I think George Miller moving away from this aesthetic (tangible and natural)
to high contrast colors, with a ton of cgi (a trend that started with fury road) is such a downgrade.
I fear the reason why we don't see more practical effects is that Hollywood CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. No stunt men, set and prop designers, car handlers, rigs capable of catching the action, insurance companies that would underwrite it, or actors willing to put up with laborious in camera stuff and location shooting when greenscreen studios are just down the street from their condo. The ridiculous costs of making real sets likely reflects the scarcity of production teams versus CGI houses these days rather than a real world economic issue.
Just give them a few years,I wouldn't put it past them...
I wondered if anyone would comment on this, I hate this trend of using either cover versions of songs or, as with this trailer, orchestrating part of a song.
Don't give them any ideas.
It's all about giving people something that they can recognize, even if it's unconsciously vs. having to create anything new....
Yeah, that's what I meant by "flicker of recognition", I'm pretty sure it's not about not wanting something new - there's no shortage of composers wanting to work.
He couldve just continued with another Tom Hardy movie in that universe though.
In their defence, the storyline for this movie was written back when they wrote the script for Fury Road, as the idea was for all the main characters to have a backstory that wouldn't be shown in the movie but would contribute to the actors' understanding of their characters. So if they were going to turn Furiosa's backstory into a movie, it was always going to be a prequel, and it was always going to require a recasting of the lead -- as the character is much younger in this story.
Charlize Theron is GREAT. But she's pushing 50. Might be a bit of a push to get her to play what appears to be her character in her early 20s?
It didnt have to be this story. They couldve simply continued her arc.
Not much to say. I am simply saying that when i want to see a Mad Max movie, id rather see Mad Max in it. Same goes for Harry Potter, James Bond, Alan Wake and Jon Wick. Just a small annoyance i have with these spinoffs.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with George Miller lending his likeness for Death Stranding 2.
Wait why is it woke? The character was already established in Fury Road, it's not like they Mary sued her into existence. If anything apparently this movie will have a cameo from Tom Hardy showing what Max was up to during these events which is supposed to be alluding to the next film.
With the current Warner Bros. which is even worse, I don't trust this movie... Where is Mad Max?
To be fair this was filmed around COVID conditions which is why they might've gone for more CGI, let's hope it's a return to Fury Road style for the next Mad Max.
Although I like George Miller as a director, seeing Hemsworth play an eccentric villain is the real draw for me tbh.I'll watch anything with Chris hemsworth being insane.
Is your issue that these spinoffs are being pushed out as big blockbuster features? Like would you have this same feeling if this were the 2000s and this movie went direct-to-dvd?
