The world's hardest - and weirdest - heavy metal band Impaled Rektum is serving their sentence in Norway's nicest prison. They receive word that guitarist Lotvonen's parents' reindeer herding farm is about to come under the hammer. It will take a big gig and big money to save the farm. A breakout ensues and a trip to the world's biggest heavy festival, Wacken in northern Germany begins. The higher the target, the bigger the obstacles. This is what the boys will experience on their epic journey to the main stage of Wacken - every metalhead's heaven.

Fun movie for metal and non-metal heads alike

While it doesn't quite reach the quality of the first movie, it still offers plenty of lighthearted entertainment and a few good laughs.I mean the plot "band falling apart due to an evil greedy producer guy but gets back together in the end" has been done to death but I'll always enjoy a good, tongue in cheek metal spin on it.Just don't expect any deep, thought-out story arks, oscar-worthy acting or character growth and you'll have a good time. The music is decent and the cast is likeable.One smaller gripe I have: It wouldn't hurt to be a little less tropey at times. The forced image change on a band to be more mainstream generally makes for a few good laughs but even that has been overdone by now.

Good, but not as good as the first movie...

I was looking forward to seeing this 2024 sequel titled "Hevimpi reissu" (aka "Heavier Trip") to the 2018 "Heavi Reissu" (aka. "Heavy Trip"), because I really enjoyed that movie.The storyline in the movie, as written by Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren, whom both also directed the movie, was adequate, but it just wasn't as impressive as the storyline in the first movie. Sure, it was still watchable and enjoyable, no doubt about it, but it just wasn't matching the entertainment value of the first movie.It was fun to see Johannes Holopainen, Samuli Jaskio, Chike Ohanwe and Max Ovaska return to reprise their characters from the first movie. Actor David Bredin was really a great addition to the movie, especially because he played his character so out. The acting performances in the movie were good.It was actually pretty funny and cool that the girls from Baby Metal showed up and played a part in the movie. As a metalhead, one might think whatever one wants about the band, but one cannot deny that they are famous and have acquired popularity. Of course, as with everything, it is all a matter of acquired taste and personal preference.The movie has some great music and songs in it, which definitely helps set the mood and atmosphere of the movie.My rating of "Hevimpi reissu" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Less fun than the first one, but still entertaining

I think the film is more of a mess than the first one. With vibes of Grady Hendrix's We Sold Our Souls, but also trying to be funny, while also depicting financial bullying of small enterprises from banks, with lots of metal references, but also featuring Babymetal, while actually going nowhere with it... it's all over the place.The guys are still fun, in that childish endearing way, but their art has to come face to face with the real world of music, where music doesn't matter, and money, but not for performance, but from merch. Still, I can't help noticing that the same problems hitting the band seem to shadow the movie itself.Overall, I think it was decent, with a rather bizarre ending that felt like someone just got fed up with making the movie and wanted to finish it quickly.
