Monk Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah, watched it on Blu-ray today. Wished I had at least a one sub, but still, even with just a couple of bookshelf speakers it sounded awesome. One big long car chase. Loved it. Although after watching the Screen Junkies honest trailers clip during the week, Max's grunting did stand out and was rather annoying. :lol: Edited September 7, 2015 by Monk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sime Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's a good film for run in a new sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to music Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) watched this on Saturday night with my 19yr old daughter, i got the Anthology on Bluray as a fathers day present. It came with the other 3 movies and I said to my daughter to watched the 1st where it all began to understand it. The acting in the 1st movie was terrible. Some of the scenes were filmed at Science Work in Spotswood where the old sewage pumping station is, that was referred as " The Hall Of Justice" in one scene the westgate bridge was shoot in the background. There is also a scene done at the Altona Pier as the gang shoots a manican on the beach front. Its the 1st time after all these years that I realised the 1st movie was done here in Melbourne. Anyway are very entertaining movie.... Edited September 13, 2015 by Addicted to music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equaliser Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Recently watched this movie. In terms of storyline and plot....what plot and storyline? There is none. While the movie had great action filled effects throughout the 2 hours, I don't think it is anywhere near the original Mad Max in terms of overall enjoyability. 6.75/10 for me.

What do you expect, it's an action movie...... The story line and plot was there, you just have to be nt so distracted from the action. One thing that didn't work was trying to make all those supermodels look the part, well to me they failed in this attempt because they will make anything look good....they'll make me look good if they stood next to.....humble me!

cheekyboy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) the gang shoots a manican on the beach front. Nothing like getting shot on the beach front, even if you are a manican............what ever that is!! I just watched this latest edition yesterday and I have to agree that there was plenty of action, great to look at, great sound, but zero plot really................I'd wager they're already shooting the sequel too.

Tweaky Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I watched it the other day when it came out on Bluray. I must admit I was a bit underwhelmed, and I was watching it in 3D [very subtle 3D effect by the way, almost to the point of none existence for a lot of the movie ], I think it was because I didn't care less what happened to any of the characters as they were never fleshed out enough.[ I actually had more fun spotting all the people I know in the movie ...A lot of extras ] Millers already got some footage for the two yet to be released sequels in the can..... original it might be, but Mad Max as a story, hasn't seemed to age well.....guess we we see if things improve, I hope so...., not that I thought the movie was bad, it was just a bit Meh for me, if you know what I mean.

Also watched the first Max the other day and could see how much Aireys Inlet has changed since then.(Max,s beach house) I believe also a bit filmed out Mernda way which is not far from where I grew up.

darth vader Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I wasn't arguing, DVP was making incorrect statements and I was correcting him Good to see you havn't changed caddi, May I remind you that kundalini wants his hand back. And "it could be the result of an anxiety" "well you've seen it...you've heard it... and your still asking questions?" " no not me, this is not what i wanted..." "Johnny the boy has done it again, this time its the scrubber..." "but we are going to teach him bubba" "a fella...a quick fella, might have a weapon under there...I'd have to pin his head to the panel..." "so how do you expect us to get it there? ..drag it?" "3 days ago, I saw a rig" "you wanna get out of here?...you talk to me" "the gate...shut the ....gate" suspension of willing disbelief is how movies work. I cant wait to see it.

Addicted to music Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I can't get over that the original film had a budget of $350k-400k and gross over $100M, what was the public thinking..... And........the idea came from reporting on road trauma in Melbourne..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Keith The plot is: Get a lot of supermodels in the flesh in the story, have plenty of action scenes to keep the audience occupied, get a number of high profile actors, have a sequel for a decent income, and hopefully daughters will buy it for a Father's Day present..... Worked for me! My daughter went out and bought as a Father's Day present.....but.....the truth is she wanted to see what Mad Max was all about, and yeah, typical gen Y, "it's a Schitt movie that makes you wanna watch it again...."
