Finally saw Fury Road a few nights ago.
I think I waited too long and caught too much of the peripheral hype.
As a kid who grew up loving the original, I was pretty exited about it after seeing the first trailer.
Everyone I know, even the harsh skeptics told me how great it was.
It’s a great action movie that is a great successor to the originals.
Lots of real stunts and practical effects.
Although there is a LOT of cg work in the movie, it’s done well, and hides right in front of you, instead of overstimulating and desensitizing you.
I liked how they don’t verbal explain every aspect of story details and let many things just remain for the viewer to interpret it for themselves.
That said, it didn’t hang the moon for me.
And considering the hype you’d think otherwise.
It’s got some hella cheesy moments in it.
Considering the feminist media hype, I was surprised by the “sexy girls” reveal, it felt a little like the Matrix rave in pt3, typically hollywood.
Ex Machina on the other hand, has to be one of my new favorites.
