    Oh, no I was actually surprised when I learned it lost money. It was a huge hit, so I was like, how did it LOSE MONEY? Hollywood moment I guess...

    Theoretically I should like it, I love Mad Max and The Road Warrior. I found it kind of clean and shiny looking (and also waaaaay too orange) though, in spite of all the hubbub about the practical effects. I love stunt work and practical stuff, but Idk here... the 3D 'moments' in Fury Road are pure cringe imo :)

    It would be rad if they did more than one cool action movie with big cars. Fury Road should not spell any sort of death for the genre.

      The only cringe 3d moment I can think of is the clearly all cgi guitar blasting out of the screen near the end of the movie and I agree with you those kind of shots are definitely cringe.

      I agree they should make more movies like fury road but I can't help but think that the studio screwing them over a ton of money and blaming them for production delays caused by the kind of real world production work they were doing is a small glimpse into why no one makes movies like that anymore. Too much risk and no reward other than appreciation from a handful of movie dorks who prefer watching real stuff over fake CGI action.
