Reviews for "Across The Universe"

Great, but leaves wanting for more....

First off, great job, your skills as a director and animator are undeniable. By any chance, were some of your ideas inspired by the movie "Waking Life"? The bit about the character floating through the roof especially reminds me of named movie. Anyway, it gets very abstract and gorgeous, but did you really have to end it with a suicide? Come on, this idea has been done over and over a million times. Your character goes on a deep journey through his mind, but alas, it won't matter, it won't be of any good to anyone else because he is dead! The previous reviewer said quote "all the emo/goth kids will cry themselves to sleep tonight pretending this is about them". I want to believe you did this movie to inspire your audience to live, not cop out and die famelessly and uselessly. Still, I voted 5 to commend you on the quality and style of your film. You're a great Flash creator, keep up the good work, Indie does seem to be your thing. If you'd like to, I got some scripts done that someone like you would do a gorgeous Indie or Noir film of. At least those aren't about suicide but still are about prevailing sadness which you portrayed so well. Anyway, I applaude you, but still expect something even better next time.

What?!

Some people are far too critical of art... I'm not sure of what spidermonkkey ways getting at because this is a fine example of animation and a wonderful message that despite his best wishes has not been used THAT much... the music truly makes this movie, the beatles was a nice touch. I love the animation based on shapes and contrast instead of line and it did'nt even have to entirely rely on frame by frame either... all in all, a wonderful message and a equally whimsical peice of art... keep up the great work...

WTF man. I'm not criticising your skills at flash, they'r obviously good. What pisses me off are the oh-so cliche suicide guy/girl kills themself has fucked up dream movies. This is a mastabatory indy formulative hack film school cop-out. If you had left it all surreal and everything and have the guy just wake up or some shit, it would have been fine, but you had to ruin it by making it about suicide to make people think you're smart and edgy or to feign some false deepness. To keep things fair I didn't vote on this... all the emo/goth kids will cry themselves to sleep tonight pretending this movie is about them. Is that what you want?

Amazing.

Truly Amazing...I loved it. I love watching dramatic flashes like this...most of them are very well drawn/animated too. Example, this one. Great job!!

beautiful!!,

Really deep man, really deep

...thats all i can say
