Mad Max: Fury Road (DVD)

Awesome movie. Lots of outlandish characters and expertly paced action. It's a reeling journey from start to finish, with a great ending. Somehow it's utterly serious and dramatic, while also absurd and insane. Fast paced but good character development through what is basically a straight shot storyline. Beautiful cinematography and stark imagery. And seeing it in 4K with proper HDR was a sight to behold!

cult classic, best one.

I mean my headline says it all, THIS IS THE MANLIEST MOVIE EVER MADE. It is a 2 hour, testosterone fueled action packed extravaganza. Literally everything that is alive and breathing in this movie is completely badass. Watching Mad Max Fury Road changed my life forever, literally. After I watched it, I went in the bathroom to release the case of beer I unknowingly consumed throughout the course of this masterpiece, only to not recognise my reflection in the mirror. I was 1 foot taller, 76 pounds heavier, absolutely ripped, and I somehow grew the most glorious and magnificent beard this world has ever seen. I went to gasp since I was caught off guard by what I saw, but all I could do was bellow a guttural roar that shattered the mirror and made it burst into flames while a brief guitar solo played from thin air. I quickly left the bathroom in a state of utter confusion in an attempt to discuss this with my girlfriend who had also watched the movie with me, however she was no longer in the living room. It was at this time, that I realized our three harmless dogs must have watched the it with us as well, because they had been transformed into massive, ravenous wolves. I quickly charged torwards the front door in an attempt to escape these beasts as they snarled and snapped at my leather boots that had also appeared at some point during the course of all of this. I barely escaped certain death as I slammed the door behind me, but not before one of them had managed to take a chunk of flesh from my shoulder, which I was able to quick patch up with my new found field training abilities. Still in my state of confusion, I peered into the darkness of my normally quiet neighborhood, attempting to gather my bearings and figure out where an insanely loud noise was coming from when BAM! My girlfriend comes flying through the midnight sky, over my house and lands in front of me on a battle worn Harley Davidson with exhaust pipes spewing flames from the back, chains hanging from the sides, and human skulls mounted on each handlebar. Before I could even question this, our newly transformed wolf beasts busted down the door and started charging at the same moment my neighbors house exploded as a convoy of war machine death vehicles smashed through it. I quickly jumped on the back of her Harley and we charged down the street, with the caravan following close behind. I reached down into the saddle bag to find a double barreled sawn off shotgun and a hand full of shells, so I loaded the shot gun, and jumped onto the roof of the war machine behind us, blasted the driver through the roof of the car, and swiftly got inside and took control of the vehicle. With his bloody carcass in the passenger seat, and one shell left in the gun, I smashed the side of the car into another vehicle which was racing along side of me, and shot his front tire out, resulting in him losing control of the vehicle. His car flipped two times into the bloodthirsty wasteland caravan and bursted into a flaming ball of destruction, buying us just enough time to get away and for me to share my review...

Although it lacks the emotional depth of "The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max" this movie is still well worth watching for its edge-of-the-seat action sequences and the performances by Charlize Therion and Tom Hardy. The story line is straightforward: In a post-apocalyptic world Therion is bent of rescuing a small group of young women who have been used as breeding stock by an aging madman. Pursued by the madman's minions, including the mysterious Max, who is himself being used in a hellish way, Therion and Hardy reluctantly join forces in an effort to save the young women. Hardy brings much of the intensity to his role as Max that a young Mel Gibson did when he originated the character. Therion turns in an excellent performance as the warrior woman trying to rescue the young women. The writers gave her a prosthetic arm in this movie, which she uses to great effect in some of the fight scenes. The dialogue is not award-winning, though I honestly didn't expect it to be given the fact that this movie is essentially one long chase through what's left of the world. I didn't consider this to be a real problem since the production was designed as an action/adventure and not a philosophical ramble through the darkness of some men's souls. The action is vivid, the special effects are extraordinary and together they make up for the lack of pithy dialogue. Not a classic but for action/adventure fans "Mad Max: Fury Road" is both interesting and fun to watch.

Film ist schon auf Blue-ray rein optisch von höchster Qualität. In 3D und auf großem Bildschirm fühlt man sich regelrecht wie im Film.

one of the best action movies of all time. looks fantastic on 4K

Che dire? Mi aspettavo qualcosa di avvincente, ma guardandolo al cinema sono rimasto assolutamente travolto! Un film che è tutta una corsa (con però dei sapienti e necessari rallentamenti) e che in alcuni momenti ha delle accelerazioni furiose (praticamrnte la prima mezz'ora stordisce): di una furia audiovisiva e di messa in scena quasi Wagneriana. E' come se ogni tanto si scatenasse la Cavalcata delle Valchirie in questo spazio infinito e indefinito, tra far west postmoderno e viaggio nel nulla (sfruttando location pazzesche, tra Australia e Africa). Uno spazio dove si svolge una storia apparentemente lineare e semplice (si scappa, ci si ribella, si parte al contrattacco) ma dove, nell'azione pura del film, emergono personaggi ruvidi, sorprendenti e per nulla banali. E con un nemmeno troppo nascosto discorso femminista, che spicca proprio nella mascolinità del tutto. Forse un po' semplicistico, ma di sicuro effetto. Un film che è una lezione di cinema (inteso proprio come movimento, azione, racconto per immagini e suoni) che diventa quasi un'esperienza sensoriale (e il Blu Ray è fenomenale, quasi a livello di una visione al cinema: ma evitate il 3d, tanto è posticcio e il 2d basterà per stravolgervi). Una lezione data, da un ultrasettantenne, ai tanti, troppo fighetti degli ultimi due decenni. E sì, si chiama George MIller, ha fatto il primo Mad Max (e poi inaspettati film come Babe il maiallino...!) ma aveva promesso che sarebbe tornato....per rifarlo più cazzuto che mai, con i mezzi che al tempo non aveva. Stavolta glieli hanno dati: e mai un budget fu speso così bene.

Loved the movie <3

劇場では5回も観てしまったので字幕も割と覚えていますし、 そもそもセリフが少ない映画なので海外版を先行購入してしまいました。 ３Dと２DのBDとDVDの３枚組ですが、アプコンだとDVDも結構きれいだと思います。 BDはオールリージョンなので基本的にどんな機器でも再生できますが、DVDはリージョン１ のためパソコンでの再生になりました。ちなみに意外と英語字幕も役立ちました。 ３Dはアナグリフメガネで鑑賞してますが、劇場で観たときよりも若干立体感が強いかも。 特典映像はメイキングやインターセプターの解説などがありますが、YouTubeで流れていたものよりも 遥かに豊富な内容でした。こちらは日本語字幕が欲しいところです。 新作なので当然でしょうが画質・音質共にかなり良好ですので、低価格化後には２D国内版も追加購入 したいですね。
