The movie features no dialogue, bar that of Trip's supervisor and the band – a concept similar to Pink Floyd's movie The Wall and Daft Punk's Interstella 5555. "We've obviously been influenced by some of the great music films of the past – The Song Remains the Same, or what Pink Floyd did with The Wall," said Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. "But this is pretty unique. It's like a cross between Mad Max and The Twilight Zone."[7] It was the first feature released by the revived incarnation of the Picturehouse marquee, which had been shut down since 2008.
The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, but was a box office bomb grossing only $31.9 million against a $32 million budget.
