Heavy Metal 2000

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

1. This movie is currently available on the "free" movie service "Crackle."

2. Crackle is a "free" movie service... they have a D+ selection of movies, you don't need an account or anything, but about every 10 minutes you have to watch a rotation of 3 30 second commercials. Sometimes you get the same commercial 3 times in a row. It's too frequent and breaks the pacing of whatever you are watching.

3. The movie itself is very meh. I was hoping to get a sequel to Heavy Metal, instead I got something completely unrelated. There was obvious advertising for the game of this movie, in the movie. The cartoon sex does not deliver in spite of having a soft-core porn star as the voice and body model for the heroine, and the music is not a character like it was in the first movie. The movie's original title was Heavy Metal: FAKK 2 which was a vague inference to the movie saying "fuck you." But in the context of the movie, in which they say that phrase a few times, it doesn't make a lot of sense. They claim it stands for a planet deemed off-limits with the level of FAKK 2 - Federation Assigned Ketogenic Killzone, level 2.... but they dont' explain what, or why, and it becomes the villain's catchphrase for no apparent reason.

Anyway, this movie is a mess, and the sex doesn't deliver, so there isn't much reason to watch it unless you are a completionist.
