Go see it. Go see it right now. That is all.
-
is it good ?
i read it was "a man-hating feminist destruction of an American cultural icon", lol.
-
It was brilliant and a breath of fresh air in the stale movie world
-
From the reviews I've read: It's not a complex movie. It makes no pretenses at being 'great art' or anything like that, no super-complex story or deep looks at human nature.
What it is, is a good fun action flick with well-written characters, excellent filmography (practical effects still looking awesome over CGI), and good writing. While that may not have stood out once upon a time, it certainly does these days. If you don't like that kind of movie to begin with - well, can't help you there.

I looked over at my wife several times during some of the more insane action and was just like " I cannot believe miller convinced them to give him money and this actually got made!!".
It had a feing of barely contained mayhem that I found infectious. You'll either go along with it or check out early.

I've hard from buddies who actually work in film that its worth seeing in IMAX 3-D.

FanFuckingTastic.
Now, 2 things to point out, no spoilers ahead!
1. Having seen the other movies, and a thousand examples of apocalypse media, I was expecting 2 hours of browns and dull colors. To my surprise, every frame of this thing is bursting the color palette. When every square inch of the vehicles and shelters looks truly lived in, they don't just look like rust and sheet metal, people spruce up things important to them. It took me aback, especially compared to the other films.
2. Because of the above, visually, Fury Road sometimes reminded me of (you'll think this is bizarre)....Redline (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRLPdgcGPRg).

Saw it on Saturday with my brother, was well worth the price of admission. As Esna and Graelyn said, though it makes no pretenses, an immersive level of detail makes it easy to suspend disbelief and enjoy the tale.

We will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

That's awesome.
This movie was awesome.
I need to try and drag more of my family to see it.

A very Minmatar sort of film. Right down to the prosthetics. You could drop the warboys and the whole shiny & chrome meme into Matari society & it would fit right in.
Saw it, loved it. Especially liked the fight when Max first runs into Furiosa.
I was impressed by the amount of character development that was crammed into an action film. I wish other film makers would take note.

PLOT TWIST
Fury Road takes place on Matar after the Eve Gate collapse.

Bahahahaha. That's great.

It's because Miller firmly believes in 'show, don't tell'. There's lots of teensy tiny things in there that build the world and character without a single line being spoken. We don't need to be told about what the war boys worship; their actions over the duration of the chase show us their believes.
Also, some fun facts about that flamethrowing guitar:
- It was an actual flamethrowing guitar.
- It weighted about 60 kilos / 132 pounds. There's a reason both guitar and player are suspended on bungie cords.
- The makeup covered the actor's actual eyes, and because of application time he had to spend several hours wearing it every day. Other crew would help him around the set.
- Apparently the guitar itself sounded horrible. The actor - iOTA - said he wouldn't want to record with it, but thought it was appropriate to the setting.
- The mask he wears is apparently supposed to be his mother's skull. Apparently his backstory is that Immortan Joe found him in a cave, his mother having been killed by raiders; being blind and thus not much good in a fight, he decided 'fuck them, if I can't fight I'm gonna ride into battle with a metal guitar and inspire other people to fight them!'

I am imagining a blind Brutor strapped to a Sleipnir, wielding an electric guitar. His job is to play rustcore, which is broadcast to the rest of the Matari fleet to inspire them.

You both win the thread!

That or it's just a documentary about Aussies getting lost in the outback.
But yeah, this is the most batfuck Minmatar movie I've ever seen and I fuckin' loved every minute of it. It's like a good old Vagabond, starting off at crazy speeds and then just fuckin' accelerating until something ends.
-
This is me trying to win the thread in overtime, showing myself as I went to see the movie.
Witness me!
(Especially my forehead.)

I watched it the other night where I coulnd't sleep (thanks Seraphim for the voucher). I really liked it though. It delivered exactly what I expected: Madness and explosions.
