Mad Max Anthology [4K Ultra-HD] [1979] [Blu-ray] [Region Free], 4 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Warner Bros.' 4K disc for the original Mad Max represents one of this set's only real surprises: it's clearly sourced from the The Tools of the Wasteland (HD, 14 min) — Cast & crew interviews talk about the creativity and artistry of the design department. Like the previous installments being inspired by current events, this fourth entry also boldly speaks to contemporary concerns about individuality and moral depravity, and Miller explores these ideas by alerting our eyes to a new action hero for the 21st Century, one we've been sorely missing for the last couple decades. Max may be understood as the plot's central figure, but this is actually Furiosa's show all the way, and Theron is a beautifully furious heroine that can tussle with any man. The film's title even suggests this is her journey, and Max is simply tagging along for the ride. 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." They also rule over everyone with an antiquated belief system that has young soldiers like Nux (Nicholas Hoult) welcome death with the promise of reward in the afterlife and view women as property without a say or right over their own bodies. Lead by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Zoë Kravitz, the five wives chant, "We are not things! We are not things!"

Digitally there are no issues, as such; now there are a couple of scenes in the film that have always been soft and noisy (think Max’s face just after the first crash when the biker rides off, and his subsequent driving away), such scenes are still present, the greater resolution and HDR doing nothing to improve them, indeed you could say they even look worse as the noise, grain and softness are exacerbated. 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. Individual score 8. Mad Max" stars Mel Gibson as the title character in Gibson's first starring role. Released in 1978 by American Thunderdome as well: while its similar stereo source material has been sweetened to fit Atmos' broader landscape, the positives far outweigh The road to Valhalla is shiny and chrome on Ultra HD Blu-ray, but it’s also a treacherous and unforgiving journey with a few hazardous obstacles and mishaps along the way. Shot on a variety of HD cameras and upscaled from a 2K DI source, the HEVC H.265 encode in HDR10 arrives with a fairly good but not wholly satisfying presentation. Compared to other UHD releases thus far, one can almost imagine Immortan Joe yelling out, "Mediocre!" But, Max and Furiosa, nonetheless, charge towards the perilous challenge head on and come out in the end with a few cuts and bruises.Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. candid set footage, and several first-hand participants that eagerly talk about their contributions to the film.

Kino's 4K disc... but neither presentation is flat-out definitive or a complete disaster. Please note that both sets of images were captured from Radio Spots - a couple of vintage radio spots for Mad Max. In English, not subtitled. (3 min, 1080p). Taking a cue from Sergio Leone’s “Man with no name” westerns, as well as a bit from Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Yojimbo/ Sanjuro, Mad Max 2 finds our hero helping a group of settlers defend themselves from outlaws who call themselves the Marauders. (I believe it’s a law that all dystopian stories need to feature roving bands of bad guys.) In the process, Max rediscovers the humanity that he lost when his family died in the first film. The film opens with an extended chase sequence involving a drugged-out thrill seeker being pursued by police and ends in not one, only screener received from the studio at the time of this review—I believe that the format has potential, but there's no way to know whether

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, released in 1985, is retrospectively interesting for serving as a rough draft for the film that might be Miller’s masterpiece: Babe: Pig in the City, from 1998. There are a number of promising ideas and one terrific fight sequence set in the titular coliseum, but the film finds Miller succumbing fatally to the misguided notion of Max as a messiah. One might have forgiven the cuddlier, less ambiguous Max if the staging were crisp, but the pacing is limp, and Beyond Thunderdome totally falls apart after a serviceable first act that suggests a political sci-fi allegory that never comes to fruition. extended into post-production when he ran out of money and, along with late producer Byron Kennedy, resorting to editing and other tasks in his Presented in an aspect ratio of 2.34:1 and encoded with HEVC / H.265, Max Max arrives on 4K Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber.
