What else can I say?
Mad Max: Fury Road is as amazing as the hype suggests. At last, we can see just how much can be achieved with BOTH 2015-level technology AND a 1980s sense of restraint when it comes to computer graphics. It's been a long time since I've been so wowed by a movie and impressed with the stunts (*insert polecat gif here*).
The world-building is great too, far more thorough than any of the previous Mad Max movies could ever hope to achieve. The increased budget clearly shows. I find it mildly hilarious that the director of Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet (good movies in their own right) could also create such a well-developed post-apocalyptic vision.
I hear what you guys are saying about grain, but I quite like the visual aesthetic of the movie. Thank god they didn't go with the vintage, over-used desaturated look! Instead, Fury Road is strangely one of the more colorful movies in recent memory with the flares and everything. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up once timed for black and white.
Question for those who've also seen the movie. I could have imagined it, but was that the skull and cap of the Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence) we saw on one of the War Boy's cars when they first set off after Furiosa? To think, I thought he was perfectly safe and married at the end of the Road Warrior!
