Reviews

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
framptonhollis The Beatles star (and sing) in this endlessly watchable and extremely bizarre odyssey through time, space, and music. Filled with wit and humor, this is among the most feel good films I have ever seen, and it is also among the very finest. While watching it, I could not believe how utterly enjoyable and exciting such a viewing experience is. this is a film like few others, this is a film that transports the viewer to a new world, entirely different from our own. Its atmosphere is one of positivity, but that positivity does not get in the way of the possibilities of conflict and melancholy.The weird, almost boundless voyage one takes while experiencing "Yellow Submarine" is one matched by few other films (Lynch, Svankmajer and Jodorowsky come to mind as filmmakers who can reach this film's level of surrealist mastery). This is one of the trippiest and most boundless works of all animation as it grabs a hold of its viewer, shoving an everlasting series of visually stunning imagery, masterful music, and lighthearted comedy. By the end of the film, most viewers will be left not only entertained and amused, but also inspired. this is a classic example of a "love conquers all"-type film, and it is constructed brilliantly. It is not a preachy movie, but a positive one. The message is one of universal worth and is conveyed in the most likable, comical, surreal, and utterly insane(ly entertaining) way possible!
Hitchcoc This could have been poorly done had it not been for a sense of quality that seemed to be a part of the Beatles and their people. This is the wonderful story of society that develops over time and come under threat. But it is not the usual "save the world" kind of thing but rather the creation of a world like we've never seen. There is a surreal being to it. It is colorful and engaging. Of course, what is most impressive is the integration of Beatles music into the plot. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a great example of psychedelic visuals. But overall, it is a movie that never bores. Its images are striking and there is an array of the most wonderful characters.
Cheshire Cat Until now, this is the best film which I have ever seen. It contains almost everything that interests me: friendship, humour, science, the world, and peace. It maybe looks like Alice in Wonderland, yet certainly goes deeper in your heart. Perhaps it is the function of music. Although I am not a fan of The Beetles, I am quite impressed by the songs in this film. Unlike other films that talk about perceptions, this one doesn't make your head burst with gloomy thoughts after watching it; instead, the little jokes in it make it a pleasant thing to think, just like many other British films. I feel I am in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies now.
bigverybadtom I saw this movie on TV as a child. It actually wasn't that much weirder than many other cartoons from that era.Later in life, I would see "Help!" and "A Hard Day's Night", the live-action Beatles movies. Both were romps with interruptions for scenes where the Beatles would perform their various songs. None of them were deeply meaningful-or purported to be. They were like extended versions of "The Monkees" television shows.So what makes "Yellow Submarine" different? Mainly, the animation and the fantasy elements and pictures that could not be placed in their live-action movies. They appear in the flesh briefly in the end, and one of them comments, "That was a nice little party." I'm certainly nobody intended for this to be anything else.
