Constructed as an almost-two hour chase sequence (with only a 15-minute cooling-down period about halfway through), Fury Road combines the pyrotechnics of a Michael Bay extravaganza with the physics-defying razzle dazzle of a Fast and Furious outing. When we consider summer action films, this is what we think of. One can make a compelling argument that the movie may have been helped by the long delay - not only did it allow a younger man (with less baggage) to take over the lead but it gave Miller more time to refine the "spectacle" aspect which, in the final analysis, is by far Fury Road's biggest selling point. During the hiatus, he tried numerous times to get the project started but issues related to Mel Gibson's rise (and later fall) as Hollywood's biggest star and problems with finding a location kept the picture on the shelf after several mis-starts. The three decade gap between Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road was more a product of circumstances than a lack of effort on Miller's part.
Talk about taking things to a new level… Theaters showing Fury Road should have seat belts installed. George Miller uses a new cast and a sizeable budget to deliver the Mad Max film he always wanted to make but was never quite able to. Part reboot, part sequel, and part something entirely different, Fury Road takes us on a trip that is both like and unlike the earlier excursions.
30 years after last appearing on the big screen, Max roars back with a vengeance. There's no clearer or more succinct way to put it. That would be my only disappointment with the set, and realistically its a very small one, given the amount of other material that we've been given.Mad Max: Fury Road delivers.
Basically all the material everyone drops by the web site looking for from the original trilogy! The deleted scenes were interesting, but perhaps a little light on - we know from various interviews that there were other scenes shot, but I guess they were either deemed incomplete or not suitable to be put on the disc. I haven't checked through all the content yet, but the extras I've looked through so far are pretty exceptional - lots of cool behind the scenes stuff on the cars and stunts. As per the news below for August 19, all the releases appear to be the same as far as the extras content, so it's really just a question of whether you need 3D, or if you can't do Blu-ray yet and need a DVD. My copy arrived today, bundled with the Mad Max game, and is the standard Blu-ray release.
