Mad Max [4KUHD] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

This is the entry that really inspired all the copycats over the years with the hilariously over the top outfits and campy villains all looking like they’ve walked off a Frankie Goes to Hollywood music video. Immediately apparent is the increase in detail and improved clarity, offering several stunning and revealing moments that astonish similarly to its Blu-ray counterpart. But, Max and Furiosa, nonetheless, charge towards the perilous challenge head on and come out in the end with a few cuts and bruises.

In spite of it being a sequel to a larger story, the production somehow feels wholly original because the visuals and stunts are dementedly elaborate, feeding to many of our childhood fantasies of playing with Hot Wheels toys. The third option is the American dubbed version while the second is the original monoaural Australian track, and the first is a 5. The beloved cult classic rages through the 4K Ultra HD highways with a spectacularly beautiful Dolby Vision HDR presentation, crashing into home theaters with a noteworthy improvement over its predecessors and making it the best the film has ever looked.We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our site, provide personalised content and advertising, analyse our traffic, and ensure you see more of what you love.

Trailers (HD, 12 min): three previews, one of which is for the movie Stryker, and a trailer commentary from Josh Olson's "Trailers from Hell" join three more TV spots and another trio of radio commercials. Compared to other UHD releases thus far, one can almost imagine Immortan Joe yelling out, "Mediocre! Digitally there are no compression issues, and the original source is clean, with a fine grain structure to retain the filmic origin.Scream Factory, the horror-thriller offshoot of independent film distributor Shout Factory, has detailed its upcoming Collector's Edition Blu-ray of George Miller's cult action film Mad Max (1979). HDR and WGC do give a depth to the colours, the richness of the sand, the vibrancy of Bartertown, with the lighting of the Thunderdome looking particularly pleasing.

DISC 1: HDR Dolby Vision | Audio Commentary with Art Director Jon Dowding, Cinematographer David Eggby, Special Effects Artist Chris Murray, Moderated by Filmmaker Tim Ridge | Australian 5. This makes him less sympathetic for the first half (especially the way he treats Bruce Spence’s The Gyro Captain) but it makes him feel like a more believable character especially after seeing how selfish people have behaved over the past few years. Other titles include Paramount Home Entertainment's Academy Award-winning Selma, a wide release of Universal and DreamWorks' Munich, and Warner Home Entertainment's . I remember it being aggressive in theaters, but this is beyond amazing, as the Dolby Atmos track just tears apart your system with the ferocity of Immortan Joe himself.

Reportedly coming from a brand-new 4K digital intermediate and remaster of the original elements, Mad Max burns rubber on the Ultra HD roads with a super-charged and souped-up HEVC H. When several of them take his appearance as a sign and go off into the desert, he follows them back to the town. I get trying to shake things up a bit, but putting him in a cage match and then a kids film is just weird – I mean it’s really weird. Music superstar Tine Turner steals wha's left of the screen as Aunty Entity, a power-mad dominatrix determined to use Max to tighten her stranglehold on Bartertown.

Effects are discrete, absorbing, and from everywhere, dialogue is natural sounding, and given any directionality it needs, the score pulsates around the room. Mad Max is ultimately a dystopian western tale where humanity slowly devolves into anarchy and the degradation of civil values, a harsh and unpleasant world where barbarity and savage brutality lies in wait, soon to become the norm. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Best Director, winning six statuettes in categories such as Best Production Design, Best Costume Design and Best Sound Mixing. The entire 90 minutes of road race (with the rest of the movie being more laid back), we see George Miller revel in a sort of insane action that is not seen in modern movies.

The triple-layered UHD100 disc sits comfortably opposite a Region Free, BD50 disc inside a black, eco-elite vortex case with a glossy slipcover.
