The original "Mad Max" is my favorite movie of all time. While that will likely not change, that looks worth watching for sure. | ||

I have taken MAY 15 off to go see this. (In I-max 3D if possible) I have always loved the films, and if the wife would go along, I would take a second mortgage for an XB interceptor replica build. While downloading an earlier Fury Road trailer a few months ago, due to bandwidth, the screen kept freezing. It was actually a blessing, because it allowed me to carefully survey every inch of the screen in hi def. Visually I have not seen more care in framing for each shot in a long time. There is virtually something to see in every inch for every second. Story or no, my pupils are gonna dilate when the screen lights up! | ||

Looks pretty cool, I just wish, OCCASIONALLY, they would realize it's possible to make a scifi movie that's NOT set in a dystopian future. That s**t gets old. | ||

Hugh, I'm witcha- I've always been a sci-fi buff... I rarely leave a movie re-writing the entire screenplay in my head... Ender's Game could've been SO much better. I've always enjoyed Dune- read the entire series twice, SUCH a good run! Sting as Feyd Rautha was fun, as was the whole Harkonnen clan! You know, I've never seen "Time Rider". Dang. | ||

Shut up and take my money! I like dystopian movies. One has to draw some sort of conclusion from the pantheon of dystopian movies. They keep making them, and we keep buying tickets. They must speak to us. We must relate. Could it be that as much as we attempt to assure ourselves that everything is going to be ok that deep down we know something bad is coming? | ||

" Ender's Game could've been SO much better. " Yeah, they could have simply followed the book. | ||

I was really hoping for the Mayan Apocolypse.... just like Y2K - I know there are a lot of soft shelled politicians that would not make it to the other side. I am fine with that. | ||

Looks good. But I'll probably wait till it hits redbox, where I can enjoy it in the comfort of my own home without dealing with certain people. | ||

I know there are a lot of soft shelled politicians that would not make it to the other side. It's YOU and I that won't make it to the other side. The politicians have bunkers they can go to if they can make it there. | ||

I can't help but feel that I'd be sitting in the cinema mumbling away like some old git. "Hah, call that Mad Max? we had proper Mad Max in my day, who's this tosser I've never heard of, Mel Gibson would have done it better..." | ||

I actually like Tom Hardy. He was great as Bane and also very good in the Warrior. He's actually a great choice for Mad Max, IMO. | ||

Yeah, it unfortunately looks to be following the path taken by some remakes/sequels with an "over-the-top" Hollywood approach- which I usually don't care for. "Mad Max" and "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" worked for me because they were real, gritty, and non-Hollywood in their "rawness". This appears to be aiming for the "bigger, louder, and more spectacular" which, to me, usually results in "ridiculous, over-the-top, and did I really waste my money on this crap". I could be wrong, but judging by the trailer- I expect to be disappointed. | ||

"ridiculous, over-the-top, and did I really waste my money on this crap". Redbuell,only if it were directed by Michael Bay. The fact that it is directed and produced by George Miller and the gang that made the first films means the original feel should still be there. He also acknowledges the film is set between the second and third films, so it looks like he recognizes where the story should be. I'll admit given the audiences expectations of today, it definitely will be bigger, louder, and more spectacular. The fact that it was always a bit short on story and strong on action was it's worldwide appeal. I'll bet you could watch "Mad Max" in a foreign language, with no subtitles, and not miss a bit of the story. The first two films were grittier because the budget was modest,and the studios didn't want to risk a lot of money on post production image work. (Budget and story wise, it has more in common with "The Born Losers than "Dr. Zhivago". The third Max film had studio confidence, a bigger budget and more story,(subterfuge and personal conflict,) the budget shows in the framing, color and all of the great flyover shots, but for me all that dialogue wore the edge off. Also the stunts in those films were real, not CGI. According to the "Fury Road" fan site, George Miller insisted on doing as many stunts with live action as the studio would sign off for rather than CGI. Today films like "Fury Road" are the norm, not the exception. Studios leave the deep storytelling and character development to TV now, where you can take hours to tell a back story. In a theater, you've got about 100-150 minutes to dazzle. With films as sensory as this, I think the disappointment would be seeing it on a small screen with no surround sound. | ||

That can't be Mad Max, the steering wheels are on the left side of the vehicles. |
