I need this now. I also think Hemsworth is going to shine in this role.

Woah dude

Yeah that CGI was off putting. Fury Road looked way better.

The cinematography/CGI looks identical to Fury Road to me. Y'all need to go back and watch it. They're both green-screened to hell, but the action is so damn good - and as practical as can be - that I could not care less.

In reply to TCTTS Yeah, the oversaturation and weird speed ramps are very intentional choices carried over from Fury Road, love em or hate em.

And I'm not entirely sure what I just watched but am 100% in. This looks like a freakin' blast.

There's a threefold issue with the CGI:

1) This more than likely isn't the final CGI. Trailers are often released without the full digital effects in place.

2) The Avatar Effect. Cameron's CGI is so good that it raises the bar each time.

3) 29.97 tends show digital effects more prominently than 24fps, which is what most non-Cameron films are shot in.

VERY stylized

A definite theater watch. Hell yea!

Besides how some of the VFX in FURIOSA clearly aren’t done cooking, I bet people are complaining about the VFX partly because of the more intense color saturation, which further emphasizes the (beautiful, imo) artifice of the imagery beyond the already highly stylized FURY ROAD.

I think maybe some of y'all need to rewatch FURY ROAD and remember how much of that movie is digital FX. I also think, because we have seen this happen a bazillion times now, that every shot in that FURIOSA trailer will look 50% more polished by the time the movie arrives.

Does the subtitle bother anyone else? I know it's nitpicky but it feels wrong to me haha

Is this a one-off or will it be a multi-film series?

It's set 15 years before Fury Road. Miller could of course make another one, further bridging the gap, but no plans to do so have been announced.

The studio/marketing almost assuredly requires mention of the "Mad Max" name, for dumb-dumb brand awareness. And I get how Mad Max: Furiosa would have better-matched Mad Max: Fury Road, but seeing as there's no Mad Max character in/leading this entry, technically it's not a "Mad Max:" movie, hence "A Mad Max Saga" makes slightly more sense. I don't love it, but I don't really mind it either.

Thanks - I knew about the tie-in to FR, just wondering if this was the start of a longer series of new films.

I still think the movie is going to rock, but there's definitely a difference. Doesn't mean I won't see it, just hoping it gets polished up by the time it's released.

I watched the trailer on my ipad last night and agree that the cgi/green screen was noticeable. It felt the way that it often is obvious watching a movie that is 10 years old, but you didn't notice it when it first came out.

That said - I didn't know it is commone for initial trailers to have rough effects that are typically smoothed over significantly before it hits the theaters.

I'm looking forward to this movie as well.

There are so many shots from Fury Road, like the one below, where it's so clearly green screen/kind of sh*tty effects. Also, they shot Furiosa on location as well, in an "actual bare arid desert" just the same. Fury Road shot in Namibia, Furiosa shot in rural New South Wales. I'm a huge stickler for crappy CGI/bad cinematography, and these two movies so far look exactly the same to me. Same type of over-saturated, real-world desert environments, same type of green screen effects. And again, none of it matters to me one bit because of how otherwise incredible these movies are.

I was talking about the CGI used in Fury Road in this post.

It’s a creative choice and I don’t know why some are coming for George Miller over some trailer CGI in Furiosa.

I should have worded this better. pic.twitter.com/b2vdqDh9uT

Like there is so much green screen in that third act guys. And throughout the whole movie.

No doof warrior, not watching

In reply to TCTTS I think it's the use of Saga that throws me. Like it's part of the Mad Max Saga but calling it A Saga is weird hahah.

I'm sure it's all grammatically correct but it's weird. It's like Ant-Man 2: an Infinity Saga.

How much time has passed between last Mad Max film and this one?

Meh. Maybe it'll be interesting, I dunno. Got zero out of that trailer. Is this part of the story people actually care about?

There's parts of the story people care about? It's not like there was a whole heck of lot of character development in Fury Road.

And who really needs it? It's a feast for the eyes.

Would like to see something with Nux. Thought he was the second best character from FR, after Furiosa.

Cannot wait.

I've loved the Mad Max universe since I first saw it as a kid. And in the case of this universe I've never cared about character motivations, etc. I mean, in Mad Max we saw his life before he became the Road Warrior. That's enough. We don't know why he keeps going instead of just offing himself and putting himself out of the misery of this sad world. But we don't need to know why. That's not the point.

Max himself is simply a vehicle to showcase an insane post-apocalyptic world ruled by freaks and badass car chases. And if we can breathe a little fresh life into the franchise by using Furiosa as that window to this world then fine by me. If this comes off as well as I hope then we'll have not just one but two badasses to root for as they fight mutant-like freaks on tricked out motorcycles.

You're right, these movies are a feast for the eyes and imagination.
