I had to test out a new home projector with a BluRay and I can confirm the results. 'Mad Max Fury Road' is still the best action film of all time.


Do you agree with Edgar Wright? For me, it's T2, but Fury Road is awesome.

Fury Road, Raid 1/2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Die Hard, John Wick 1, Aliens, etc. They’re all in the pantheon.

Fury Road gets a lot of love from people in the industry because it’s a technical marvel that maybe 1% of filmmakers could’ve pulled off. Go read Stephen Soderbergh’s thoughts on it

Fury Road and the Raid movies are the ones that always have me thinking “how tf did they do that?” I still smile when I watch them as if it were my first time.

Lots of people haven’t seen the Raids, buy both on Blu-ray if you haven’t. Best choreography of all time, infinitely rewatchable. Watching the Behind The Scenes stuff is mindblowing. Gareth Evans (the director) just gets it

It's up there

Probably one of the most intense theater experiences I've ever had.

Of course not. It’s not even a very good film, period.

The action sequences are fantastic though. But that doesn’t make it a good movie.

It’s certainly top 5.



Most of the effects are practical

I agree. Fury Road is incredible and should have won Best Picture or Best Director for Miller

It absolutely is. No movie mentioned in this thread is better, except maybe Die Hard.

Not popular opinion but Fury road completely falls apart at the end.

It is a great action film but all those chicks would be raped to death and torn apart for killing the God of those people. Also it was ridiculous that the ultra fanatic changed sides mid stream for no real reason.

While the action is happening it is up there for nonstop action. Just didn't have much of an ending.

Fury Road is top 3 theater experience for me I think.

Marvelous to watch on the big screen. Really enjoyed the story too.

I tell people all the time its the best action film ever.
