Yes, I am having the same problem as you can see. It's just that the OP says it looks more appealing and I wondered if he had any thoughts or even facts about it which I can't glean from the link provided.The truth is unlikely to be found in any of Lomography's marketing materials. I can barely make any sense of them.
As best as I can tell Lomochrome Metropolis is like Cracker Jacks: there is a surprise in every box. Maybe a surprise is what you need when you make an otherwise banal image. The colors are weird so it must be art.Yes, I am having the same problem as you can see.

That's what I've read too. Some of the lomography colour "effect" films are apparently experiments by inoviscoat/filmotec on their way to manufacture a more normal film.@pentaxuser IIRC Henning said that Metropolis is their own design, the only in-house developed and manufactured emulsion they sell.
As for why it's marketed with 100-400, apparently you get weird colour shifts depending on how it was exposed. No idea if it's true because I wouldn't touch the effect films even if it was free.
OK and thanks. It was just that you used the phrase "more appealing than the previous version" so I wondered if you expressing some enthusiasm for it.
So in summary it does strange things, it is not a multiple speed film by any normal definition of what such a film might be, nor does Lomography make it.. It is basically all marketing hype with actual facts about it as scarce as hens' teeth and it costs more than Portra
I may just have to pass on this film

As for the "chrome" name...in the past even B&W films were labelled "chrome" (see verichrome Pan, for one). Only latterly has it indicated slide/reversal colour film.
