Ben Sachs
Even as someone who finds Metallica's music silly (ditto the movie's incoherent apocalyptic fantasy sequences), I was floored by much of the visual imagination.
William Goss
It's all very appropriately overblown, and director Antal gives the fireworks as much attention as he does each performer.
Owen Gleiberman
Metallica, those thrash virtuosos of doom, get the grand 3-D opera they deserve: a godless-apocalypse-meets-Vegas spectacle, full of fireballs and electric chairs.
Adam Graham
Metallica is as fierce and intense as ever, and the greatest hits set the band performs is a barrage of heavy riff-age that captures the band at its most vital.
Stephen Whitty
In the real world, concerts build to a climax, then return for two or three more; on the screen, alas, "Metallica: Through the Never" just kind of peters out.
Eric Hynes
It's all very handsomely arranged, but even with the concert footage, nothing ever feels live.

Despite swooping camera movements and elaborate stagecraft, the film produces detachment rather than immediacy.

Viva La Metallica! Incredible.....the way the mixed a disturbing,epic and insane storyline during the concert was insanely masterful and creative. Yes the story is short and while there isn't much of it it's still very entertaining! Story highlights for me was:the armored resistance member chasing Dane Dehaan, Dane literally lighting himself on fire and beating the s*** out of some baddies,Dane smashing a building and destroying over 2 blocks,the resistance members fighting the swat teams. See this movie. Love you Dane!!:)
Metallica ugh I was scared to watch this movie. Scared Lars Ulric would show up at my house with a law suit. Metallica lost all credibility with me when they started sueing their fans. Go away, your not relevant anymore, it's not 1989. This movie is awful, the only magical trip I want to see Metallica take, is to an early grave.

Metallica... ...at their best. It's crazy to see these dudes nowadays. They're just at the height of their ability in this movie. It's theatrical and the story is more or less pointless but it's Metallica crushing a nice set of great songs and an awesome stage set up. It's fun and if you're a Metallica fan at all than it's thumbs up from you too.

Decent concert movie for those who are still Metallica fans The Metallica performance was very solid. They are on point and not sloppy as their shows usually go. Hetfields voice holds up surprisingly well with not much high pitch screeching as he has been doing the past 15 years or so. The "story" that goes along with it, not so great. Has some okay visuals but doesn't tell much. Fortunately, it doesn't take up much of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert and that was good enough for me. It's worthy of at least a rental for those who are still fans.
Avoid Poorly acted. Just another Metallica vanity project. Sucked big time.

The Summit
In August, 2008, 18 mountain climbers reached the top of K2. 48 hours later, 11 people were dead. While memorials paid tribute to those killed, there were also condemnations about 'the why.' Why do these athletes risk everything to reach a place humans are simply not meant to go? With breathtaking cinematography and jaw dropping reenactments based on the testimony of those who survived the climb, this thrilling film is about the very nature of adventure in the modern world.

Parkland
November 22, 1963 is a day that changed the world forever when beloved American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. PARKLAND is the true story behind that tragic day, told from the vantage point of individuals who are forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that will change the world's landscape forever: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment's notice. Thrust into a scenario with unimaginable consequences, these key figures respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives create one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.

Though initially hesitant, Tom and Anna decide that the plan is simple: all they have to do is quietly take the money and use only what's necessary to get them out of debt. But when they start spending the money and can't seem to stop, they find themselves the target of a deadly adversary—the thief who stole it—and that's when very bad things start happening to good people.
