“Sure, itu0026#39;s not the best animation by todayu0026#39;s standards. However, for when it was made the animation was top notch. It does have a great voice cast and the music is great. I graduated highschool in 1991 with long hair down my back. I went to my senior prom wearing a Motley Crue t-shirt–so nothing more to be said. I think anyone like me must appreciate Heavy Metal at least on some level. I also appreciate it for the art work and the small details. Watching a beatiful warrior godess slowly don her ridiculously sexy red outfit before wielding a sword to gut a bunch of mutants–it couldnu0026#39;t get any better. The movie as a whole, a conglomerate of strangley unrelated yet joined stories, makes this movie a cult classic–as true as they come. Perhaps that is what is lacking in Heavy Metal 2000–truely a sad attempt as a sequel, with no potential of ever being a worthy classic to sit on a shelf next to the original. The FAKK sword is the coolest thing about the movie, besides the Simon Beasley cover art. At least I think thatu0026#39;s Simonu0026#39;s work and not Royou0026#39;s–perhaps someone could confirm that. Okay, but not to stray from the topic of Heavy Metal (1981)—take it for what it is–donu0026#39;t over analyze it. Sit back, have a few laughs, poke fun at it, and at the end I think itu0026#39;s worth the watch.”
