Any other potential Oscar nominees so far this year?
Goddamn. I was waiting for a friend to get back in town before watching it a second time, and now it's no longer playing on any the bigger screens. No more Atmos screenings! Tomorrowland took over everything this weekend! Lol. Oh well I guess I'll have to settle for a "good" screen rather than a great one.
Just the way I like it.
I don't see it getting any of the big nominations, but I totally see it getting a bunch of the technical awards (editing, sound, VFX, etc).

I believe he has a shot at best director, he really deserves it for turning his franchise from 30 years ago into a masterpiece of modern action.

I know that feel bro.
Doomsday might scratch that it, but, less metal though
That would be quite the feat. I'm guessing it's going to come in closer to 35m and take number three behind Tomorrowland and Pitch Perfect 2. I'd be pleasantly surprised at a higher than 40m total though.

Saw this today. That really wasn't a film about Mad Max, was it :lol
Loved it.
Loved it.
I think PP2 BO will take a nose dive this weekend. There are no buzz about Tomorrowland.
Freedom = $1.05

They're both PG13 films though and summer is out. Kids have to watch something in the theater, right?
So i can see it mayyyyybe coming in second but I still see Tomorrowland taking the weekend, especially since it's tracking that way.

I love to see the Academy throw some love onto this movie instead of the usual Oscar bait stuff we see.
I'm sure we'll see generic period drama #3823 get 9 nominations, win nothing, then be instantly forgotten.

Anyone have links to quality shots from the film? Like poster images, wallpaper etc.

Guys, I've seen this three times and I still can't stop thinking about it. I need help. I want to go again....
Also, Brothers in Arms is such an awesome, awesome track.

Got to check this out today. Second best chase film I've seen behind Apocalypto. Whenever the action stopped for character development, I just wanted it to end to get back to the goods. That's pretty much my only complaint. How was the 3D to those that have seen both?
Is it made for the format like Gravity
or not?
Is it made for the format like Gravity
or Abadar
Have you seen War of the Arrows? It reminds me a lot of Apocalypto.

Will no doubt get some technical awards, but I see it being snubbed for acting/directing/picture.

I haven't but I just looked it up and watched the trailer. I'll definitely check it out, looks pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation.

It's a movie about an escaped slave and a handicapped woman who overcome the challenges of an unjust society. That's Oscar material if I ever saw it.

When you put it that way, it definitely sounds like Oscar bait.

posted same thoughts in spoiler thread:
just got back from seeing this and.. it was OK
and i say that because the sets and props and costume designs, nux and immortal joe were incredible (i felt these two characters were the only ones who understood what was needed for this movie because they just had the mad max flare about them, its not easy to describe this.. but they were fucking spot on)
as for max and furiosa.. wasn't too interesting
i wanted to like this film a lot more because it started off on such an interesting premise but im sad to say that it isnt even all that memorable.. the more the story progressed the more diluted it became
the story had great potential to cause some adventure anxiety which would keep the audience at the edge of their seat and to have an active concern for the lives of our heros but instead it used its time to express more sentimental stuff which really didnt do much imo and actually felt cliched.. the characters could have been more developed to at least earn that
movie overall: 6.5/10
performance by hardy/theron: 5/10
actual story/execution: 4/10
premise: 10/10
sets/props/costumes: 10/10
performances by hugh keays-byrne and nicholas hoult: 10/10
my excitement during the movie peaked when
but when the story gets rolling the excitement gradually diminishes because nothing interesting ever happens

immortal joe visits his wive cage to find his wives missing, to which im thinking holy shit this guy has got to be pissed
Now I can convince old people to see it.

Make sure to add it's from the director of Babe and Happy Feet.
I already do.

One of the things I read was that Theron was really creeped out by Hardy's method acting. He kept in character on set. And I don't mean in some good way - she legit thought he was a weirdo and they really had differences over it.
