Yes! That should have been the tagline.
A very good way to describe a lot of it.
I still think this idea has legs. I’d totally watch the early adventures of Alex.

I couldn’t make it even half way through. Found it very dull.

The film improves in the second half but that’s mostly because it’s more screen time for Hemsworth.I couldn’t make it even half way through. Found it very dull.

This was a lot better than The Fall Guy, now that I’ve seen them both.This and Fall guy, two good films not doing well. What is going on ?

This should've been the tagline, @Wing Attack Plan R.Nobody pays even the slightest attention to their goddamn oral hygiene in this film

That behind the scenes featurette was pretty great, an education. Thanks for sharing it. Those stunt performers and choreographers are incredible. Insanely technical. 76 days shooting on that one stowaway sequence, just mad. George Miller is one mad bastard. There really should be an Academy Award, BAFTA, AACTA, CSA for stunts. That hair and makeup get an Oscar and stunts don't is criminal.
I think the issue people have with their own eyes while watching this movie is that you can tell what is real (actors, cars) but the real shots are then given extensive CG work that removes the green fields (like in this featurette), removes wires, adds fireballs and smoke, and so on. So when you see it, you can't quite put your finger on what isn't working but you know something is off. Then I think there's a sense of maybe being tricked, like you see an awesome stunt (like when the car is bombed and flips up to land on the war rig) but wonder if any of it was real.
Also, never really was into Anya Taylor Joy but she won me over in this. It's a genuine shame this didn't make a lot of money because this kind of spectacle is not going to be risked again any time soon. $180 million budget.
That would guarantee some asses on seats!This should've been the tagline, @Wing Attack Plan R.

Watched this and wish I had seen it in the cinema. Great action and lots of fun.
Hemsworth clearly had fun and his best stuff in a movie setting. This and for other reasons Ragnarok+IW are his best showings imo

I remember reading some article that the Oscar might be introduces a stunt section. They definitely deserve it. I think post John Wick people have been come to appreciate stunt performers more. It’s long overdue.That behind the scenes featurette was pretty great, an education. Thanks for sharing it. Those stunt performers and choreographers are incredible.

Agree. There’s too many scenes that are hyper unrealistic - Like the car hype or Anya Taylor Joy holding onto the bottom truck while the bike crashes under her. There’s a few moments like that in Fury Road but everything moves so quickly that isn’t not much of a issues.I think the issue people have with their own eyes while watching this movie is that you can tell what is real (actors, cars) but the real shots are then given extensive CG work that removes the green fields (like in this featurette), removes wires, adds fireballs and smoke, and so on.

I also wonder how much was down to Miller wanting a certain style. Originally FURIOSA started off as a comic book and the film has that look(Speed racer 2006 or Sin City cgi).
Yep it’s a shame. I saw it within the first week it opened and the cinema was almost empty. I think it ended up making some money back due to getting part of it’s budget from the Australia government(Although I might be wrong on this).It's a genuine shame this didn't make a lot of money because this kind of spectacle is not going to be risked again any time soon. $180 million budget.
For all the faults I have with the film its far better than most stuff in the cinema.
