@robocong7420 Sorry it's not your modern Justin Bieber crap. It's actually a classic song that has lasted the test of time for 22 years and counting, and will be remembered for a lot longer than any of this crap that's called music today. If anything is horrific it's your taste in music.

i m 20 years old, but i think this movie is awesome, i remember when i was 4 or 5 , my aunt buyed it, and i watched it with her when she put it on the tv. ..., 10 years after i started listening to thrash metal, and i forgot the name of this movie....today i just got it by chance and it's fun to see that one of the film that "chocked" me the most when i was child is named "Heavy Metal" ( or screaming metal in france (cause i m french)). now i understand, this film is the meaning of metal imo !!

@thenewyorkpauls

Oh yes Time Masters is awesome. Say Thenewyorkpauls do you believe HM Magzine with the film and those 2 Laloux films were some of the various inspirations to the film Avatar? James Cameron is a huge fan of this movie and the magazine plus adult animation and Laloux as there are elements from those sources especially Gandahar and HM Magazine shown. Ever seen Akira? awesome adult animated cult classic

I was 13 when I saw this movie. (It was in 2011!) and I saw one of the best movies ever! great music, great story, every thign was was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really recomend this movie to the entire world!

[thenewyorkpauls]

Great suggestions for LaLoux films like Fantastic Planet & Gandahar, don't forget Time Masters/Masters of Time... another animated sci-fi film with artwork by Mobieus, (who contributed illustrations to Heavy Metal the magazine on occasion), which has a GREAT story with an awesome twist at the end. It was the only animated sci-fi that came close to Heavy Metal for me personally (though I am also a huge LaLoux fan, comparisons aside). Also check out LaLoux's early short "les escargots" on youtube!

@Johnlindsey289 Yep, I saw all those back in the day! Taarna is still my ultimate fantasy girl next to Wonder Woman! Man, these were the days!

@Johnlindsey289 Yes, i saw Vampire Hunter D on video when it first came out and thought it rocked. I was also very glad when HM was finally released on video back in 1996.
