I still don’t know what to make of Across the Universe. We’ve had images, teasers, trailers and now a poster (see it below), but what the hell is it about again? The official plot synopsis goes something like this:
“An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time.”
I have no idea what that means. I do know almost everything released from the movie looks damn pretty, and using Beatles music is a nice plus. Check out the movie’s brand new poster in high-res by clicking on the image to your right. If you’re interested in the Across the Universe official site, it’s right here.

I really like the CD Cover a lot more than the poster.. I agree they didn't have to be so literal for the graphics, and also what happened to the website design... ??
I hope the movie is good, I listened to the soundtrack and I really like the mood..
The CD ROCKS. The movie isn't playing near me right now, but i know i'll love it, so i won't waste my time. I'll just buy t when it comes out. but i like the colorful image of them in the water. i'd hang that up in my room!!!
Does anyone know where i can buy a poster of the strawberry graphic on the album cover (or a poster of the album cover) instead of the offical movie poster? i'd LOVE to get it but everywhere seems to be selling the movie poster instead.
thanks, micki
The movie is in fact as incredibly mind blowing as the soundtrack. If you get to see it, DO, because it's the best movie I've seen in a very long time.
It's a GREAT GREAT movie!
it's not about The Beatles at all, its how the beatles songs can be realated to life and love!
if you like musicals,psychedelic movies, and of course THE BEATLES youll love this one!!
