Is it good? Is it bad? I guess the answer to that lies squarely with whether or not you grew up with Heavy Metal, or if you’re a thirteen-year-old straight boy. It seemed aimed squarely at the mentality of that particular group – most of the stories devolve into scenes of random violence and sex. Even the female characters with any kind of agency are scantily clad and frequently used as little... read more

Great designs and animation, sexy and tender and gore at the same time (Taarna swimming naked and then clothing in black and red weather is superb); but the relation between stories is weak and confusing. I would've preferred episodes.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1103 movies items)

" As Loc-Nar, a pulsating green orb from deep space, finds its way into the Earth, a multifaceted story of cosmic malice that transcends the strict boundaries of our universe unfolds. No one knows the origin of the floating crystalline sphere; however, all those who have encountered mystical Loc-Nar--men and women across galaxies and dimensions, have fallen prey to the corrosive power of the ancient, green-hued entity. As the tentacles of the parasitic intergalactic force spread across time "

"With the Disneyfication that has swept over the landscape of animated films these days, including those movies that are not under the mouse-earred banner, it's easy to forget that there was a time when the process of animation included experimenting with stories that were geared towards those audiences that were sporting pubic hair in their shorts. Heavy Metal, based on the comic magazine of the same name, was one such experiment. An adult anthology of sci-fi, horror and fantasy mash-ups, it "

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be a really decent watch and the damned thing definitely deserves its cult-classic reputation. First of all, it was so refreshing to see an animated feature targeting the adult audience as the vast majority of the genre is mostly focusing on kids, even very young kids usually. Concerning the animation itself, it was an anthology involving several directors so the quality was varying. Still, I really liked the style(s) used which was again really different than what you get in your usual mainstream animated production. Concerning the stories, it did like the fact that they were all linked somehow to the Loc-Nar which prevented the who” read more
