About this deal

Destiny has other plans however, and Max’s wife and child end up getting killed by the same gang so Max hunts them down delivering his special brand of vengeance. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome whilst a step up from the Blu-ray in terms of image quality, in comparison to the rest of the discs in this set it is slightly lacking.

Carefully working with cinematographer John Seale, Miller uses the full frame in dazzling fashion to immerse his viewers. As in the previous films, our reluctant antihero has already given up hope of a new civilization, a lone scavenger driven purely by survival, and Hardy does a marvelous job stepping into the role that made Mel Gibson a worldwide star. By the end of the movie you can see their growth and their trust in each other forming, but if you're just paying attention to the words you'd never see that.

With that in mind, I did the best I could in calibrating my Sony Bravia XBR75X940C which is connected to the Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Vernon Wells as Wez is maybe my favourite villain of the franchise as he is just so unhinged that he makes you feel constantly on edge any time he is on screen. There are good characters, their actions believable, their plight empathetic, the stakes are high and the narrative tight – it is a giant action extravaganza, reigniting the passion for a franchise long thought dead – Max was back, sure he was relegated to second fiddle in his own film, but it didn’t matter, Fury Road is a titan, on level footing with the first two films in its brutality and visceral carnage.

Music superstar Tine Turner steals what's left of the screen as Aunty Entity, a power-mad dominatrix determined to use Max to tighten her stranglehold on Bartertown. I saw nothing of the Mad Max I grew up with and the complete lack of verbal storytelling was horribly off putting. The nature of this film allows for some decent overhead effects: the plane attack in the beginning with its strafing, the entire Thunderdome fight, what with cheering crowds and clanging steel being of particular note. When all four features are watched in sequence, this is merely another glimpse of a society slowly reverting back to greedy, animalistic instincts — a twisted progression of devolution.Immortan Joe and his two brothers wield their oppressive power over the wasteland like a family dynasty with corporate reign over life-given necessities like water, implicitly referred to as "Aqua Cola. And when the bikers brutalize Max’s best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him with only one thing left in the world to live for—revenge! What this all amounts too is our attempt and promise to provide our readers with the most honest and accurate assessments as possible as we enter this new format.

All in all, this was a fledgling 4K UHD attempt with “solid” HDR application, and not much else to differentiate itself from the Blu-ray. Mel Gibson proved he was a name to be reckoned with in the revved-up, trendsetting Mad Max with filmmaker George Miller. Contains a bonus DVD disc 'The Madness of Max', behind-the-scenes making od the film that started it all.We’re proud to promote an environment that allows for discourse benefiting everyone (newcomers to the experienced) and owners of all levels of gear (affordable to the high-end) while encouraging open and friendly conversation. Like most young boys, he just wants affirmation from his father figure, even if that father figure is a crazed lunatic like Immortan Joe. But with the exception of these, the original source is clean and clear, with a very fine sheen of grain to retain that filmic look. Plot: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max (Mel Gibson) drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders.
