I watched the Heavy Metal Movies.
The first one is just about some evil orb intending to kill off a little girl who was supposedly the only one who could defeat it. Rather than do this right away he shows her all stuff he was responsible for before somehow her future self still kills him. There isn't really a whole lot going on and they showed naked chicks every chance they could get. It's a bit disturbing to go from an innocent little girl to showing her full blown naked and putting on the skimpiest battle gear I've ever seen in my life. IT'S NO WONDER SHE'S SLASHED UP AND BLOODIED IN THE FINAL FIGHT. Also, to make sure she stays as nothing but eye candy, she doesn't speak once when shown as an adult. Giving women a personality isn't sexy.
The rotoscoping could be pretty impressive for some shots but mostly looks really bad and dated to today's standards. Some parts look like real effort was put into the visuals so I guess I can kind of appreciate that? However, it's really laughable about how sluggish the combat is. I got pretty bored and didn't watch the whole thing in one sitting.
The second one saw an improvement in animation and toned down the nudity a bit. The story follows a woman wanting to get revenge on this dude who killed nearly everyone on her planet and kidnapped her sister. He's intending to make himself immortal.
Story falls flat again, the "humor" doesn't hit its mark even once, but at least combat is a little better except of course the main female gets put in a sexy outfit again. Also, the CGI at the end is so freaking bad I was laughing.
Give these movies a miss. You're not missing a thing.
