Am i wrong in thinking this movie will ne be replicated again, Like i literally think no one else could of made this movie besides George?
not Cameron, not Mctiernan in his prime or any other great action directors or directors in general
a lightning in a bottle within a bottle

Can we put George Miller in the action pantheon alongside Cameron, Mctiernan etc. etc.?
Road Warrior and Fury Road should already cement this

I saw this in the theater, but my brother in law and nephew wanted to come along. So we waited until we got to the theater to buy tickets. We were early, but it didn't matter. There were three seats left. Two front row left and one front row right. I took the front row right, so not only was I in the front row I was at the edge of the screen. The seats reclined, but it was still uncomfortable. Five minutes into the movie and it didn't matter, I was completely engrossed.
I don't think so. It's not on the 4K Blu-ray and although the 4K version on iTunes includes it, I just checked and it only plays in HD.
Those flashback hallucinations are one of the few aspects of the movie that I felt were flawed. They're blunt, jarring, really convienent (ie Max covering his face, blocks the crossbow bolt), and don't really fit with the other storytelling which is largely subtle/visual
He didn't "go wrong"with MM1. 90% of the people who've seen Fury Road probably haven't seen MM1. It's a low budget thriller that only becomes what the series is known for in the last 5 minutes.
Thunderdome simply loses its way for too significant a chunk of its running time to be great, but otherwise Miller's chops as an action director and world builder are still on screen.
I wish this were true.
Sadly, as usual we have the alt-right shitheads calling the movie anti-men.
I missed it in the cinema and saw it for the first time a year ago. It exceeded all expectations. I rewatched it a couple of weeks ago and I could've easily chucked it back on again the following day. That just doesn't happen for me with films, at least not since I was a kid.
Without a doubt one of my favourite films, and quite possibly at the top of the table for action in particular.

Now that I think about it we probably won't ever get the wasteland. Miller is doing that epic romance fantasy film with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton next, plus the whole lawsuit thing. Maybe it's good to end the series with the masterpiece that is Fury Road
I know it's traditionally said that Furiosa is the true hero of the movie, but watching it again, idk I always feel like Max "does more" like he contributes a lot more in combat and was more cruicial to the groups survival at various moments. The ending fight was pretty much mostly Max too
