The other really admiring qualities of the movie is how they manage to establish action sequences geographically. No matter how quick were the edits,you are fully aware what is going on and can follow the flow of the crazy action without losing track.

Dang! Just found out we missed out some milk maiden story bits about the war boys. They could be the ladies who release the waterfall near the end of the movie.

Just read on reddit that the director dropped the frame rate in some of the sequence to make it snappy. Love the editing style.

QUOTE
The frame rate was also manipulated to achieve a desired effect. "Something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate," said Seale. "It'll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn't understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could. Or if it was too well understood, he'd shorten it or he'd speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense."

Yeah, Max doesn't deliver lah. I think the movie can also forgone him. Furiosa alone can kick ass.

What a movie. I must say i enjoyed this immensely, more so than some of blockbusters i've seen this year. Story is a bit meh but the action sequences are amazing. Felt like it was one set piece after another. The film just didn't seem to hit the breaks at all. It was relentless.

For some weird reason, i actually dig the warboys a lot. I found em strangely cool. I love how the film spent the time to flesh out the culture and way of life. Great world building.

Tom Hardy was decent as Max but Charlize Theron oh my goodness, what a character and hero. Furiosa is perhaps the most badass female hero i've witnessed on the big screen. It got to a point where she was all i cared about in the film. Everyone else could die or whatever.

Watching it in IMAX was amazing. Even though the 3D wasn't much, it was still a lot better than Furious7 and The Avengers where the 3D was non existent. There's this part where everything gets thrown out of the screen which was really cool.

Wow...kick ass movie. Story is servicable (Tom Hardy's accent is weird), but those action scenes. Ridiculously and over the top awesome. I love the BGM truck and the flaming guitarist. I really had a good time watching this. Awesome fun.

Holy fuaaarrkk..... rclxms.gif

Watched it yesterday night, normal 2D.

The movie exceeded even my wildest expectations!

The first 10-15 min was a little weird, what with all the insane ala 'culture shock' that I was seeing. I didn't see the original Mad Max films, so the world was new to me.

Right from the get go itself I was transfixed to the action - - over the top and so damn well put together.

There are so many insane stunts in the movie that there isn't one I didn't like or was there even any action pieces to be disliked, it was just too damn good. nod.gif

After the movie, I was still so freakin pumped with adrenaline, and the one question that kept popping into my mind was how the bloody hell did they just pull that off.

It feels to me the movie used a lot of practical effects and little CGI (except perhaps the storm / the death scenes / flying bodies etc.). It is a really remarkable feat of achievement and a testament that it takes one bloody good visionary director to be able to put something like this together.

Of course, kudos to Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult and too, and the women too, total eye candy in a world stark/devoid of beauty.

With all that said, I so wish I could have popped right back into the cinema for a second viewing... but I was exhausted at the end of the work week. tongue.gif Will be watching this again soon.

Pros:
+ Insane over-the-top action sequences
+ Car chases and stunts
+ The post-apocalyptic world itself
+ Breakneck pacing from start to finish
+ The bad guys
+ The guitarist; come on now... how bloody cool was that

Cons:
- Almost none, perhaps audience need a little bit of acclimation time to embrace the world

Easily a 10/10 for me, warranting another view soon smile.gif D-Box perhaps? Hehe...

It takes a 70 year old director to show everyone exactly how an over the top action movie should be done without needing a dumb plot. And how many have you seen where both good and bad guys are equally bad ass?

That's because a scene involving those chubby girls being "milked" was cut by either the censorship board or the distributor.

just watched it few hours ago.

and

I URGE YOU TO SEE IT IN CINEMA AND EXPERIENCE THE AMOUNT OF MADNESS AND INSANITY!!! I AM DEAD SERIOUS!!!!

The plot is very very easy to understand as the scene goes by, like hot knife cut into butter, never seem sluggish for even 1 minute. In contrast, The Age of Ultron.......

No words nor sentences can describe how good the action scenes are. Big, fast paced action yet still can clearly know what is going on; very little action movie can achieve that height, include those big movie with billions USD budgets. It is like eating a very nice meal with adequate mount and knowing how good it taste with each bite.
The guitar frame thrower and the sound effect is AWESOME!!!!
The love scene and bath scene is just nice, no awkward kissing scene thumbup.gif
Furiousa is much much more badass than black widow thumbup.gif

100% for me

FF7 looks like kids play when you compare it to this one!

A simple plot and one heck of an action sequence!

2d, for me that is more than enough since the movie originally shoot in 2D format.
