Rating: - Still a great film!
I thought this film would be way out-dated when I first picked it up, but even in the year 2008 I still consider this to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is incredibly imaginative and must have been pretty ground-breaking at the time having combined animation with a level of gore, nudity and an adult-target audience which previously hadn't been seen with animated films. The plot of the movie is hard to explain because it jumps around between seemingly completely different stories, but the underlying theme is a powerful green orb is which is present in each of the stories (sounds stupid I know). Quite simply one of the best movies I have ever seen. Also, this seems like a great movie to see stoned if you're into that.
Rating: - AWSOME!!!
Classic movie that I absolutely love and have since first saw it when I was younger. The PSP takes nothing from the movie in my opinion. The first time I owned this movie was good ole' VHS Movie Cassette, but I am very pleased to have found a mobile copy that I can now take with me on trips.
Rating: - Heavy Metal UMD
I saw Heavy Metal when I was in high school way back in the day. It hasn't changed, its still funny and imaginative. I didn't remember all of the cartoon nudity, but I'll be OK. The PSP really does a good job with these movies. When I bought the PSP it was mainly for the games, but as I start to watch movies on it, I realize that I was missing out.
Rating: - A Classic Film
This film is a liberating experience in storytelling. I can't recommend it highly enough to a mature audience.
Once of the things that keeps drawing me back is the sweeping symphonic soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein. It's absolutely brilliant, and you notice it mostly during the Den and Taarna stories. This soundtrack has recently been re-released.
I did notice one negative of the remastering process; in the bootleg copies of the late 80s and early 90s there were several sounds present that did not show up in the DVD release (for example, the skeleton with no jaw that used to make a gurgling sound but no longer does). These are minor but still noticeable.
Small details worthy of scrutiny drive the continued admiration for the film. Some of the animation lacks refinement in certain segments like Den, but is exceptional in Captain Sternn.
Overall, this film is a top notch experience.
