Metallica Through the Never Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Despite swooping camera movements and elaborate stagecraft, the film produces detachment rather than immediacy.
Entertainment Weekly
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.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
A gigantic spectacle, a virtual-reality experience that is both ridiculous and sublime, sometimes in the same moment.
Detroit News
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.
Los Angeles Times
August Brown
The problem is that Antal and Metallica took two different movies - a fine live-band document and a supernatural end-of-days romp - and smashed them together to make both of them more boring.
New York Daily News
Jim Farber
Lets viewers feel like they're sliding up and down the fretboard of Kirk Hammett's guitar, volleying between the cymbals of Lars Ulrich and swallowing spit spewed by singer James Hetfield.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
The 3-D concert footage is unassailably cool. Less assured is the occasional storyline threaded through the film.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
This movie is basically "Spinal Tap" minus the jokes.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
An old-school music video stretched to feature length.
Austin Chronicle
Raoul Hernandez
DeHaan's possession of the spotlight might well best the band itself, since Metallica never completely catches fire live.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
Even at its goofiest, Through The Never brings back the communal appeal of those early concert films.
Film Journal International
Nick Schager
If Through the Never's attempts at creating a story-and-performance hybrid are only partially successful...its concert footage remains its prime selling point and strength.
Chicago Reader
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.
Film.com
William Goss
It's all very appropriately overblown, and director Antal gives the fireworks as much attention as he does each performer.
Slate
Eric Hynes
It's all very handsomely arranged, but even with the concert footage, nothing ever feels live.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
If you're looking for an orgasmic trip to heavy-metal heaven, this is it.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Through The Never plays like The Black Album of concert films: It's enormous, slick, and occasionally rousing, but largely fails to capture the sheer intensity of Metallica's superior '80s work.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The 13-year-old me would have loved it, and I wouldn't be lying if I said that at times the movie turned me back into that 13-year-old kid.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
A sweeping, ambitious take on concert films, "Metallica: Through The Never" works well enough visually, and certainly musically, to make up for its feeble attempt to fictionalize the lengths to which a fan would go for his favorite band.
San Jose Mercury News
Tony Hicks
It's a damn fine concert movie and a musical thrill ride. Period.
