Metallica Through the Never gets you up close and personal with the band as they perform their greatest songs. Coffins descend the crowd, gunfire tears up the stage and lights descend on the unaware. Occasionally we follow Dane DeHaan's roadie Trip on a mission full of the weird and the unbelievable. It's a movie within a movie. It's a strange route to take, but it surprisingly fits with Metallica's formidable set. This is truly one for the fans. Those who are not a fan of heavy metal will find little to like here. DeHaan's story is simple. The band's set is far more interesting, especially when the arena starts to fall apart around them.Check out more of my film reviews on http://straighttelling.co.uk

This is not a movie, its a concert and for someone who is not all that familiar with Metallica this is not a good introduction to the band, it is actually painful to follow the movie. During the first 30 minutes I was praying that the movie would actually start following the protagonist. The concert takes up far too much space in the movie. It is honestly such a shame that the directors and writers couldn't let the band take the "backseat" for once by just featuring the music and protagonist for majority of the movie. There is nothing wrong with the music in the movie, the concert couldn't be more boring to watch. This movie was actually a huge let down seeing as I was looking forward to following the story of the young roadie Trip into his surreal adventure. Instead we just get a glimpse into his adventure because the concert takes up majority of the plot. The cinematography is beautiful especially when following Trip, which once again makes it such a shame the movie doesn't follow him.

As many here have said, I love Metallica, but I feel disappointed, I was expecting a movie, and even though it isn't a movie but a concert with a little tiny movie within, the movie doesn't have any explanation on what was all the crazy stuff on the little movie shoots, and what was in the bag at the end, it makes me angry.... but a great concert after all, Cunning Stunts on steroids... or "Cunning Stunts on HD, 3D, Dolby Atmos and 15 years later".There is not a single reason or explanation on why there are zombies, why there is some kind of rioting, why the guy in the truck is scared or what is happening to him, what is the meaning on the horsemen, no explanation at all.Some argue that the bag contained Cliff Burton soul, but again, nothing concrete.
