didn't even know this movie was out... when I was aware and ordered it immediately and must say was incredible..... ☆☆☆☆☆ all the way!!!!!

Being a long time fan of Metallica I had a friend tell me about this movie. I quickly searched the internet and came across this copy on Best Buy. Although I wasn't too sure about the package contents, it lead me to believe that I was purchasing a 3 disc set. 1 3D Blu Ray, 1 standard Blu Ray and a DVD. When my package arrived, I received 1 3D Blu Ray and that was it. There was a code that I could go online and redeem for a digital DVD copy that you could download and view on personal devices. I downloaded the digital copy and burned it to a DVD. I have a 3D computer and I watched the movie. Excellent movie. But when I tried to play the 3D Blu Ray copy on my PS3, all I got was sound and no picture. I tried on a friends stand alone Blu Ray player and it would not play period. Movie was great, package contents misleading. I figured I got what I ordered so there was no need to contact Best Buy and lodge my complaint.

This is quite possibly the best DVD I have ever heard. The cinematics are crisp. The story line was interesting. The sound, however, was like being there. I have seen Metallica in concert, but always hated the live music recordings. Now that this DVD exists, I don't need to watch it. Although I do. This is a concert DVD. It is staged and scripted, which people seem to miss. But there is also this back story video that follows the music as it follows the character though an oncoming apocalypse. Which really makes this one long music video, to live music. So it's not a concert DVD, but also not a movie. Yet this excels as both.

There's somewhat of a story going on but this disc is more about seeing Metallica in 3D and hearing them rock out in HD audio. The 3D is pretty awesome and you actually feel like you're in the crowd. The stage setup is pretty cool. Metallica knows how to bring it. The story that's occurring while the concert is happening is a bit cheesy but still entertaining and goes well with the music. You MUST have a 3D t.v and either a 3D blu ray player or PS3 to view this disc. I was able to watch it in 2D by pressing the 3D button on my t.v remote but it would've been nice if they simply included a separate 2D copy of the film. It's still worth getting if you're a fan and if you have a 3D t.v and 3D player.

Ok, so Metallica has only been touring outside the United States for a few years now, and my budget is not allowing me to enjoy foreign travel anytime soon, so this movie is the next best thing to seeing Metallica live. I love this movie! The action is great, suspense is awesome... you will be DYING to know what is in the bag!!!! I'm not telling. Seeing Metallica up close and personal in this movie with such clarity.... it looks as if you could just reach out and touch them! That alone is worth much more than the price of this DVD to me! \m/
