REEL DEAL: Metallica Through The Never REVIEW

Hard core fans of legendary rock band Metallica will rejoice with the opening of Metallica: Through the Never on October 23 in all SM Cinema branches nationwide. The film is written by the award winning Nimrad Antar, and stars Metallica themselves, a thousand roaring Metallica fans and Dane DeHaan. The film brings together live footage, editing techniques and a compelling narrative to tell the story of a band crew member on a mission to be accomplished during Metallica’s sold out concert. Along the way, his life takes a 360-degree turn. 

Metallica Through The Never shares the same title with Metallica’s song from their 1991 Black album. The adventure weaves together the actual plot of the movie with a series of the band’s concert footages from a series of concerts in 2012. Metallica Through the Never made its world premiere in the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.  

Metallica Through The Never is brought to you by CinExclusive by SM Cinema. Now Showing in Theaters.

Deliberation time kids! 

Show summary in 3 lines: Rock and Roll!!!
Technical Effects: 4 out of 5 stars (For a musician-based movie, they have coordinated great effects with the main and side stories)
Plot: 3 out of 5 stars (Metallica defies the formulatic approach with a interesting side story)
Acting and Actors: 4 out of 5 stars  (I've never imagine a musical concert made given a whole new light with the performance of the band the the side characters) 
Music and Soundtracks:  5 out for 5 stars (It's METALLICA, were crying out loud!)
Pros:  Music, Concert Performance, Effects, Plot
Cons:  Songs that exceed 5 mins was kind of dragging, even it is a concert music movie
