That sounds like a movie about Max Barry.

Mad Max is one of my favorite film series of all time. I'm seriously excited for the new one.

Music seems somewhat interesting so far, too.

I've never watched a movie where half of it is one giant car chase scene, so even though i haven't watched any of the old Mad Max movies, I'm gonna watch this one.

No, it's not, it's a movie about a guy who's trying to survive the post-apocalyptic Outback and keep his sanity.

Avatar The last Airbender and the Legend of Korra are 100% win. Sociopolitical story with element bending and steam punk.

Lord of War is also my favorite film.

Saw the trailer before Age of Ultron on Monday - it looked fucking terrible.

Oceasia is a movie buff.

Meanwhile, I think Age of Ultron looks boring as hell.

Though honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Mad Max doesn't end up being that exciting, but at least for me it looks stylistically more interesting.

Mad Max looks interesting, it will be a visually stunning film at the least judging from the trailers.

Yeah. Visuals don't MAKE a movie for me, but they can certainly help. The visuals in the apocalyptic movie The Road made the movie even more epic because they were soooo well done. It wasn't like "Hurr durr put stuff here to make it look apocalyptic*

But you could ask the mods to edit it to a smaller font. Like size=1.

I think I see what you mean, but I'm not some movies would survive with "lesser" scenery. Filming the Lord of the Rings in Nebraska probably wouldn't have worked.

They don't make a movie for me either, though they most certainly do help if they are done right.

For mad max I'm not expecting something great, but as long as the plot is okay I won't mind

I see your sig...

I approve...

On this topic, I like Star Wars as both a sci-fi and a fantasy. I'm one of those awkward people who couldn't choose between cosplaying as Luke Skywalker or Gandalf if you gave them to me.

Then again, Hiccup ftw, amirite?

Well, obviously

Good visuals, no matter where (Filming, say, a movie based in Nebraska in the Colorado Rockies would be silly), is definitely a good thing. Visuals definitely push up movies. BUT the main thing I was really saying was that a movie solely about visuals but consists of a shitty plot full of only explosions?...That won't make the movie good for me just becaise of the visuals. But HAVING visuals be stunning in a good movie definitely helps, if what I'm saying makes sense.

Wow, not to say I care about review scores, but Mad Max is getting surprisingly high review scores.

It's apparently beautiful mayhem on wheels, and apparently some reviewers thinks it's the best mayhem on wheels ever. Most of them say there's so little plot that you can pretend it isn't there while you watch stuff blow up real good.

The trailer actively turned me off the movie, so I'm not gonna see it. I recently rewatched both The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, and they're my favorite Mad Max movies so far.

I saw a preview of it a few days ago and I must say, Charlize Theron seems to rock. And I haven't seen the movie yet.

I recently watched the Iranian vampire movie A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and I must say, if you like the vampire genre, this one is worth a look.

Yeah from the reviews ive seen its meant to be glorious fun incarnate.

Honestly did not expect it to be that well received.

I thought it looked stylish, but while I wanted to see it, I expected it to probably not be really that exciting. Still sounds like there's probably not much beyond "Omg action", BUT it must be some pretty damn solid action film stuff to get that high of a rating.
