Metallica - Through the Never [Blu-ray]

I saw the movie the last night it was featured in our local IMAX. So glad I did. I watched it a second time in a regular theater. The IMAX was soo much better. Not only the video quality, but the audio in the IMAX far surpassed the audio in the regular theater. I have a decent 55 inch LED TV and a pretty solid Surround system, So I am pretty stoked about getting a copy. I pre-ordered my copy weeks ago. It is a bummer that they decided not to add a just the concert footage option. I liked the movie and all, but I am buying it for the awesome live footage they shot, not for the side story. Metallica lost money on this movie. They went all out to get the best live footage they could and it shows. They have no doubt overdubbed the audio in the studio, but Im happy about it. The audio quality is some of the best I have heard. Really looking forward to hearing it in Hi Def Master Audio!!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame that this movie was at IMax for such a short period of time. I'm glad I was lucky to go see it there. I enjoyed this movie a lot, watched it at the theater twice, and got me the DVD to watch several more times. I like the setlist (well, I could do away with Fuel, as I don't like that song that much), I like the angles captured, I like the scenes mixed in with the concert. Really good. I like the fact they've favored mostly the old songs (like having 3 songs off Ride the Lightning!!). The stage they've built for the movie is just out of this world. "Amazing" doesn't quite say it.

I've never been such a huge fan of Metallica. Because of my dad, I used to hear some of their songs and liked most of them. When the movie came out here on Mexico, we went to see it in IMAX 3D and I was in love with every aspect of the band! The huge amount of effort they put on every single detail of the movie, and noy just the single story in which DeHaan stars, but the entire concepto of the concert and every single detail they developed was awesome!!! Now I now what I've been missing all this years!! I loved it so much, that my dad and I went for a 2 time to watch it!! xD So when i knew they were releasing the blu-ray I knew I had to buy this for my dad so we can watch it over and over any time we want xD Truly amazing!!! truly exciting!! I'll never get tired of watching this!!! *u*

I rarely buy music related merchandise any longer, but knew I'd be getting this after watching in Imax at a theater. Fantastic picture quality on the blu ray release, awesome sound, and a great story backed by Metallica still at their best. Even Lars, who for whatever reason has become the target of haters and trolls on the internet, is in top form in this movie (as are the rest of the band). The bonus features are good, too. If you call yourself a Metallica fan or even a rock music fan in general, you can't go wrong with this movie. I just wish they would have shown what was in the damn box at the end! I hope the band makes another movie at some point.

So, Metallica made a concert movie. It attempted to intertwine a live action story with a show they put on and it's all supposed to culminate in a cool climax. Being fully honest, the "movie" portion of this release was a total miss. The basic story line could have been very cool but, even though it's not the main focus of this release, ended up not being fleshed out enough to truly satisfy the need for a complete story. I feel like it tried to be deep without actually being deep. The action wasn't even good nor was the thriller/suspense portion, again something that with a little dialog and perhaps an extra scene or two of exposition may have helped and changed the vibe completely. I do understand that the exposition/movie portion is not the point of this release but then why both spending $18 million on it? Now, that being said, the concert portion of this release kicks a**, straight MetallicA kicking your a** with each song. The production value is very high and this is a great sounding release. Lars' hihat isn't overpowering like it normally is live so that is a big plus and the sound is clean and tight. These guys played very well and the audio isn't clipped or compressed. The stage show is the ultimate mash up of all their stage shows since the early 80's which is pretty freakin' rad to see as a long time fan. For this alone I recommend this blu-ray. The picture is crisp and looks beautiful. I bought this despite piss poor reviews everywhere I looked and I bought it because I'm a fan. If you're looking for a deep engaging movie you will be sorely disappointed. Musically it's spot on and one of the better recorded shows they've released in a good while. Get it or don't get it, but do know the reviews everywhere are not lying. PS, the 4 stars is because the sound is so good and the songs truly rocked! MetallicA

This version of Metallica's Through the Never is by far the only one that should be out there. Why the US distributor decided to release the US version without Dolby Atmos I will never know. Needless to say this movie in full Atmos is amazing, simply the best sounding Metallica concert movie to date (only from a sound editing and mixing perspective, SnM and Live S*it is cooler concerts sure!) Highly recommend to Metallica fans and audiophiles that would like to hear their home Atmos theater tested with something different from the usual Hollywood mixes. Did not test the 3D effects at all since I only got this for the Audio mix and don't really care for 3D at all.

Nimrod Antal is responsible for directing this production, which integrates the narrative element into the concert. This creates a juxtaposition between a roadie's trip to hell and the show (which setlist consists of Metallica's greatest hits). Probably the genre that best describes the narrative scenes on the street is 'horror'. And although the scenes are close to technical perfection and make good use of the soundtrack, the narrative of the film can be very ambiguous and chaotic, which can be a little frustrating for the viewer. The film has many elements that are open to interpretation, which Metallica says were put there so that the viewer could they have their own interpretation of what the symbols used in the film are trying to say. However, each time the film seems to be about to collapse because of the ambiguity of the plot, the display takes us back to the Metallica concert, where the band continues to rock the audience with palms, yelling and mosh pit. The amazing performance of the American band makes one wonder if there really was a need to put a narrative element of a film when a movie about them just playing may have been just as dramatic. And even though the scenes in which DeHaan appears make use of special effects, I can guarantee that the concert scenes make no use of them.

Metallica; what can I say... these guys are my age, in their 50's and still crankin' out some of the best music to ever grace the planet, aggressive, in-your-face and actually with a deeper meaning beyond just the surface lyrics. All this/these new formulaic, wimpy, pop music/pop stars should learn from these guys, this music was from an era when you actually had to know how to play your instrument/sing (without auto-tune) and have some real talent before you could actually be a bona-fide "star". Nowadays seems all you need is "the look" and some sorry-ass, cash hungry, soulless record company backing you and you can be a "pop-star". God help us -- to what level have we allowed (us as parents) this new generation (our kids) to fall to??? To accept the crap played on the radio nowadays as "good music"??? C'mon, give me a break!!! Heavy Metal (especially thrash metal) rules!!! On the bright side there is some hope, groups like Avenged Sevenfold who continue to "carry the torch" of awesome, melodic, thrash metal. We need many more like these -- with the same level (or more) of musicianship and a hell of alot more airplay. I guess I'll just keep prayin' the music scene will eventually come full circle and that maybe in a few years the airwaves will be full of the kind of "magical" music we used to hear when I was in high school in the late 70's early 80's. I won't hold my breath though...

Le doy cuatro estrellas porque la copia viene solo con subtitulos en alemán e italiano, aunque con verla en V.O. basta. La calidad e sonido y de imagen es increíble, de lo mejor que he visto. Imprescindible para cualquier seguidor de Metallica.

Metallica est vraiment un groupe hors normes !!!!!!!. Il plait, il déplaît, mais à toujours eu un vrai sens artistique, proche du génie Il a le don de nous en mettre plein la vue et les oreilles, à chaque édition sortie !!!!!!!!!! Déjà vu, pleins de films sur des groupes Metal, celui sort du lot, par son histoire pas banal Il est excellent et pour ceux et celles qui ne l' on pas vu, je tairai l' histoire !!!!!!!! Cette édition est complète, le film en 2D/3D, plus deux DVD, pleins de bonus indispensables Le son ( DTS HD MASTER AUDIO ) et l' image, sont à la hauteur du support BD : parfait. Sur grand écran et home cinéma, ça décoiffe grave, on reste tapis au fond du canapé ( surtout en version 3D ). Un packaging SteelBook aurait été le bienvenue pour une sixième étoile. Jetez aussi un oeil au Film " Mission to Lars "............. Ulrich, bien sur !!!!!!!!!!

最高に格好良かった。 でも、この手のコンテンツは映画館で観たいと、つくづく思った。

Excelente calidad audiovisual.

Ich war enttäuscht. Ich habe die Bluray eingelegt und habe kein Wort verstanden , weil der Untertitel auf Spanisch oder so war. Und das War bei der Artikelbeschreibung nicht ersichtlich. Ich finde das nicht o.k..
