Review of Heavy Metal (1981) by Ben H — 12 Apr 2011
This movie is bad. Seriously, it's really not that good at all. The animation hasn't aged very well, the voice acting ranges from good to terrible, and the plot is about as existent as the clothing on females in this film (and if you look at the poster, that should give you an idea of how thin that really is).
So why give it even 3 stars then? Simple, the soundtrack. Seriously, the soundtrack saves this movie and gives it a pop art/music video vibe that almost makes sense. With Sammy Hagar, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabaath and Dio, Grand Funk Railroad, Devo, and more.
One other benefit of watching this film is that watching the 1997 film "The Fifth Element" becomes a lot more interesting, considering that its practically a live-action adaptation of this film.
Watch this, but only once.
