Fucking awesome movie.
But "75% action" is a bit overexaggerated by people... lets settle for 50%. Still awesome!

I'm not expecting it, but it might have an outside chance of a Best Picture nomination (they are still doing up to 10 right?). I have to admit I don't know how crowded it will be this Oscar season but if District 9 can get nominated than this should too.

Edit : THR : Is 'Mad Max' Oscar-Worthy?
George Miller is an old man who hasn't made films in decades.
Besides Terrence Mallick who came out of retirement of nearly two decades to make The Thin Red Line I can't think of a comeback like this.
I just don't understand it. This film is grotesquely good. It was so absurd.

I hope you feel embarrassed.George Miller is an old man who hasn't made films in decades.
His last film was in 2011
actor speculation:Did anyone else pick up a sort of Terry Gilliam vibe from the characters/art/quirkiness?
Nothing in Flight showed that Zemeckis has gone senile. If anything, that plane crash shows the dude is still a master of blending live action and CG.I never understood why venturing out of a single genre is seen as a negative in Hollywood, especially when it comes to landing these big budget projects. If nothing else, I'm sure dabbling in animation gave Miller all kinds of freedom when it came to the visual construction of a lot of these set pieces.
If you wanted to make a parallel, I feel the most obvious would be Zemeckis. After a decade in animation, back to live action. Except, unlike Zemeckis, Miller hasn't gone senile quite yet.
I've never seen a Mad Max movie but the hype is getting kind of hard to avoid and the trailers have me a bit interested.
Wondering whether I should pay the cinemas a visit tomorrow.
So wait wait wait was happy feet actually good

Does all the praise here mean its going to do bad numbers wise?

The only review that matters. lol

21:15 tonight with some friends, pretty hyped
The effects were good, Zemeckis has always had a good grasp of effects.
The kindest thing I can say about the rest of Flight is that he didn't write the script so it's probably too unfair to put the blame solely on Zemeckis.
(Also, it probably has the laziest, most uninspired use of licensed music in any film, ever.)
Heading out now, wish me luck! I'll see you in Valhalla, brothers and sisters!
Very good.
Tom Hardy is easily the biggest (maybe only) weak link of the film. His barely intelligible grunts (and another accent botch job) carry none of the requisite weight of a great silent protagonist.
Also, it's a film that's so overt and heavy handed with its imagery and themes that you can't help but admire the fact that it commits so fully to its conceit.
I liked Hardy but it definitely felt like he couldn't quite get a grasp on his character. Like, he ALMOST had it, but veered off. He has his moments, though, and does a good enough job being the extremely reluctant hero.
Didn't help that his accent varied widely. I just want him to be Australian, dammit![]()
actor speculation:I've been watching a lot of Python though.could have swore Michael Palin was Charlize Theron's subordinate on the war rig in the beginning, the squinty directing one covered in total white.
I have to go see this...the second Mad Max,Road Warrior is one of my favorite movie of all time.
