Just came back from watching this. Non-stop action!!! Saw it in 3D, and they did an excellent job, so it was not 3D in your face.

Much of the movie is spent with furious speed chases, with twists and turns along they way. When there was no speed, it was only for a short amount of time - enough time for you to catch your breath for the next round.

This is one of those movies that is a must see on a big screen.

Saw it yesterday with the wife. Even she liked it, and that's not usually her kind of movie. I think it was brilliant bringing in Charlize Theron as a strong female character. Gave the movie some depth.

Nice reboot of the original. Now hopefully they won't ruin it with a bunch of lame sequels.

We saw it in 2D. I really didn't see anything that would have benefited much from 3D, and "Fake 3D" (post production 3D rendering) usually gives me a headache. Unless the movie is actually filmed in 3D (like Avatar was), I don't see the point. It's just a gimmick IMO.

Interesting. I haven't seen it yet because my wife hated the originals. I wonder if I could convince her to try this one.

Oh and an interesting tidbit. I went to St. Louis Wizardcon yesterday and met the guy who did the make-up & set design on this movie.

Watched it last night with the wife. Both fans of the original flick, both disapointed with this one. Movie was OK, but the pacing didnt feel right, and Max's character could have had so much more done. Little too barren. Should have been titled Imperator Furiosa: Fury Road.
