One tale that tells the story of an entire generation. The Beatles anthology done in a very different way. A theatre-like musical on the big screen. Engaging, thought provoking, stunning, often breathtaking and heartbreaking (in a non-Hollywood kind of way) movie. All that and much much more is Across the Universe. I enjoyed the movie from start to the end of its colorful credits and it's definitely on my 2007 top5 list.
The only problem I had with the movie is the absence of drugs. They are there all the time but still are absent. It's funny and strange in the first encounter when the guys could blow their fingers off without anything actually held between them and gets pretty seamless as the movie progresses but I still consider it to be a betrayal of the spirit of the movie for PG-13 rating. The movie is a little less true to its message but it definitely didn't spoil it for me and most people won't even notice it.
