This futuristic animated adventure is based on the graphic novel
The Melting Pot, created by noted comic artists
Kevin Eastman,
Simon Brisley, and
Eric Talbot and published by the creators of the well-known graphics magazine
Heavy Metal. In a distant universe, the acronym F.A.K.K. (Federation Assigned Ketogenic Killzone) is used to designate places of extreme danger to all life forms. In a bid to keep out unwelcome visitors, the quiet civilization of Eden has designated itself as F.A.K.K., level two. However, a lunatic named Tyler (voice of
Michael Ironside) invades Eden, and when he discovers Eden's secrets -- life-preserving if respected, deadly when abused -- he lays waste to the civilization, leaving behind only a female warrior named Julie (voice of
Julie Strain). Julie sets out to find Tyler, determined to see the secrets of Eden returned to safety and eager to take her revenge for the slaughter of her people. Unlike the 1981 film
Heavy Metal,
Heavy Metal 2000 tells one long story rather than several shorter ones; in keeping with the first movie, it does features a soundtrack by a number of noted rock bands, including
Monster Magnet,
Pantera,
Days of the New,
Insane Clown Posse,
System of a Down,
Coal Chamber, and others.
Heavy Metal 2000 was released in Europe as
Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2.
