Mötley Crüe: The End - Live in Los Angeles Blu-ray Movie  

Blu-ray + CD

Eagle Rock Entertainment | 2016 | 153 min | Not rated | Nov 04, 2016 | Jeffrey Kauffman

On the 31st December 2015, Mötley Crüe took to the stage of the Staples Center in their home city of Los Angeles for their last-ever live performance. It was the culmination of a farwell tour which had started in July 2014 and traveled around the world taking in North and South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East. The band had signed a legally binding cessation of touring contract that prevented them touring as Mötley Crüe beyond the end of 2015 and so this concert truly was The End. Being Mötley Crüe, they did of course go out in style with a spectacular light show and stage set, pyrotechnics, Tommy Lee's incredible rollercoaster drum solo and a set list packed with Mötley Crüe classics. They may be gone, but they'll never be forgotten.

However, harmony does not prevail everywhere. Just beyond Dinotopia's capital, Waterfall City, are deadly carnivores that pose a constant threat to the delicate balance of nature. Equally dangerous are human outlaws such as Cyrus Crabb (David Thewlis), a pirate descendant who shuns the Dinotopian codes. But there is no greater concern than the mysterious failing of the sunstones, which power all of Dinotopian life.
