Heavy Metal
As long as there is a need for adolescent male sexual fantasy, there will be an audience for Heavy Metal. Released in 1981 and based on stories from the graphic magazine of the same name (possibly the greatest publication to simultaneously provoke imagination and masturbation), the film has since become the most popular single title in Columbia/TriStar's entire film library. That's an amazing fact considering just how silly and senseless the movie really is--an aimless, juvenile amalgam of disjointed stories and clashing visual styles, employing hundreds of animators from around the world with a near-total absence of creative cohesion. It remains, for better and worse, a midnight-movie favorite for the stoner crowd--a movie best enjoyed by randy adolescents or near-adults in an altered state of consciousness. With a framing story about a glowing green orb claiming to be the embodiment of all evil, the film shuttles through eight episodic tales of sci-fi adventure, each fueled by some of the most wretched rock music to emerge from the 1980s. The most consistent trademark is an abundance of blood-splattering violence and wet-dream sex, the latter involving a succession of huge-breasted babes who shed their clothes at the drop of a G-string. It's all quite fun in its rampantly brainless desire to fuel the young male libido, and for all its incoherence Heavy Metal remains impressive for the ambitious artistry of its individual segments. Courtesy of producer Ivan Reitman (who'd just scored a hit with Stripes), voice talents include several Canadian veterans of Second City comedy, including John Candy, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy, and Joe Flaherty. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.com

Instead of cartoon vignettes that chronicle adolescent fantasies of sex and drugs in the near future, this sequel to 1981's Heavy Metal follows but one story. On a distant planet, a fountain of eternal life has been locked away by a race of supposedly wise people, who have buried the only key deep in space. If found, the key will give directions to the planet, but will also drive the finder crazy--which is exactly what happens. On his way to the planet of youth, Tyler (voice of venerable character actor Michael Ironside) wipes out most of a space colony and kidnaps a sexy woman. His big mistake is that he doesn't kill the woman's sister, Julie (voice of B-movie actress Julie Strain), who then sets out on a mission of rescue and revenge. Created with an uneasy blend of computer and traditional cel animation, Heavy Metal 2000 is utterly predictable. Even the sex scenes are bland and politically correct, eschewing the joy of dirty sex in favor of glimpses of T&A and lots of violence and gore. Of course, one big reason for this movie is to supplement its heavy metal soundtrack, which includes Pantera, Monster Magnet, MDFMK, Insane Clown Posse, Billy Idol, and others. It's probably better to think of it more as a string of music videos than as a story. --Andy Spletzer

Heavy Metal 2000.......2007-05-12

DVD was in perfect condition, no skips and was received quickly!!
great item and great seller

no fun at all.......2006-09-07

Loosely connected to the first HM of '81, this sequel has a single tale of lust and immortality in place of the anthology of the older movie. While mining an asteroid, one of the miners finds a crystal shard - the key to a fountain of immortality. The fountain itself is on another planet thousands of light years away. Unfortunately, the miner is played (okay, "voiced") by Michael Ironside and, faster than you can say "Oh No, General Katana is approaching!!" the key consumes the miner's soul and sends him off on a quest of conquest to find the well. First off, he must ravage a remote planet whose few human inhabitants contain traces of an element that staves off death. While successfully carting away most of the population of this distant planet, he misses Julie - a six-foot hottie with a big gun and a bottomless reservoir of rage. The two battle across the galaxy - first to satisfy her thirst for revenge, but then for the sake of immortality itself.

Even having been warned, this flick is still a big disappointment. The first movie was guilty fun - catering and yet lampooning the rock-fan in each of us. The animation was crude, yet in a charming way that today's assembly-line animation or CGI will never know. (Imagine a story built on all those way-out 1970's album covers, and you get the idea.) With animation reflecting an era that predated Japanimation, "Heavy Metal" grew better with age - a time capsule of bad music and laughably bad humor. The new movie offers none of that - no memorable lines, images or characters. Though patterned largely on "Taarna, the Terakien" from the first movie, HM2 has none of the spirit or wit of the earlier story, and Julie emotes less character (which is bad when you remember that Taarna was mute). In short, the movie offers less than a fraction of the entertainment value of a single episode of "Heavy Metal" the magazine.

Better than expected, considering.......2006-06-19

Better than expected, after reading the some of the reviews and re-watching its predecessor. Gone is the Ralph Bakshi-esque rotoscoping and the mixed quality vignettes; in come the digital modelling/FX, smoother animation and movie-length revenge plot. Basically this is the type of thing that you might see on "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network, which itself is kinda like HM (the magazine) at times.

As for the soundtrack, I'd consider it a bunch of modern but otherwise forgettable bludgeon-metal tracks that work as combat-sequence fodder but otherwise feel out of place (as with the first film.) Not a great movie, but decent.

See this movie at lest once.......2006-06-10

...to see just how bad it is. Unlike it's predecessor Heavy Metal 2k has one single 90 minute story arch talking place in the far future, using both hand drawn animation and very bad CGI, bad even for 2000. The basic plot is that a miner named Tyler (Michael Ironsides) stumbles across a green glowing crystal that is a literal key to the fountain of youth. The only draw back is that the moment he touches it Tyler goes completely bonkers and starts killing a lot of people.

The "Key" draws Tyler to a settlement called Eden, full of people who haves traces of the life giving compound in them, giving them a healthy good looking looks, Tyler probtly kills half of the population and kidnaps the rest, a lone survivor of the raid Julie (Julie Strian) begins a blind quest of revenge.

Everything that could be bad in any given movie is bad in HM2K, the dialog is terrible, both written and performed, the camera work is terrible, there's no back story to speak of, tere are loop holes that even a baby can see, not even a connection to the first firm with the Loc-Nar, which the key is suppose to be a shard from, except that it's green. Also there are not special features on this DVD!!!!!

I don't mind the violence or the nudity, in fact I want to see more of that in western animation, but this movie is just as forgettable as any other movie that Julie Strian stars in.

Rock you like a Hurricane, just like Katrina in New Orleans.......2005-09-13

It's better than I expected, I thought of this animation movie following the cult hit of the same name of 1981. Julie Strain is the muse that has inspired the animators for creating the heroine of this movie (and any film with Julie in it, even as a cartoon clone, is worth all your time, trust me). The story is nothing particular, but it's fun to watch. There is also a good heavy metal score that prevades the movie. Beware: it's bloody, politically uncorrect and with a few nude scenes.

Fantastic.......2005-07-04

The film is a fantastic production made almost 20 years ago.
The lack of technology let their creative side appears.

One classic, one NOT!.......2004-02-26

I'll give you a measure of how forgettable one of these films was- I bought the new release of the original Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal 2000 at the same time. I found myself remembering almost every scene in the original movie, even though I hadn't seen it in over 20 years. Then I watched HM2000. About halfway through I vaguely recalled that I had seen it before, but there wasn't one single scene that I clearly remembered- and I probably only saw it about three years ago. It was that forgettable, that ordinary.

Don't get me wrong; this isn't necessarily a bad film. The animation is very well done, very slick and seamless. The writing and voice acting is competent and professional. The sound track is certainly better incorporated into the animation and story than it was in the original. Everything was competently done, it was just.... ordinary. Nothing jumped out at you. It was like a Saturday morning cartoon episode- just with a little more violence, and a lot more animated nudity (animated nudity- I mean what's the point?)

Personally, I'd save my money and buy the new release of the original Heavy Metal- alone. Sure, the animation looks crude by today's standards- but it was done the old, time-consuming, expensive way of drawing one cell at a time. The original was also crammed full of a variety of different animation styles and story lines. Perhaps that was because it was the first big budget science fiction animated feature and the people involved had so much enthusiasm that they tried to do too much. In contrast, I don't think anyone got too enthusiastic about this film. Sure, they did a solid job of craftsmanship, but where is the originality, the fire, the spirit? Kind of reminds me of the original Heavy Metal magazine, it started out fresh and new and just slowly petered out to nothing....

VERY GOOD MOVIE.......2002-06-19

I MUST SAY I WAS VERY PLEASANTY SURPRISED BY THIS MOVIE IT WAS VERY INTENSE FOR ADULT ANIMATION.

HM2K Is Not Worth Your Attention.......2001-05-26

I began buying HEAVY METAL magazine when it was first introduced in our country (it is based on the French magazine METAL HURLANT), and when I saw the first HEAVY METAL movie in its theatrical release, I considered it a pretty good representation of the magazine--funny, bizarre, sexy in a playful way, and open to various types of artistic interpretation. The DVD of HEAVY METAL appeals to me because it preserves the characteristics that made those early years of the magazine special.

HEAVY METAL 2000, however, is little more than a vanity project for Julie Strain, the wife of the current publisher of HEAVY METAL and one of the producers of the film, Kevin Eastman. One would think that Eastman, who gained fame as one of the creators of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, would present a new HEAVY METAL film that would have the same qualities as the original. But where HM offers violence to illustrate the depth of evil, HM2K focusses on the gore. Where HM offers a forum for various stylistic approaches, HM2K offers jarring combinations of animation techniques. Where HM tantalizes viewers with sexuality, HM2K invites us to leer. HM2K defines "gratuitous" in every scene and, in doing so, seemingly confirms every dirty stereotype about arrested adolescence in grown-ups who read comics. The only redeemable portion of the HM2K DVD is the bio on Julie Strain--the pure unintended camp of the piece is fascinating. But HM2K as a whole offers a predictable story with voice acting less animated than the standard digital recording on an answering machine. If you're looking for a recent sci-fi movie that captures the knowing, satirical and adventurous spirit of the first HM movie, buy STARSHIP TROOPERS. HM2K did not get theatrical distribution for a reason, folks. Take the hint.

I give this item two stars because the movies are bundled together. HM by itself is worth four stars, and HM2K deserves none.

OK job.......2001-01-22

Heavy metal pulled this one out of having a lower rating. Heavy Metal is a classic and deserves a 5 star rating. Meavy Metal 2000 was only a high tech, better animation, ATTEMPT to equal the original. I was sitting through HM2000 trying to figure out why someone of the caliber of Michael Ironside would do this movie. The action was OK, but in places it seemed to drag on and was too easy for the heroine to catch up to the bad guy. The plot was predictible. The movie did have good action, animation, and computer graphics though.

Product Description

Dream Theater is a band that has refused to compromise their musical vision to meet the changing tides of musical fashion, staying true to their unique blend of chops-intensive metal and thoughtful progressive rock. Their 1999 album Scenes from a Memory was one of their most ambitious efforts to date, a sprawling concept album about a man who is haunted by the spirit of a woman who was murdered 70 years ago. For their 2000 world tour, Dream Theater played the Scenes from a Memory album in its entirety each night, and Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York blends footage of the band's August 30, 2000, concert at New York's Roseland Ballroom with montages and staged footage that help bring the album's story to visual life. In a move typical of the band's desire to maintain strict control over their own work, the Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York video was directed by the group's drummer , Mike Portnoy. 21 tracks including bonus. ?

Amazon.com

Like many progressive-rock groups from King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Yes to Genesis, Rush, and Queensryche, Dream Theater has followed its own musical and artistic agenda, trends and hipness be damned. That single-mindedness is borne out on Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York, a full-length concert video shot at Roseland Ballroom in New York City in August 2000; it was the final show on the group's tour supporting its release Scenes from a Memory. With its intricate rhythms and complex song structures, Dream Theater's music is serious and somber to a fault; when gospel singer Theresa Thomason and a backing chorus are brought on for a few numbers, the effect is strangely soothing, as if a layer of humanity smothers the impeccable craftsmanship. The video is decked out in visuals of a mostly silly sort, often literally spelling out the album's narrative (or what passes for it), including reenactments and a portentous narrator. It's all cleverly put together (drummer Mike Portnoy gets director credit), and Kevin Shirley's audio mixing presents the music with clarity and undeniable power. Fans of Dream Theater won't need to be told to snap this up; those unconvinced, however, are not likely to become converts. --Kevin Filipski

Pure progressive rock performance........2007-01-03

Really liked this dvd a lot, specially watching my favorite Dream Theater album being played live. Sound quality is good, image quality is good, I already knew the plot of the album so it bothered me having to watch those alternating scenes from the movie instead of the band, but I recognize that it really complements the show for those who don't know what the album's about.
The end of Finally Free, where Mike Portnoy almost pops his heart out... I hated not having a decent camera focusing on that.
Anyway, completely satisfied with it.

Great band, great concert, TERRIBLE DVD.......2006-12-05

First, I have to sayI love Dream Theater, but this DVD is a wreck. Want some explanations? Here they are:
- The visual effects are so cheesy and annoying that I don't wanna watch the DVD at all. Who ever the video editor is, he needs to be slapped for doing such a bad job for a big band. All the flashing images, scrolling lyrics, b&w low res background video, color whirling, screen-splitting make me feel like I'm watching some videos made by some idiotic noob on youtube. Once again, whoever the video editor is, he needs to be fired.
- Where is 5.1 sound? Where is DTS? o_O Come on people, this is Dream Theater, not the Beatles in the '70, give the audience some good sound. Whoever the sound editor is, this idiot should be slapped and fired with the video editor.
- Fullscreen video. What? Full screen video?? You gotta be kidding me, it's fullscreen! Grrrr...

All right, that's quite enough for the bad's, now here's the good's
- Hair! They all had long hair in this DVD, I love it!!
- The new guy Jordan Rudess is incredible!
- Great music, great skills from every member of the band.

That's it. I'm out.

Classic live performance in support of classic album 2000..........2006-09-18

I remember buying this DVD in early 2002. It seemed to take forever to be releaed and when it was there was something wrong with the audio (I think) which meant it had to be returned and wait for the remastered version to come out. I remember thinking at the time Mike Portnoy handled all this very well, very up front about what had happened, plenty of information on the web site etc. The wait was well worth it though. Over 2 and a half hours of great material plus the audio commentary, documentary and some great photos. Also we get to see the amazing Jordan Rudess on keyboards - with hair!

For me "Live Scenes from New York" is Dream Theater's equivalent of Rush's "Exit Stage Left" (1981). It is a the band at their most confident with an album ("Scenes") which like Rush ("Moving Pictures") they were just so proud of. The confidence shown on both these bands DVD's is just so high - at the top of their game.

The sound is in PCM Stereo (there no 5.1 or DTS option) and for me it sounds fantastic.

James LaBrie gives a great performance on vocals (have to admit though his best live vocal performance is on "Score" (2006). John Petrucci is stunning on guitar (it's a close call between his performance here and that displayed on the stunning riffamania shown on "Live @ Budokhan" (2004). John Myung is awesome on Bass (as he always is - also check out his work on Score, stunning). Jordan Rudess really shines on this set, he really is in full flite. (His performance on "Budokhan" is also top notch and on "Score", well let's just say I'd say the Orchestra would have appreciated his keyboard work, it's is almost unearthly - the "Rick Wakeman / Keith Emerson" of current times, unbelievably good. And last but not least, Mike Portnoy who gives a fantastically energetic performance on drums. This was actually a 3 hour show (more material can be found on the on the corresponding 3 disc CD set including "Metropolis I" and "Another Day" from "Images and Words" (1992) and "The Mirror" From Awake (1994), and Mike never lets up. Along with Chester Thompson (Genesis) and Neil Peart (Rush) Mike is in my top three drummers and his display here is awesome. (Also check out "The test that stumped them all" on "Budokhan" or "Score" - awesome performance).

Whilst a reduced track listing compared to the CD set, as with Rush's Exit Stage left there is heaps of material to chose from and it's all top notch. We get the whole of "Scenes from a memory" complete with Choir for the "Sprit carries on" section (this section is totally over the top, exceeded all my expectations - fantastic job) plus the whole of "A mind besides itself" ("Erotomania / Voices / Silent Man") from "Awake" (1994), "Learning to live" from Images and Words (1992) and the whole of "Change of Seasons" from 1995.

It's really a great show, one of those that you can just feel and see the confidence oozing out of every note / beat / riff.
I can't speak highly enough of this show. If you do decide to get this one I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 10 out of 10.

The greatest album of all time....LIVE!.......2006-06-18

If your a fan of progressive rock, you probably already know how good this CD is. In my mind it is the single greatest CD of all time (followed closely by Operation Mindcrime, any of the great Pink Floyd and Rush records)

My only complaint on this DVD, is the sound. I was at this show and the sound at the theater was great. Somewhere, it didn't transfer to the recording. It is not the worst thing I have ever heard, but it doesn't show the bands power live.

Every other aspect of this DVD is well worth the price. I would not want to be with out it.

The album was amazing the dvd runs out of adjectives.......2006-05-29

The album was probably one of the best musical pieces ever and everything I do in music today is influenced in some way by that album, the way they wrote it as a musical play is just amazing. However the DVD just blows everything else that's out there! The way they play on this album, their smoothness and the setup of the show are just unbelievable. The image quality is very good, the sound is near perfect. Something I thought was very good was the little film transitions during the songs, they really help you get into the atmosphere of this great storyline. Even though they weren't extrememly well acted, they were an enjoyable bonus.
The 2nd DVD has a very nice picture gallery where you more of Portnoy's butt than actual pictures, just kidding!
The 5 extra live songs are as well recorded as the main DVD and they are truly well played, mostly "A change of seasons" which is to me their best song to this date.
The behind the scenes documentary is nice and gives nice info on the band out of shows.
Overall this a wonderful DVD that will keep you watching for a very long time, and after it's over, you will want more!

Alan Davey's Bedouin - 'Sonic Rock Solstice 2002' (MVD).......2007-07-02

When I spotted this DVD for such a fantastic low-used price, I knew I had to 'seize the moment' and snatch it right up. Sure glad that I did. Very much reminds me of the Hawkwind's recent 'Out Of The Shadows, In Concert, 2002' DVD, also out on the MVD label (see my review). Besides the 65 minute / nine track live Bedouin concert, this DVD also features clip performances from other space rock greats like Mr. Quimby's Beard and their refreshing play of "Lest We Forget", Spacehead's "Frye Dragon" and "Dark Star" as well as Harvey Bainbridge's stellar one-man show, with "Acid House Of Dreams" and Hawkwind's "Free Fall". Plus a few other bands that I'm seeing for the first time: Doghouse, Stereovaccine and Gun Law. As for Bedouin's set, simply couldn't get enough of their heavy opener "As Above So Below", "Dagger Dance", "Chasing The Dragon" and the several Hawktunes they play, like "Elric The Enchanter", "Wings" and "Coded Languages". Great sound and picture quality to be seen here, as with pretty much all Music Video Distriutors DVD releases. So recommended, it almost hurts.
