Review of Metallica: Through the Never (2013) by Kj P — 22 Dec 2013
Very much different from other concert films from the past, "Metallica: Through the Never," follows a roadie from the band, Trip (Dane Dehaan), who is sent off on a job during the time that the concert is taking place.
Intercutting between his journey and the actual concert footage, this film is a blast to watch, and a very cinematic piece as well. Released in theatres in 3D, that is exactly what this film was all about, because the grand swooping shots above the stage and the well-directed road scenes with Trip really made me feel like all of this was actually happening.
Although the concert actually happened, this is a fictional side plot that adds greatly to the film. It separates itself from many other live concerts I've watched. "Metallica: Through the Never" is probably the best concert film I've ever seen.
