Heavy Metal 2000 description 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Laughable but I didn't stop watching.... |
| I didn't know there was such a thing as b-type cartoons but this one is definitely b-rated. If you know that going in, it's actually quite funny to see bad acting extended to cartoon characters. Lot's of blood and guts in minute sepia tone and of course a gratuitous boob shot (or two, or six) if you're into that.
Basic story: man unearths something he shouldn't have, it transforms him into an evil psycho who wants to control the universe or at least kill everyone in it who isn't compliant. There's also the added perk of living forever. He attacks a friendly planet kidnapping a teacher whose only surviving relative is a warrior woman with attitude and determination of her own. A big mistake he regrets repeatedly until the end. What's good about it? The graphics are pretty good although the body movements are a bit stifled at times. I actually prefer the vibrancy of Titan A. E. If you're into metal music you'll enjoy the tracks too. I have never seen the first movie so I don't have it to compare it to. Now that I've watched this one right through I wouldn't waste my time watching it again. |
