Seen it 4 times myself so far. Thinking I'm going to do one more before it leaves theaters around here.
I've seen it in both 2d and 3d. 3d added nothing

a bit lttp but just saw this today and absolutely loved it.
There's an incredible amount of attention to detail on everything including the props, for instance I didn't notice until the end of the film that the gas pedal for the war rig was actually a shoe size measure.

I disagree a bit. 3D doesn't need to be a pop-in fest to be enjoyable. It can also generate a general spatial feeling for you. That can be also nice for people who like it.

It's a pity the movie didn't make more at the box office. I wish they had announced the sequel by now
Miller did..didn't he? Over his twitter iirc

It made a combined total of $334 million at the domestic and intl box office. Not bad for such a movie. I am sure the biggest worry in distributor's minds was DREDD, an R-rated re-imagining of a cult IP that bombed a crater on the boxoffice. Fury Road did quite well, and there is still DVD/Blu Ray money to be had.
Valhalla is close!Fifth viewing tonight! Cant wait

Can't wait for the bluray. The theaters near me all pulled the film off their showtime, so I can't rewatch it until it hits home media ;(
Eh, not really. He's got ideas and a willingness to do more, but it's all meaningless until someone pays to put it into development.

Sadly kickstarting doesnt work. Adi Shankar (producer of many things) explains it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWP88WKVBKs

Wasn't that a fake account?
Miller said he doesn't even want to think about sequels right now so soon after finishing this one.

Just got back from my fifth Fury Road! Final one.. ;__; tonight is its last night at my local theatre. No more.
;___;
Twas glorious and shiny and chrome
*v8 salute*
It is awaited in Valhalla!!!
Did the milk mothers each nurse a doll? Where were their actual babies? ;__;
Also, saw the war-rig's side mirror replaced with a small cosmetic compact's mirror after it was broken in the sand storm... 😃
Aaaaah
Such movie. Ride eternal, Fury Road!!!!

Saw it for the second time last night just to catch some of the nuances I missed and to just support such an interesting movie. The showing I went to was actually completely full, movie seemed to still be doing well.
Between this and money made off home release, I'm sure we'll get another. Then again, this movie took so long, I doubt a sequel will hold up...and I don't really know if Miller has another one in himself. If this is how the series has to go out, I'm more than happy with that.

I'm not sure. Even though Adi financed Dredd, I am having a hard time believing him. There has to be more to the story.
man and here i thought everyone just really wanted a vegetable drink!
That was a fake account.

saw this last night. Movie was good except it really should have been a gore fest imo. The lack of blood/gore was definitely missed in a movie like this.

Saw the movie last night, and boy, did I have a great time. Definitely one of the best action films of the year, if not one of the best films in general of the year. Everything was just so good: the practical effects, the world, the action. It hasn't been since Kingsmen that a movie has made me so giddy with joy. What a great film, and I hope they end up making a sequel.
I doubt the sequel would've been announced by now even it did better than its already fantastic run. Note that Jurassic World's sequel hasn't been announced yet. I bet both Mad Max 5 and Jurassic Park 5 are being saved for Comic Con announcements.

What is the usual Blu-ray release timing for a movie like this? This will be the first one I buy since The Lord of the Rings extended editions.
Freedom = $1.05

depends on the studio. Usually, it's anywhere between 4-6 months for a movie that just came out in theaters, sometimes a little less if the movie did poorly and the studio wants to recoup as many costs as possible

It should be dropping in September, probably around the first 2 weeks. A German retailer had a "September" tentative release window and the game drops September 1st too.
Also picked up my Furiosa comic. Just kind of flipped through it, beautiful artwork, but haven't had chance to read it.
Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) really cemented himself as the next big thing in movie soundtracks with this movie IMO. It's hard to find many examples of a soundtrack being so in tune with the visuals on screen, honestly the only examples I can remember of the top of my head from the past two decades are John Williams' Harry Potter OST, the LotR OST, and Bear McCreary's work on Battlestar Galactica.
I can't imagine directors and producers not tumbling over themselves getting him on board for their movies.

Totally agree. I just watched 300: Rise of an Empire last night, and with all the flaws that movie has, the soundtrack wasn't it. So good.
WB seems to love him. Put him on more things!

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I don't see any other film wowing me as much as Mad Max for the rest of the year so I'm 99% sure Mad Max will be my 2015 Move of the Year. I kind of wish I had seen Jurassic World before Mad Max as seeing it after really soured me on the low quality of JW and it's hammy plot, cheap CG and terrible acting.
I hope Charlize Theron gets an Oscar nomination. We all know the Academy Awards are a sham, but she at least deserves a nom and some recognition for playing this year's most iconic character Furiosa.

Finally seeing this for my fourth time tonight, with a friend (it will be her first). Can't fucking wait.

Agreed! I really dug his 300: Rise of an Empire score too so I was optimistic when he came on board over Marco Beltrami.
Isn't his next project Batman for BvS?! Really can't wait to hear what he does for that.
