By the looks of it, this has way more cgi. Either Miller is getting tired or it was a studio directive.

For a franchise branded on practical effects, which rode that pony in awards season and basked in the adulation…it’s fair.

Booked the 4DX tickets for Memorial Day. The theater we are going to has IMAX, RPX and 4DX. Even if the 4DX is mo' gimmicky, it will be an experience. My choice would have been IMAX, but we have that here. Plus, they say men are visual creatures...

CGI is inevitable, and they'll add more virtual set and deepfake in future films as well.
The movies have to look expensive in order to get people to pay.

I would like to address my earlier comments. The feeling of shame and hopelessness that they have brought upon me is agonizing. In that moment, my expectations overwhelmed my sense of reality. Only a child holds on to hope and the dream of one last bastion of practical filmmaking. Underneath the crushing weight of indignity, I have decided to leave the MoFo, before I cause anymore damage.
Oh mother, please put in your eyes.

All three Film Threat guys are giving it a positive review (with caveats). That's enough for me to at least check it out at a matinee...

I was very surprised that WB didn't do any advance fan screenings several days before opening day, like they did with Dune 2. They probably expect a little less from this one.
Of course we knew it was not going to top Fury Road... but another positive review from a magazine I enjoy reading:

FWIW, Fury retells the first movie very briefly, then rehashes the chase scene from the second movie and Bartertown from the third. Meanwhile, this new one reminds me of the Feral Kid.
new favourite movie of 2024. rodent can kick rocks.

Its narrative heft is greater, but it needs better characterization for some of the side characters. I'd love to see their personalities come out if they're gonna dress like that. The cinemotagraphy and action were still there, but it rarely "amazed" me the way Fury Road did, so 92 as opposed to Fury Road's 96.

Saw it this afternoon and...
It was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, it was fun. But it wasn't what I wanted. It felt too normal. The crazy cars weren't crazy enough. The crazy characters weren't crazy enough. The costumes were just more of the same from Fury Road yet somehow not as good. The new characters mostly fell flat too. Hemsworth's character was amusing, but not especially memorable. And Furiosa's love interest/mentor was likeable but we didn't get enough of him for me to be invested in him and when he met his end I didn't really feel anything.
It just didn't feel like a Mad Max movie and that had nothing to do with the absence of Max himself. I don't watch Mad Max movies for Max. I watch them for the craziness. It just viewed more like a Mad Max inspired movie than the genuine article to me. Perhaps it'll grow on me, but for now it was just...

Between this and 3,000 Years of Longing, I think Miller is just treading water creatively at this point in his career.
I totally agree with you, Miss Vicky. It didn't really feel like a Mad Max film, at all, for me (although Mad Max is not strictly absent from the movie!).
But despite liking both Anya and Chris Hemsworth a lot, this movie just didn't feel like something that was worthy of their talents.
