Mad Max: Fury Road (4K Ultra HD Blu-ray) [4K UHD]

This is a fine adventure. The Mad Max universe is well represented, and the wreckage is excellent even if the digital effects are kind of obvious in some places. The action comes at a fast pace, making plot developments a little hard to follow sometimes, but who cares? We're there for the ride, and Charlize Theron, right? Besides...it's a great excuse to watch it again, and maybe again. Oh, yeah...Tom Hardy's pretty good too. I do hope there is a follow-up to this story line.

Excellent movie if you like Mad Max.

Good movie keeps you entertained throughout. Did notice a few mistakes while watching it a second time. The best one is I.V tubing is shown being cut with the chain, latter on when Max needs to give some of his own blood it now whole again! Opps!

Excelente

What an action packed movie! Very cool! Now if your name is Max I would not suggest watching it, you might get Mad.

Came on time, not damaged and great price

When I looked for this movie on DVD, it was a cheap rate and did not specify that it was coming from the UK. It also had a ship date similar to US shipping dates, so I thought nothing of it. The shipping was kind of high I thought at first and was six dollars. Two weeks later, I still didn't have the DVD, and found out when tracking that it was going to be shipped from the UK and I would get it sometime in October. I received it at the end of September, and it won't play on a US DVD because the format isn't correct. It costs more to return it and in shipping than it did for the DVD. AMAZON needs to take greater care on items shipped from outside the United States as far as quality of the products and where they are coming from and have it in letters next to the item description.

Do not buy this if you live in Canada. The DVD does not play in my DVD player which is new. I forgot I had ordered this and just went to go watch it and it won't play and says it's a restricted area. I hope they let me return it even though it's past the return time

Compre el DVD, ASIN B00QKS1XV6, todo perfecto, rápido como siempre, la portada y la contra portada están en inglés, pero el DVD viene con audio y subtítulos en castellano

Slow, uneventful, boring, and subtle. These are some of the words you'd never hear from any sane person describing Mad Max 4. Before I dig deeper I should probably let you know that I'm a twenty year-old man who only recently watched the original Mad Max trilogy, so I don't have any nostalgia attached to them. The first Mad Max film is genuinely considered mediocre by most people apart from proud Aussies, and my opinion was pretty much the same. It didn't leave a particularly lasting impression. The Road Warrior, however, is generally considered as one of the greatest action movies of all time. I was expecting a full-on action fest (much like Fury Road) but unfortunately what I got was a ponderous seventy minutes involving Max titting about with a colony of people protecting fuel before ending with a spectacular car chase. I was quite disappointed and can name several older action films that are far better than The Road Warrior (Terminator 2 and Hard Boiled to name two). Beyond Thunderdome is generally considered as the worst of the lot but to my pleasant surprise I actually enjoyed this the most out of the trilogy! It might have something to do with me being a massive Tina Turner fan, but I thought there was more action and better characters than the other two films. After being largely underwhelmed by the Mad Max trilogy, I had my expectations for Fury Road lowered. Pretty much every review I've read has been astonishingly glowing with many hailing it as one of the best action films of all time, but didn't they say that about The Road Warrior? Fury Road is directed by the same George Miller, a man now in his seventies who hasn't directed an action film since Beyond Thunderdome and whose recent credits include Happy Feet and Babe: Pig in the City, Mad Max 4 is bound to be pretty weak, right? Wrong. Believe the hype. Mad Max: Fury Road is an incredible feat. I have no idea how George Miller managed to pull out something so utterly spectacular out of his bag. Fury Road is the best action film I've seen since The Raid and has some of the best stunt work since The Dark Knight Rises. In my opinion it leaves the original Mad Max trilogy lying face down in the dust. Fury Road is the great big throbbing war machine whilst the original trilogy is some old rusty bicycle. The first ten minutes of Fury Road is far better than anything from Mad Max 1-3 and the entire two hour film definitely contains far more action than the first three films put together. Fury Road is amazing. It opens with an epic monologue from our new Max, Tom Hardy. Mel Gibson never did anything for me as Max. In fact, the character of Max never did much for me. I much prefer Tom Hardy as Max. His accent may be as muddled as Stu's tan in Mrs. Doubtfire but I think he has much more of a presence than Mel Gibson ever did. His famous interceptor is destroyed within the first five minutes which is obviously symbolic. Just like James Bond getting shot in the opening of Skyfall and a TV exploding in the opening of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, the interceptor getting totalled represents a new era of Mad Max. George Miller has completely cut the ties from the original films and quite rightly so! We get thrown into a huge world and feel fully immersed. The imagery is huge and epic. It feels like something from Lord of the Rings with some powerful masked weirdo sitting on a giant cliff and spilling gallons of water to his loyal pale-painted followers. The villain in Fury Road is basically Aunty Entity on acid and curiously similar to Tom Hardy's very own Bane. He's a brilliantly memorable villain who has his very own breast milk farm and an army of seriously sexy wives. It occurred to me about three quarters of a way through the film that I actually cared about the characters on the screen, which I've never felt before during a Mad Max film (apart from Tina of course). The action still comes first, but there's still some character development to keep you interested in the thin plot. Some have complained that Charlize Theron's Furiosa character takes over from Max but that didn't bother me at all. I love strong female characters and Furiosa is definitely that! I cared about the clan of oddballs and their goal. Enough, anyway, to make me care about who is in the action. Talking of action. Fury Road's action sequences are every bit as amazing as you've heard. It's a total intense onslaught of revving action from start to finish. Within the first thirty minutes, we're plunged into a fiery sandstorm with a furious army of vehicles in hot pursuit. I sat there completely mesmerised by what I was watching. There's a jarring moment shortly afterwards where Max slowly awakes from a pile of sand and the slowness of the scene is so bloody jarring! Ninety minutes of Fury Road is just pure full-throttle action. It's amazingly executed with so little CGI and jaw-dropping stunt work. The final chase sequence is completely exhausting. Fury Road is eye popping. I felt like Toe Cutter before he collides into a lorry in Mad Max 1 for most of it. Let's just hope that the sequel will be like The Raid 2. It could easily get better by putting as much focus on character development and plot as well as the action. The Raid 2 did exactly that and produced one of the best films of the twenty first century. As it stands though, Fury Road is a gigantic, towering achievement. You can almost feel the testosterone sweating off the screen. The Fast and Furious franchise can well and truly sod off.

DVD nicht in deutscher Synchronisation!!! Das ist mir noch nie passiert, dass ich sooo "gierig" auf eine DVD bin, dass ich es nicht mal mitbekommen habe, dass diese leider nicht in deutscher Synchronisation ist. Also, VORSICHT, wer die kaufen möchte und denkt, dass es die deutsche Version ist, das ist sie leider nicht.

This review is not a review about the film ( which I personally loved) there are plenty of reviews out there for that. What this review concerns itself with is the blu ray and what we get for our money What we do get is the following. We do have a UV copy with the blu ray, always good to have. There are six featurettes on the disc as follows. Maximum Fury- Filming Fury Road (28 mins). An excellent look at the film, the thought processes behind it and how it was shot. This gave great insight into how it came together visually. Mad Max- Fury on Four Wheels (22 mins). A look at all the vehicles of the film abdhow the designs of them came about. As they are so important to the film, this was great to learn more about. The Road Warriors: Max & Furiosa (11 mins). Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron talk about there characters and experiences as does the director George Miller .Insightful The tools of the Wasteland (14 mins) .Seeing some of the props. Good to see but limited as outside the vehicles, there were not that many. The Five Wives- So shiny, So Chrome (8 mins). A look at the supporting characters of the film. Fury Road- Crash & Smash (4 mins) A look at an action sequence as it was being filmed. Nice to have but not necessary There are three deleted scenes. None of them go very long and none added anything to the story. I can see why they were cut What the disc does not contain There is no directors commentary .This I must admit is a tad disappointing .The featurettes do make up for this somewhat, but still would have been good to have. All in all an incredible blu ray release
