The most impressive aspect is the upscaled footage. How they were able to turn 50+ year old footage and audio into something this crisp and clear is kind blowing. But outside of that this is essential just long unfiltered and unedited footage of the Beatles in real time. Which is fine if you're someone who just wants to watch the Beatles chilling out, doing their thing, recording, and performing for 8 unfiltered hours.
But if you're looking for a documentary film, this is not it. And while I found it interesting, to me it's a bit boring and was expecting something with Peter Jackson's name to have more production to it. It doesn't seem like anything more than a YouTuber could put together with the footage (in a scenario where this high quality upscale already existed) and adobe premiere.
You do learn a lot more about the Beatles as people and to the let it be story, which played out differently than the public presentation (like Yoko was not the singular intrusive person and band reckoning force she was said to be).
And in some ways soured my view of the group, watching their exposed egos and oversensitivity at times wasn't enlightening but just a bit too typical for any mega famous artist. This is almost sycophantic we revere people so much that you can just splice 8 hours of footage with no narrative frame or production and it's celebrated.
