I tried to watch the standard copy last night. Just too tired.
Im gonna watch the 3d copy in a few hours.

I didnt see the 3d of the film in theaters. So i am anxious to see this

My father ran over and dropped off the blu. Gonna watch tonight. If it's as great as you all say, I'll pick up a copy tomorrow (or my 2 year old or 4 year old will hold it while sitting in the shopping cart and we'll accidentally steal it). Either way, my dad was about to throw out his slip, so I put it in my box of blu-ray slips.

Best Buy offered me $25 gift card today and lowered the price of the 3D version to match the $19.99 steelbook price. Funny thing is, this same Best Buy was offering $10 yesterday instead of $25.

At least they are trying to make up for their ineptitude. Still it sucks that some of yall missed out on the steelbook. Best Buy should just make more and do another limited run and guarantee a steelbook for all the people that didnt get one.

well tomorrow i will make a decision wheter or not to get anthology or get fury road seperated or not i have seen the other 3 movies btw

i guess question is do i want to spend 53,54 or 55 bucks whatever cost is on anthology or just get 3 other movies either in that mad max steelbook or if sam goody got the discs without steelbook

boy it sucks my stupid little town don't have a best buy nor a target meh

[jonboy71]

That'd be called "doing the right thing". We cannot have that!

The first portion of this movie is breathtaking in 3D

And that's why with Best Buy, I don't do in store pick up for steelbooks. I'd rather chance getting a slight dent in the mail than deal with them overselling their product by not putting the reserves aside first.

[HD Canuck]

Just wondering, does the Mad Max anthology set have digital copies?

[PeroK3]

Reserved it online yesterday and went to pick it up shortly after. The guys at Best Buy spent 20 minutes looking for it and eventually just told me they'd order it for me and give me a discount. As I go to pay at the counter, one of the employees walks up with a copy and gives it to me and they also gave me a $12 discount!!

I was estatic. This steelbook is beautiful

Fiddled with the frame rates for BAD effect! Don't get me wrong, I think this is a really good movie and I found the production design of the vehicles and the choreography of the action sequences to be amazing....BUT...the completely unnecessary speeding up of the frame rate during so many sequences (especially bad during the initial chase of the movie) just made it seem almost laughable at times.

The important phrase here is "completely unnecessary" as there are numerous other sequences in this beautifully photographed movie that aren't sped up and are just as exciting. The sped up scenes remind me of Sean Connery fights during early Bond films where the punches were always sped up to make them look more exciting...I don't think its a good or necessary effect in 2015.

if you watched the Road Warrior every other day as a kid like I did then every frame (sped up or otherwise) of this movie was awesome to you.

[Ironhorse75]

Is this the transfer of the year?

[Michael24]

Yeah, sped up frames is definitely something I've never liked, in any film. Unless it's being used for comic effect (e.g. the Three Stooges running away), it's always bugged me. That said, I found it tolerable in Fury Road because I only really notice it a few times during exterior daytime scenes. The tunnel scenes early on are rather dark, so I don't really spot it there unless I'm specifically looking for it. But overall, it's an effect that normally just feels corny and can take me out of a moment when I see it.

That's exactly the reason it bothered me... it took me out of the moment every time it happened...and since i was enjoying this visually stunning movie so much, every time it happened it bugged me a little bit more

F***in' loved the sped up frame rate shots.



Just being contrarian.

[explorer6]

Looking over Miller's credits it's kind of funny he goes from Mad Max to like Happy Feet and Babe and then back to Mad Max. What a contrast.

[Zero_Cool]

Are the other Mad Max films like this one? I was not sure how they stand up next to one another. Not sure if I should try to go after the others or look for other films.
