"Reason for the future sucking: New York City has turned into a hell hole, and a giant glowing talking ball of death called the Loc-Nar has turned people into bloody thirsty barbarians Years it takes place: 2031 and unknowish"
" 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 "

"Harry Canyon Crimes committed: Murder, attempted murder, and theft. Captain Lincoln Sterrn Crimes committed: "Lincoln Sternn, you stand here accused of 12 counts of murder in the first degree, 14 counts of armed theft of Federation property, 22 counts of piracy in high space, 18 counts of fraud, 37 counts of rape..." "
"Pros: The music, and the soundtrack. It really truly rocks. The animation, while of its time still holds up even years later. The voice acting. It can go from comedic (the spaceship abduction segment) to terrifying, and action all with very little effort. The linking sequences. Con: Some sequences, work better than others.

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 "
“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.
