Yeah, everything you guys are saying is right (except for I RIDE DUNES OKAY guy). I'm gonna add one other thing. I posted earlier about the sense of danger I felt for everyone of the good guys. I also felt a tremendous amount of emotion for them too, like tears in my eyes, way more than I thought for a movie made out of engine grease. I was pulled hard out of my seat by the power and weight of the movie's many arcs and character lines, and I don't think I was alone, even if it didn't register consciously on some people maybe. What a fucker of a movie.

Shageletic posted:I just want to pipe about how powerful this movie is. I looked around the theater during the third act, and everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, fingers scraping against their armrests, nary a word or a cellphone light to be seen, in a theater that's kinda notorious for that kind of thing. The power of flamethrowers and grenade spears I guess. Someone's phone went off in my theater and they were sacrificed to Immortan Joe.

My theater on Saturday only had 15 people in it, and we were the youngest by half in our late 20s. Most folks were greyhairs who were chatting about seeing Road Warrior in theaters before it started, including a couple old dudes going solo who looked like they might've just walked out of the desert with wrinkly leather skin and white ponytails. People were cracking up throughout the movie in enjoyment, at the sheer craziness of every new character and design that would appear. After the first big chase sequence when it's quiet and Max is in the sand, several people just broke out chuckling in a "well we just watched that sequence happen" sort of way. And some old folks clapped with glee at the end, so that isn't just a millennial thing or whatever. Did some chatting with them in the hall after about it since the place was pretty empty. I had a lot of fun, I don't mind theater noise and it's a bit more knowing than kids cheering out during Avengers. Some ladies in their 30s were in the DBOX seats and I kept hearing reaction laughs during the rough chase scenes, might try out those seats if I see it again. e: Meaning to contrast the "awe of silence" other people experienced.

Why are we having a discussion about realism again? If someone wants to be that nitpicky and destroy their own enjoyment of a good film, let them. I'm just happy I don't have to experience movies that way.

Ramsus posted:wrong, and this chase is better than any convoluted mess in fury road Except the air intake and button push supercharger was completely fabricated prop. So no, it was not actually possible. I'm in a class with kids mostly 15-18 years younger than me and most did not like it because they couldnt figure out what was going on. Seriously. Most of them saw FF7 and thought it was amazing and lusted after the vehicles. I saw FF7 with them and they got annoyed I was laughing through the whole movie from all the ridiculous punishment they put the cars through. THAT poo poo made no sense. Also did that dumb poster earlier not know the value of O- blood with transfusions? I had to explain that to almost all the kids today.

drunkill posted:Here are the (major) filming locations for Mad Max 1-3. Just to be the sperging Mad Max shitcunt I am, I have to make this more accurate. MM1: Outskirts of Melbourne and Geelong (When they got in trouble for filming around Melbourne) MM2: Silverton (Tiny town very close to Broken Hill) MM3: Majority of locations filmed in and around Sydney (Glebe, Kurnell, Homebush, Katoomba) with a chunk of the final act filmed in Coober Pedy in South Australia. Also: South Western Australia doesn't have dirt.

All the Mad Max movies are basically postapoc spaghetti Westerns- they rely on a similar distortion of reality while maintaining a "gritty" appearance.

Saw it again today in 2D this time, using the excuse that I needed to see both to compare (personal opinion that 2D is better because the better colours make up for the lack of some depth). I only saw Age of Ultron like a week or two back and while I remember both movies very clearly nothing about AoU makes me think "yeah I need to see this on the big screen" except maybe the Hulkbuster fight which is over in what, two minutes?* Whereas with Fury Road I can think of like five things I really really want to see again before it leaves cinemas. *And spoiled all to hell and back. Between trailers and clips we'd seen half of the fight before the movie was even out.

gently caress yes. gently caress. Yes. Electromax posted:To be fair, when they said "we're making Mad Max 4" in 2010, everyone pretty much said this with Road Warrior instead of Fury Road. If it's the same crew and the same passion in effort but bigger/crazier, it isn't that unlikely. It's not entirely unlikely, you're right. I suppose I'm so jaded by the slew of lacklustre sequels to great movies or even sequels to good reboots that I'm not holding my breath. Again, like I said before I hope I'm incredibly wrong. I mean you're right, there was no way for any of us, even the most optimistic, to know ahead of time that Fury Road would turn out the way it did. LingcodKilla posted:I'm in a class with kids mostly 15-18 years younger than me and most did not like it because they couldnt figure out what was going on. Seriously. Welp, that seals the deal for me. Nuke this gay earth and let these kids fend for themselves in a world forged in fire and blood because if this is the next generation, then we're all screwed anyway. Ramsus posted:-senses lizard approaching, focuses chi, stomps, kicks sideways scooping it to hand, eats This is my favorite dumb criticism that I've read here or anywhere and I can't stress enough how stupid it is that this scene bothered you so much.

Because of those FF7 loving/MM:FR hating kids and Pro Dune Riding Ramsus, I just want to see the world burn. Maybe I should do what Lord Humungus suggested in The Road Warrior and just walk away (from this computer).

I'm stoked to see this, and my girlfriend is too, but she has a question. Are there dogs, and do they die? This is very important. We tried watching the first one the other night. I'd forgotten about the bit in the forest. She didn't watch the movie past that point.

The only tactical realism thing that bothered me (well, bothered is a bad word; more like that I noticed) was that Charlize Theron was the only one without an Australian accent.
