Heavy Metal meets Live Action

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2011)

This movie was very reminiscent of the old Heavy Metal animated movie. Sexy .. powerful music (hated the rap bit though) .. flight of fantasy going two levels deep.
By using techniques developed originally by the Wachowski brothers (Matrix) .. and even further developed today .. lend a fantastic visual journey not seen elsewhere.
In essence .. it was like Heavy Metal brought to live action with amazing Matrix like effects and seamless CGI.
The lengthy start was almost enough for me to turn it off. But once the fantasy within a fantasy began .. I was captivated. The irony of the ending should not escape anyone. And happily .. justice did prevail .. although belatedly .. and not for all.
