Hi peeps, 

Time for some big vrooms! Didn't know what to expect from this one, but definitely had a good time. I was really impressed by the stunts and what felt like enormous sets/cars etc.

It's one that I haven't talked about with many people, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Oh what a Day, what a lovely Day!! 2 things first, best action Movie ever made and the proof that practical Effects always trump CGI. Over eighty percent of the effects seen in the film are practical effects, including stunts, make-up, and sets. CGI was used sparingly, mainly to enhance the Namibian landscape, remove stunt rigging, and for Imperator Furiosa's (Charlize Theron) left arm, which is a prosthetic limb. Tom Hardy was perfect for Max Rockatansky and i cant wait for Charlize Therons stand alone Movie. She is a perfect example that strong, good written female Characters are still possible in Hollywood. So glad that George Miller could make this Movie after his Trilogy in the 80´s. This was his dream, after the restrictions in technology in the 80´s, that he could do it now how he envisioned it. Pretty sure you would like the 80´s trilogy, it has a lot of background of Max and the World. Some trivia at last: Regarding the look of the film, director George Miller laid down two stipulations for the production to follow. Firstly, the cinematography would be as colorful as possible in order to differentiate the film from other post-apocalyptic movies, which typically have bleak de-saturated colors. During pre-production the initial concept was for a black and white film. However, producers strongly advised against this as they believed it would deter audiences (Miller's original concept would come to fruition and be released in the Mad Max Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition). Secondly, the art direction would be as beautiful as possible as Miller reasoned that people living in the post-apocalypse would try to find whatever scraps of beauty they could in their meager environment. Margaret Sixel (Editor) is director George Miller's wife. When she asked why he thought she should take on this project, as she had never edited an action film before, Miller replied, "Because if a guy did it, it would look like every other action movie." Sixel's work paid off; she received an Academy Award for Best Editing. I think you mean "post-apocalyptic" for the car designs.

One correction: It will not be Theron's prequel, as it takes place too far in the past for Theron to reprise her role. Furiosa will be played by Anya Taylor-Joy of "The Queen's Gambit" and The Witch.

Very fun watch Mary!! A criminally underrated Tom Hardy movie is called “Warrior”. I don’t want to get into the plot too much but I pray to god someone will do a reaction of it some day. So good, so emotional but so inspiring too. 🙏🏻

Tom Hardy also played Bane in Batman; thats why his voice sounds *kind* of familiar! Great reaction!

The term "nonstop thrill ride" gets thrown around a lot in movie descriptions, but here it was very apt.

Meh, CG looks every bit as good as practical if you do it right, today more so than ever. Practical effects are dope, but they can also be incredibly risky (don't even get me started on Apocalypse Now or any old production), cumbersome, and you still can't guarantee it will work out as well as it did here. The truth is that CG has gotten incredibly cheap, is another majorly exploited niche you can kind of easily leverage and, most of all, is every bit as indistinguishable as "bad" practical effects. For every movie botching some effects, I'll find you ten that messed up the wardrobe or setdesign or something else that is firmly practical. Different registers, in a manner of speaking, different tools for different purposes, and it always will be a matter of creative problem-solving. Whatever is easier to manage. When all is said and done though, this movie is still heavily spiked with both CG and plenty of compositing shots, and as someone who worked on many similar productions - as well as this one -, people making a huge deal about a movie relying on practical shots (which still happened a lot in the 2000s) while hundreds of underpaid VFX workers running the usual gamut of visual adjustments are mentally preparing to find their next job - it seems ever so slightly callous to me. Which is nothing to get overly upset about, it's not like I know the ins and outs of all the jobs I never took on myself. Still, compositing, in-painting, a huge amount of clean-up work, and, yes, actual CG work too was part of this movie. We're talking about at the very least a dozen hundred shots that received treatment beyond just color grading, this movie is like four fifths VFX work - admittedly on top of a very well performed, directed and shot practical scaffold. There is nothing special about it in that regard, much like the constant mention of Nolan and his love for doing it in camera feels often misplaced. I am all for romanticizing some dope stunts, but I won't throw my fellow artists under the bus for it. Without CG-anything and its cousins, this movie would have not been what it is and probably kinda sucked too, and I kind of can't get over how wrong people were and still are about the myth of a CG-free movie when the proof is right in this very pudding: it is, after all, chock-full with great digital artistry to a degree where you can't really have the practical side without the one relying on computers. And even if all the gorgeous matte paintings were somehow not digital, which is a laughable notion these days (although digital sets now kind of blur the lines between digital and practical)... you'd always be able to point at the heavily edited, fleeting ground textures or the super storm, which was very clearly CG and looked like a million bucks. Which it very well might have cost. Good CG is good. Good stunts are good. You need both for any semi-professional production, if only because you don't want your movie to devolve into agony. David Fincher being the obvious role model here, talk about invisible effects.

Anyone got some overlooked recommendations for that? From the top of my head I can think of Dredd, Snowpiercer, The Raid 1+2, Speed, Uncut Gems in an anxiety-ridden kind of way, Gravity... Hardcore Henry is the least well-known I can come up with, but I definitely like the concept. Oh, Apocalypto is another good one.

Michael Turpin

If we're throwing in recommendations quick shout out to Scott Pilgrim vs The World. It's really fun with some great cameos that you'll love

First Rated R movie I saw in a theater *without* being accompanied by a parent or legal guardian was "The Road Warrior" (or "Mad Max 2", depending on what country you're in). I think my two friends and I were the only people in the theater. It was ... amazing. Been almost 40 years and I've never forgotten how intense the experience was. Fury Road is George Miller's re-imagining of that great movie he did long ago. He lays it all on the line here with a bigger budget and no limits on the imagination, and I love what he comes up with. Really looking forward to watching it with you.

So glad you enjoyed it! Hell of a rush, isn't it? Some ideas for movie recommendations, after doing this one: The original Mad Max trilogy, for obvious reasons "Ronin", because great car chase scenes "The Old Guard", because Charlize Theron plays a badass so well

Tyler Foster

Ronin is great. The only one of the original Mad Maxes that I'm mixed on is the third one. Great concept, but gets a little lost in the middle. Good beginning and end though.

I think this is a sleeper hit for a lot of people. I saw it 4 times in the theater and it's always a pleasure seeing new people experience the insanity. The female characters in this show are so well done too. It's like you said, the movie is called Mad Max but he's not the focus.

Don Mayhem

I saw this movie twice in theaters. The part when Nux sacrificed himself after saying "Witness me," I said Witness. We have two former X Men actors in this movie plus Venom and now Clea. George Miller is the perfect director to making the Twisted Metal video game into a movie. There's going to be a sequel with Chris Hemsworth as the villain. Venom vs Thor in the sequel lol

Em McG

Mary is the art style you're thinking of "grotesque" ? That's the only thing I can think of although it doesn't fit quite right.
