Reviews have been good so far and some are even calling it one of the best action movies filmed in a long time. I heard the action starts right from the beginning till the end which is just what I was hoping for.
Will be watching this in IMAX 3D this Friday.

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.

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?

Watched it again a second time in 2D after watching in IMAX 3D. There are certain parts which were made to be enjoyed in 3D. Especially at the end when the guitar and steering wheel gets thrown out of the screen in slow motion. It looked so real I can almost touch it.
You still won't miss much if you don't watch in 3D though. But watching in IMAX is a must, everything just looks bigger and clearer.

I watched it on Friday night and Saturday afternoon and surprisingly the halls weren't even half full. Guess not too many people are pumped up for this.
I was expecting it to be crowded like when Furious7 was released since people who like those kinda movies will probably also come to see this. But there wasn't even any queue during the weekend.

As much as giving all the love to George Miller, it's worth noting the studio did stand behind the problematic production and topping up budget as things got behind schedule many times over. They insist to reshoot second half of the movie after seeing the first 42 mins because of how much they believe in it.
Let's hope the movie will have legs to see through fast tracking of sequel/s. Mad Furiosa's script already brewing according to some of the candid interview.

Tom Hardy signed on to play Mad Max 3 more times but it depends on how well the movies does.

So far its looking pretty good.

Pitch Perfect 2 beat Mad Max at no 1 in the U.S. Box office by a huge margin. lol

It's the other way round in the global box office though.


Oh and if you watch it in IMAX, you get to see the Batman VS Superman trailer and also like a 15 minute clip from Tomorrowland which was pretty cool.

A sequel might not be confirmed yet but the planned title is Mad Max: The Wasteland. Furiosa might not return though.

I watched it a 3rd time and brought one of my girlfriends and at the end of the movie she said that if she watched it any longer she would have fallen asleep. I felt like bitch slapping her.

Anyway.. the rating at RT is still "stuck" at 98% and fully deserves it.
