Okay, so any long form music video that purports to be a film is gonna be a bit naff; the acting is always going to be mediocre at best and there effects are likely to be 'special'.
That said, going into this movie with that knowledge is your best bet.
Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it feels overlong at times, especially when people are acting, but I've seen enough terrible horror and action movies to just enjoy the ride.
The main criticism is the God awful sound.
The concert part of the movie is infinitely better. I came mainly for that bit anyway. The sound is better, not brilliant, but definitely better.
As contrast, I saw Metallica S&M2 a few weeks earlier. Given they are in the same age bracket Slayer have aged so much better. Tom Araya's voice is still great, Kerry King and Gary Holt can shred and Paul Bostaph is an incredibly watchable drummer.
I'd buy this but i doubt I'd watch the anything other than the concert part again.

Loved it!
The (short) film was gore, the story thin but fun with a nice twist at the end, it made me laugh!
The last 90 minutes was Slayer's entire live set performed at the Los Angeles Forum on August 5, 2017. An amazing job done by the band (how the hell do you keep up that level of energy!) and director Wayne Isham.
Definitely a unique experience seeing it on a big screen with cinema quality audio and video, well worth it!
So.....
Worst sound ever. My husband and I were actually in the front at the Forum show and this movie did not come close to what it was actually like or how it sounded. I liked the odd machete-ish short movie though. However , I did not come for the soothing sounds of Slayer. Is it over yet? ??
