I'm gonna have to check it out again in 2D, whenever the theater decides to finally start showing it. But it's kind of interesting how so many of us TOTALLY called out that guitar and Wheel shot as CG. I'm not sure if it'll be as offputting in 2D, but it really speaks to how real something looks is down to movement and how something acts and behaves and camera movement. Because despite being built from 100% real footage, it still felt fake because it was such a bizarre thing that didn't fit with the aesthetic of the rest of it at all.

It's just kind of interesting that the CG has come so far that we can make anything "look" real, but in so many cases people just don't know how to use it to make something actually feel real.

I saw it in 2D. Guitar and steering wheel shot didn't bother me until you guys said something, but it still felt like a nice cap to all that had come before. Everything past that is epilogue; that was exclamation point.

By the way, this movie gets better on every viewing. Seen it 3 times now, and could literally go again tomorrow.
It's so perfect from a story structure and filmmaking standpoint, and so dense with character quirks and world-building, that it doesn't get old. Action flows better every time too, since you know what to look out for. It's downright overwhelming the first time, but on repeat you can just appreciate the incredible juggling act of mini-setpieces and how they flow in and out of eachother within each sequence.

The sad thing is, I just haven't been in the mood to go see an action movie. I'm going to end up watching this and Avengers on video.

Busy this weekend, but I plan to see it at least a couple more times while it's playing. We've grown so used to mediocrity, that really flawed but sorta fun movies like Guardians of the Galaxy get hailed as classics (or worse, derivative cookie-cutter shit like Pacific Rim gets held up as some bastion of originality).

This is the rare case where we're dealing with a genuine classic, the kind that comes along once every 10 years maybe. There's no doubt in my mind this movie is going to leave a massive cultural imprint, much like The Matrix did in its time. So I have no problem going back and enjoying it multiple times.

It'd be like Star Wars coming out for the first time and deciding to wait and see it on VHS, it doesn't really make sense.

I'm in the same boat as Invid.

I just don't feel the energy or the time to go see a movie. I haven't been since the Hobbit: Bo5A came out.

Question: do I need to have seen Mad Max before seeing this one?

I will second that, I have yet to see any of the other Mad Max's and there was basically nothing in Fury Road that wasn't explained through context or world building. I'm sure there's a ton of references and throwbacks I missed, but if that's why you go to watch this movie, you have some issues I can't help you with.
