Director Julie Taymor takes us on a meandering journey from Liverpool to New York City where an unlikely couple falls in love. But really it’s just an excuse to string together some modern intepretations of songs from The Beatles, now in high definition 1080p video with Dolby TrueHD audio.
The Simpsons finally make it to the big screen, and now, ultimately, back to the small screen in full HD 1080p resolution with DTS-HD Master Audio Sound. Was it worth the wait?
