Heavy Metal 2000 (2000)

Fuck nostalgia, this was better than the original Heavy Metal (1981). It’s based on a graphic novel that I haven’t read called The Melting Pot (1995) created by Kevin Eastman, Eric Talbot and Simon Bisley. There's some guff about a key in space and eternal life, but there's a shard that glows green so we can at least pretend it's connected to the previous film.
It's not an anthology this time, meaning both the story and art style are more consistent, except for the addition of some crap CGI.
It plays Voivod over the opening credits, so I can’t complain too much.
