If you loved Beowulf & Grendel, try Heavy Metal 2000
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Adventure / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Beowulf & Grendel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Heavy Metal 2000 is
You’re a space miner who finds a glowing shard of the Loc-Nar and feel it curl through your veins. The artifact promises strength it refuses to share and soon you’re carving a bloody path to the planet of youth. On your way you grab a prisoner but leave her sister behind, a mistake that dooms you both. Animation’s neon edges can’t soften the chase that follows.
