I can't stop watching the Mad Max Fury Road blu-ray!
 

it's the most incredible blu-ray i've ever watched, by far.

and not just the movie part, the bts extras are also fantastic. they go in-depth on the design and building of most all the cars, they are all real deal, motors and everything. and another segment is all about how they filmed on Fury road. it's terrific movie making.

highly recommended.

simple minds are easily amused

that explains your need to try to insult someone over a movie [recommendation].

I have seen it at least 10 times already including twice at the theater. Does the blu ray have the black & white version on it? I'm not watching it again until I see that version. George Romero says it's the way the film should be seen. black & white with no dialogue... only the soundtrack.

It does not have the B&w version. Ive read they plan to do a special release of that later this year. I'm looking forward to it also but can't yet see how it can be better than the color version, its surreal at 1080p!

I know. My favorite scene is the big storm in the beginning because of the wild flashes of red and white. That scene goes from almost black&white to having flashes of really intense color which is so awesome but not sure how it will translate to total black&white.

The trailer gave impression about dumb Hollywood movie in nitros (the dumb stuff), so I haven't even watched that. But I guess if I want to see shitloads of gasoline explosions and dumb stunts, I am all for it.

I like the first three Mad Maxes.

havent seen it yet, going to watch it myself as well in a few minutes :)

i think you're gonna dig it. it's the ultimate car chase movie film. it doesn't try to be anything more than that but wow, it does that so fucking good. the attention to detail and realism in it all, based on the bts stuff, is impressive.

the cars man, wow! the cars.

I watched it again in IMAX 3d recently. This time, the score jumped out at me as being the standout element of the film. Just amazing cinematic music. Anyone who can't see all the love that went into making this film --- I'd tell them they should stop watching movies and stick their head all the way up their ass. But it's already up there.

3:25 is perfect

Gonna buy it too then!

I really wish I enjoyed it as much as you did. I would love to watch the BTS, however if the BTS is accompanied by the movie on the disc then they can :321GFY

I am a huge fan of the original Mad Max and this was total and utter disappoinment.

I will be interested in hearing your opinion on this movie.

Well if you start now, you may get finished by Christmas 2020

Mad Max: Fury Road Reviews & Ratings - IMDb

I'm going to watch this in a few minutes. Will report back.

Was not real impressed with the trailers but the reviews you guys are giving makes it seem at least worthy of a view.

different strokes for different folks. don't forget though, this is george miller, the original Mad Max director. and you're a car guy, you weren't complete blown away by the cars?

georgeyw, here is one of the bts segments including on the blu-ray, this is the one on the cars and very much worth watching for any car guy!

Great movie. My favourite so far this year. Also watched Jurassic World the other day. Nothing special but better than I was expecting it to be. Probably not worth the price of a theater ticket though.

The cars I have really enjoyed, have been to see them when they were in Sydney. I've always loved that part of the movie, know a bloke who helped build the cars.

The movie *for me* was so bad, I went with a mate to watch it, as we were walking out, I didn't say anything, just waited to see what he would say. The first words were *fuck that was a load of shit*

He's a massive car guy too - we both said as you did, the cars were great (especially knowing that everything worked ie twin engines / blowers blah blah), however the movie was just one long action scene of CGI overload. They tried so hard to put so much in it that they just forgot to actually put in a plot (again IMO).

The original was great, you got to know Max, his family and then started to feel his pain and were rooting for him to seek revenge on the bikers.

Like I said, I wish I felt the same way about this movie, I was extremely excited about it and it took so many years, almost didn't come to fruition and then this :(

Anyways the BTS sound really good, did some reading and sounds like it is better than the movie itself. :thumbsup

The car stuff was practical...except for the fire tornado of course. Where was the one long scene of CGI overload?

Why does a movie need some complicated plot to be interesting? There was a very definitive narrative, albeit a simple and straightforward one. This movie can have the sound turned all the way down and anyone could follow it. That's not a bad thing when it comes to something designed to be a visual medium.

Full Metal Jacket has less of a plot than Fury Road, but it's regarded as one of the great movies of all time. Same with Apocalypse Now and many other "classics". Saying something doesn't have enough story is weak criticism.

i don't disagree the movie has some flaws, sure. the one scene with furioso is painful to watch, you know which one i'm referring to. and sure it's not an Inception or Interstellar plot-based movie, but let's not forget, both those films have their fair share of flaws. so sure, Mad Max is basically driving Fury Road and back, but that's exactly where its charm lies.

it was a great movie i have watched it a few times allready.

Just picked up a new 58" Samsung smartTV earlier this mornin' - Mad Max sounds like a good flick to inaugurate it.

I just finished.

The visuals were cool.

The audio drove me nuts. I don't like when the voices are not integrated more. I don't know enough about movies to know what the term might be, but they basically sat on top of all other sounds as a separate layer. I had to adjust the volume on my TV multiple times between explosions being too loud and voices being too soft.

The cheese ball factor was a bit much for me. Dude with a flame throwing guitar strapped to the front of a car? LOL. Too much.

You do realise that 99% of the scenes are for the most part CGI?

I am not talking about a complicated plot, how about a reason to want to give a flying shit about the characters or where the story was going?

I disagree, in Full Metal Jacket you get to know the characters and the same with Apocalypse Now, their struggles and feel sad and even happy with people die (Gunnery Sargeant shot by Pvt Pyle). I remember the first time I watched both of those movies and thoroughly enjoyed it then and still do now. Fury is not in the same league.



Yeah, I will definitely watch the BTS now, the originals did definitely have flaws, however this was just completely over the top.

Ah well, i'll try the BTS stuff and see how that goes :thumbsup

Agreed. I was not rooting for anyone.

I was rooting for Max through the entire film. The scenes with the buzzard cars with him on the front of nuxs car? Wow. The opening scene? Totally. A bunch of other times too. I was rooting for furioso several times, I thought her fight scenes were very good and I even found myself rooting for her over max on those.

A movie doesn't need a complicated plot to be good, it needs an interesting and smart plot to be good, none of which this film has.

Personally I find car chases boring in movies. So one long car chase is not my idea of a good movie.

For you to say FMJ and AN don't have plots just goes to show you wouldn't know what a good movie was if it slapped you across the face.

I loved the doof warrior and the doof wagon! I thought he and that truck were scene stealers!

There's your problem right there. You think Inception and Interstellar are some kind of mind-blowing, deep and complex stories, when in reality they are nothing but pseudo-intellectual drivel for the average moviegoer.
It's no wonder you loved this crap film.

Gofuckyourself, I don't have fucking problem. Your fucking problem is you're a miserabledumb fuckwad.

Go and try to spread your fucking misery on someone else. Fuckwad.

Nothing in the trailer made me want to watch this movie.

Fuckwad movie snobs. Jesus fucking Christ what a cocksucker. Gofuckyourself.

Since movies ARE stories that is the most important criticism. Unless of course you just watch movies to stare up at the pretty colors and do as little thinking as possible.

Telling someone they have a problem for enjoying a fucking movie? That's some fucked up fuckwad bullshit. Fuck you.

How about you suck my dick instead?

I figured you to be a coward closet homo. That's why you're so fucking needy to point your fuckwad finger at someone because they enjoyed a fucking movie.

What a complete piece of shit you are.

Hey man I'm as much entitled to my opinion as you are. And my opinion is that movie sucked and if you liked it, well, I feel sorry for you. Sorry.

I have no fucking problem with your fucking opinion of the movie you elitist fuckwad. I have a big fucking problem with you thinking I have a problem because i can kick the fuck back and enjoy a fucking movie.

You are the exact fucking reason why I couldn't give 1 single fuck about trying to get along with gfyers. Because it fucking doesn't matter if I do fun threads like this. Fuckwad piece of shit cocksuckers like you will try and insult over it.

Fuck you.

Nevermind, GFY asshole.

Fuckwad hanging out on gofuckyourself and thinking he's special because he's a fucking movie snob.

Jesusfuckingchrist what a complete fuckwad.

Fuck you, you stupid fuckwad elitist cocksucker. Fuck right the fuck off out of my fucking thread.

Your movie sucks and so do you lol

Yes I'm a movie snob/elitist. I want the movie industry to start making good shit again and stop catering to braindead zombies like you.

Not every fucking movie is gonna star meryl streep. And that has nothing to do with you being a major fucking party foul. I mean wow how much not fun are you? A lot.

I like debating the movie, not sure about where this thread ended up....

As Dyna said - different strokes!

And heads-up, party foul, I never exclaimed inception and interstellar were works of art, in fact what I claimed is that they have their fucking share of flaws in spite of being plotbased films.

Fuckwad.

I'm with you, its very fun. There's nothing wrong with not liking the movie. Or wherever anyone is on it.

Yup, that's how I am with most movies too. Any kind of movie could catch my eye or not. these days with the hassle of going to a movie, I've got to be pretty excited about it.

We have a local guy that built a replica of the first Mad Max car - right down to the blower unit. Takes it around to a few local car shows each summer. I've got pics of it somewhere, draws a crowd everywhere he goes.

Was hoping Nico-t would have come back with his review by now...

That is where it's at for me :thumbsup
