Viewing Notes

Had the pleasure of seeing this complete version of Metropolis at the Seaholm Power Plant in Austin. If there ever was a perfect setting for this, that was it. Industrial pipes and layout around us, a beautiful live music score that never stops for 2 hours and 25 extra minutes that really filled out the movie.

It was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so very glad I went.
