Definitely picking this up. Saw it at the BFI IMAX last night and it's off the hook!

I will blind buy this movie I think i'll get the 3D version.

Been told by more than one reviewer to see this in 2D if possible. A shame they don't ever have a 2D IMAX option for a 3D IMAX film, but I guess this is a film that will punch you in the gut no matter the size of the screen.

I watched the first two Mad Max films in anticipation for this (for the first time). I enjoyed the concept and think the second built on the first, but this looks like another ballpark completely. Looking forward to seeing it over the next few days (as well as Tomorrowland).

I watched it last night. I left with that yucky morning taste in my mouth. My jaw must have been on the floor for the whole movie. It was stunning.
Never mind the Blu-Ray, just go and see it on the biggest screen you can find.

I hope that's tempt artwork. Of all the lovely posters doing the rounds for this, it'd be a sin to use such a shit cover.

I could only see it in 3D IMAX (well, fake IMAX), as my local aren't even showing it in regular 2D or 3D. I don't like 3D in general, but was actually really impressed by it here. I'd still have preferred to have seen it in 2D, but I had a great time nonetheless.

Why? It was a conversion.

EDIT: I don't even think it was proper IMAX either... why people don't research this stuff is beyond me.

3D conversions can be nicely done too, and a good IMAX blow up can also be nice.
You surely understand how people might actually know this stuff, right ?

[Ste7en]

Not really.

Personally, I hate conversions and I dislike 3D. IMAX is good if it was filmed that way.

Christopher Nolan gets me

BTW I've lost count of the forums I've seen where people were like "Eh? It is a conversion" etc.

I think Miller has gone on record saying he prefers the 2D versions, which was also the version that was pre-screened to critics.

Was there full 1:44 IMAX picture or? Would be cool to get a 1.78 IMAX blu-ray version

This is coming home

[bladelia]

The director actually prefers the 3D version

If you actually watch the Cannes panel, he doesn't state a preference for either. He obviously had to oversee the 3D conversion, so put a lot of effort into it - much like Guillermo del Toro's stance when converting Pacific Rim. Whether you see it in 3D or not, it's up to you and your stance on the format. I personally would like to see it on as big a screen as possible, which locally is an IMAX screen, but they are only showing it in 3D IMAX - so when I do see it, I will see it in 2D. More than a few reviewers I trust recommend seeing it in 2D over 3D.

So looking at a photo on eBay, the UK edition of the Anthology has the sh*tty versions of the releases missing extras & decent audio. Anyone know of another country in Europe releasing this properly? It will cost £50 to import the decent US version

My worst fears have been realised. As well as having the lossy Mad Max disc (which I kind of expected), it also has the lossy 25GB disc of the second film.

So which is the best version of the anthology ?

The US one is $79 (on amazon) - is that the one ? That's a lot more expensive than £27 on a.c.uk ?

Yeah, the US version is probably best if you're Region A capable. In the US set:
1 is Region A locked
2, 3 and 4 are region-free
The bonus DVD will be Region 1 (and slightly inferior to the EU and AUS discs due to the slightly lower resolution of NSTC).
