My only beef with the movie is that the didn't do Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in the film. The used the song in the credits. I'm not sure if they ran out of money or why they did that. But overall I'll give the movie 4 3/4 stars.
