Title: SUPERBIT VERSION of HEAVY METAL IS NO-FRILLS
Review: HEAVY METAL is not a great film, nor a bad one, it's more like an old hippie friend who lives down the street; some days you couldn't care less, but there are times when you need to be in that "aura." I wouldn't call myself a fan, but saw it opening weekend when it was released, I have had it in three formats, and probably watched in 30 times or so. Each time I find something new.I bought the Superbit version, and while I don't have a HD or plasma screen to notice any major difference in the picture quality, the sound is amazing; it's loud and CLEAR, with a really nice EQ job (and I am using Dolby surround, not DTS). The down side is that there are NO extras, aside from subtitles. I especially miss that pen drawn outtake that was on the videotape and laserdisc version (this is the first DVD of HEAVY METAL that I have owned). If all you care about is the movie, the Superbit is a great presentation, for all the extras, look for different versions.
Is the review positive or negative?
