    Story Synopsis:
    Heavy Metal 2000 recreates the feel of the original cult classic with an updated look for the new millennium.

    Reason #65 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it is an informative source on A/V equipment and entertainment. The many excellent reviews on DVDs (and Laser Discs, back in the day), as well as surround music, have led me to some real gems!
