Metallica: Through The Never is a new Metallica concert film. The film actually has a narrative, which already makes it different from other concert movies. The narrative basically has a roadie (played by Dane DeHaan) that is sent out to get a package that the band needs for the concert, but something is not quite right when he goes on this quest through the city. First of all, I'm a huge Metallica fan. I think they are like the greatest band on earth so obviously I was incredibly excited for this movie.
The concert itself is amazing. They played all of their best songs, and the stage itself was like nothing I had ever seen. They brought out the Lady Justice statue, the electric chair, basically everything. The 3D was great too, which is always good. The narrative itself though is were people might have a problem with this movie. You never know what is going on, they enver explain what the package is or what the hell happened. There is something I noticed though. The lyrics actually match with what is happening on screen, so the narrative is actually like a big music video for all the songs. I am dissapointed that they never explain what the hell was in the package though.
As a fan of Metallica I can say this movie was fantastic, but if you aren't a fan well I guess it is pretty obvious that this is not the film for you. The film has some really cool shots, awesome music, and a fantastic show. The only problem is the narrative, which is kind of made for people that know the lyrics of the songs. Metallica: Through The Never gets a 4.5/5
