"Metropolis" was heavily hyped(globally) and anticipated for its time, even being said to be the "heir to AKIRA", and with several large names attached to the production. Upon release it was immediately forgotten and for good reason. No one talks about this movie now, outside of its amazing visuals and flowing animation.
While visually stunning, the story and characters are an absolute mess.
The ending is so abrupt and over the top without resolving ANY of the dozens of plot threads introduced throughout. Best to enjoy with friends and a six-pack.
