Heavy Metal is a cult classic with a killer soundtrack and wildly ambitious animation that hasn't aged perfectly—and the scores reflect that. Skip it if you want a coherent narrative, but YES if you're into trippy, weird 80s sci-fi with an anything-goes anthology vibe that prioritizes style and spectacle over plot.

Plot

The embodiment of ultimate evil, a glowing orb terrorizes a young girl with bizarre stories of dark fantasy, eroticism and horror.
