I need to stop thinking about this movie so I can focus on work instead and this thread isn't helping 
Absolutely. You'll probably love the hell out of The Road Warrior, as it's the most directly comparable film to Fury Road, from the elegantly simple setup and story to the amazing chase sequences to the awesome villain.
I need this in painting form.

I wish the marketing/PR department didn't run every shot through HDR/Clarify/Desaturate filter(s). I'm pretty partial to the look of the movie now.

Ew, why? They're just annoying wastes of time. I abhor menus with animations, transitions, etc. Menus should be functional and speedy.

I like my fancy ass Blu Ray discs because they have superior sound and video compared to digital.

Finally got around to seeing it, my favorite action movie in a long ass time. Junkie XL nailed it, the style was fresh enough and it had the right amount of over-the-top-ness where I wouldn't consider it silly. The action and "impact" felt just right, especially for a movie that really didn't go crazy with gore. I'm surprised the movie was rated R frankly, but I wouldn't alter the movie in any other way as is.
The best way I could describe it, it had that feeling of an 80's movie but updated with current day tech. I want more of it. I really hope it has legs, it deserves it.

Absolutely worth it. DBox makes the movie even better.

Just watched this again this afternoon. 3D this time.
While I don't particularly care for 3D movies, it was the nearest showtime I could get and have it fit it into my day today.
I'll be seeing it again this weekend. Absolutely love this movie.
also been updating and adding to my fanart. Work in progress, obviously:

Preach.
From what i've read. It seems like a special kind of seat with motions features included. Never heard of them before until this thread lol

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
So glad the hype wasn't misplaced, I LOVED this movie!
Not sure if I'd call it the best action film of 2015, Avengers was a disappointment but Kingsman was really good. It's def between Mad Max and Kingsman for me... I'll have to see both on blu ray again before I decide which is better.
I really hope Charlize gets an Oscar nom though, she was the highlight of Mad Max. Could you see it actually happening?

I doubt that would actually be overlooked since cutting on action is like Editing 101.
Any news in an extending cut ? I think i saw stuff on the trailers not on the filmI'd pay to watch every second of it!
I'd qualify that DBox on "full volume", so to speak, or more appropriately Max Mode
is what is needed to get the Maximum experience out of Mad Max: Fury Road!Maximum D-Box is pretty damn fun!

That's basic continuity

I have never owned a BluRay Disc in my life.
Mad Max: Fury Road is gonna change that.

Just got back and somehow it totally lived up to the hype. I hope this sets a standard for action movies and female characters that really shakes up the industry. Fucking amazing.
I know what he means though. It's less about continuity and more the way they would use quick cuts like that to give you a sense of the orientation and where things are in relation to eachother. It was very well done.

What a fucking excellent movie.
This was my first mad max movie, but that was a lot of fun to watch. So many beauty shots. I love that it used some fast forward distorted movement to go with the over the top insane-ness this movie was.
Also I couldn't help but crack up everything that guy with the BADASS guitar flamethrower appeared.

It's blowing my brain that a 70-year-old man brought this piece of madness to the big screen. Simply outstanding.

Just saw it. Only read positive (besides the MRA nonsense) things about it.
I did nod off in the beginning a bit due to food and beer overload. Overall though it was an emotional, audio, and visual high for 2 hours.
The world is filled with fantastic creativity and I loved the whole battles and how each car had a specific threat associated to it.
Thumbs up for me.

That whole sequence with them pulling the rig out with the tree. And the shots of the approaching enemy lights. Chills.

And how Max and Nux just instinctively start cooperating despite being at each others throats a moment ago. I loved that moment.

It was the score that got me chills in that scene. Every now and then you'd hear them coming closer and closer. Brilliant.
FTFY
I like that such a nice seeming guy who made Babe and Happy Feet has this dark side in him that contains all the sick imagery and violence in Mad Max.
I really thought he had peaked with Babe
ig In The City, but he still had some magic left in him! Amazing.disappeared

There were so many things in this movie that simply have not been seen before. By the ending credits I was dumbstruck, because this movie, in its entirety, is something no other director has ever attempted.
Such an utter assault on the senses. Miller clearly wanted to say, "fuck you" to present-day action films.

Co-operating in order to survive regardless of conflict, that sounds like pesky Nihilism to me.
