Heavy Metal
The embodiment of ultimate evil, a glowing orb terrorizes a young girl with bizarre stories of dark fantasy, eroticism and horror.
Critics Sentiment
WWII B-17 bomber becomes infested with living dead zombies
Captain Sternn put on trial with witness transforming into monster
Sharp drop from the acclaimed B-17 zombie bomber sequence to the widely disliked Captain Sternn courtroom segment
Heavy Metal divides critics between those who embrace its cult status and juvenile excess versus those who find it sophomoric and poorly executed. The anthology format creates uneven quality, with Harry Canyon, Den, and the B-17 bomber earning consistent praise while Captain Sternn disappoints most viewers. Despite criticisms of sexism and crude animation, many reviewers acknowledge its unique vision and lasting influence on adult animation.
