VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

endofmyrope-00602 Heavy Metal stands the test of time, it's still the fantastic SF flcik it was when I was 9 or 10. Simply put, it is one of the best animated films of all time, and of course it boasts an all star soundtrack as well. Enjoy it, no matter your age.

bheadher I can't imagine why this got so many low, mediocre reviews...Heavy Metal is the definitive cult classic, showcasing the sexual revolution. the animation is intentionally crude, having a nice group of scantily clad or nude women popping up all through it. If you are a healthy male, of any age, you'll love it for that alone...But if your also a fairly balanced individual, and I include women here too, you'll enjoy the weird stories woven into the movie...heck, I expect there are many women that will be aroused by the sexually suggestive aspects of the film...Did I mention this is an early animated film ?? Sure the animation is right out of a porn store comic book, and that was intentional I believe. It is supposed to arouse you both physically and emotionally...I, for one, adore it...and I'm 69 now...

Neil Welch A glowing orb called the Loc-nar proves to be the linking device for an anthology of science fiction tales.This film, seeded by the magazine Heavy Metal, is very much an animated movie for adults - there is a moderate amount of nudity and sex in it. Old school comics enthusiasts will recognise some of the names whose pieces live behind the 6 pieces (and linking sequence) here - Richard Corben and Bernie Wrightson, to name but two.It's well worth a look if you know your interests lie in that direction, albeit it isn't 100% successful - for one thing, you can have too much of a good thing. Having said that, it's not the sort of film that gets made very often, so we should value the fact that it exists at all.

utgard14 Animated anthology about a glowing green orb called the Loc-Nar, which is apparently pretty bad stuff. All of the stories tie back into the orb somehow. The best stories were: "Harry Canyon" about a cabbie in futuristic New York who becomes involved with a sexy woman on the run from bad guys, "Den" about a nerdy teenager who is transformed into a muscular hero, and "Taarna" about a silver-haired big-breasted beautiful savior out to save her planet from an army of zombies. The rest of the stories are all okay, although I liked "Captain Sternn" the least. That's about a guy named Captain Sternn put on trial for his crimes where one of the witnesses turns into a monster. Anyway, they're all watchable. Some of them were adapted from stories from Heavy Metal magazine. The animation is crude at times but there's certainly a lot of imagination put into it. The story doesn't always make a lot of sense either but it's still very interesting and fun. The music is great. It's obviously for adults, not kids. It's good if you enjoy fantasy stuff and can manage to not take it all so seriously.
