It's really a rather out-of-the-world film and only my tolerant gfs are willing to be dragged to watch it. I confess that some parts are simply too arty to be comprehensible (a personal opinion of course). The movie appears to me to be a hybrid of the MTV style Romeo and Juliet and the whimsical, shifting collage scenes found in Love Me If You Dare.The most interesting parts were not the bizarre dance sequences but how the scriptwriters managed to weave all the Beatles' songs into the plot (I didn't expect a musical.) Unfortunately, I only recognised two songs: I wanna hold your hands and Hey Jude. It would have been more enjoyable if I knew the songs.
The storyline is surprisingly mundane - a love story (yes yes, I was attracted to the love story and the R&J like poster) set amidst a war in the 60s. I like how they managed to re-create the Liverpool dockyards of the 60s, the hippies/rock and roll culture of the Lower East Side and the preppy American ivy leagues in the 60s. Superb!
Not that I'm a film snob but indie movies (enjoyable or not) are really more memorable than many mainstream productions.

FYI, Aliens v Predator 2 was not trashy. It was thought-provoking. It is the best movie EVER!
Everyone, please watch AVP2 so that the studios would find a sequel profitable to make.
