I dragged myself out of the house to catch a late Saturday morning matinee of this. Was mostly bored the first hour or so but then it got really interesting once the bullet farm scene near the end rolled. No chance of another followup since this bombed badly but that's OK. This story is already played out.

 

[Tino]

I thought it was great and undeserving of its boxoffice disappointment. Seeing it again tomorrow one last time in IMAX.

Agreed. Very appreciative of the ways things were tied together.

 

[Osato]

I loved the film too.

 

[cineMANIAC]

I'll have to revisit the film on physical media to see how events "tie together" but, frankly, I'm not invested enough into the mythology of these films to worry about the connections between films. I agree with the large number of folks who say a prequel wasn't necessary so the story tropes and connections aren't something I think I genuinely want to explore further. This was basically George Miller indulging in his obsession with the character and Mad Max universe.

I watched a Youtube documentary where George Miller talked about the franchise since before its inception. I was floored when he revealed that Mel Gibson was set to reprise his role in Fury Road (something I did not know previously). Sadly, studio politics and other issues kept delaying the film so Gibson bowed out after years of setbacks. Can't wrap my mind around Gibson potentially being in Fury Road. Too bad it didn't work out; still, Fury Road was fantastic.

Agree- Fury Road is pretty great as is, but would have been even better with Gibson in it.

I'll pick this one up. Was great on the big screen.

 

[Osato]

I plan to buy. Loved the film!

 

[SD_Brian]

Not sure why they can't just release the Black and Chrome edition at the same time and bundle it with the theatrical version. It's almost like they're hoping we'll buy the same movie twice. No, that couldn't be!

Also, with that fugly cover art, it's almost like they're hoping we'll spring for one of the steel books.

[Tino]

This should be included as a free extra just like Mad Max Fury Road B&W.

 

[SD_Brian]

I've only watched the Black & Chrome edition of Fury Road once and, while it was an interesting novelty at the time, I didn't think it really enhanced the experience (YMMV). This mini trend of releasing black and white versions of color movies is an odd one. The inventors of digital colorization must be rolling in their graves right now.

If there was a single release of Furiosa that included both the color and B&C versions, I would snap it up in a heartbeat. However, if they are expecting me to buy two separate releases, or to buy a box set of 4 movies I already own + Furiosa just get the B&C version of Furiosa, sorry but that's a hard pass.
