![Metallica - Through the Never [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816jgX5NtZL.jpg)

METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER is a groundbreaking and universally praised by critics music-driven motion picture event. The film combines a spectacular concert performance by Metallica created exclusively for the film and a suspenseful narrative to produce a bracing, raw and visceral cinematic experience. Emerging young star Dane DeHaan (A PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 & 3) portrays Trip, a young roadie sent on an urgent mission that turns into a surreal adventure, while Metallica performs it's most iconic songs during a roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena. METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER features the most elaborate live-performance stage ever built and was filmed with state-of-the-art 3-D photography captured using up to 24 cameras simultaneously along with ground-breaking audio. The film is written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Nimrod Antal. Review: great if you are a fan of the band - I think it is beyond a stretch to say if you are not a fan of Metallica that you still love this. That is silly. It is 90% concert. The production value of the concert is without peer. So many cameras and so many views . . . and outside of the up high shots, you never see camera men running around. The songs played . . . of course it depends on your tastes. The 'movie' part. It is very well done and has cool/creepy scenes in an empty city. The plot is light, which should be expected, but is done very well. The main character basically never says anything, but he plays the part well. I found the 'failing' stage stuff lame to be honest. But it did make a cool final in concert song with them all near each other. But I would have left out this story line. Them playing Orion during the credits while sitting in an empty arena is worth the rental price alone. The opening scene of Robert warming up in a bass room was completely dumb . . . really wish that was taken out. Review: Awesome Movie in IMAX! - 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!!!!!!!!!!

Five stars --- Buyer Beware!!!!!! --- Five stars
I read the 1 star reviews because I was curious how someone could rent/buy a Metallica DVD and be disappointed. I actually understand after reading the comments why a big percent of the 1-star customers were upset. The cover does look menacing and coupled with the previews it is a bit misleading if you are expecting an awesome movie experience. I went in with a very open mind and little if any expectation. It was truly out of curiosity that I made the purchase at all. As a long time fan of the early days of Metallica I wanted to see what they were like now. The last live show was on their "Justice" tour. I was not very impressed with a lot of their stuff after that. I thought they were a little too mainstream and figured they lost some of that fire they had before money and the world softened them. The movie is really just a concert from 2013 and they have mixed in a future/primitive/apocalyptic themed story line. Not really much of a movie as a stand alone film. I have to believe it was just an attempt to add imagery to the show, to keep a distracted attention deficit generation involved. It worked for me, lol... I give the "Movie" 2 stars and the show a solid 5. The song-list includes all my favorites and the stage and show is unbelievable. I would love to see this concert live. METALLICA showed me they still have that fire and it still burns bright. Thanks for an incredible experience. BTW, I bought the HD DVD so Lars won't have the Feds break down my door, and because this song list is great.

Amazing!!! Awesome!!!
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*

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 !!!!!!!!!!

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..
