The good news is that Covid-19 doesnt seem to be creating a Mad Max or Will Smiths I Am Legend-style apocalypse.The bad news is we wont be seeing these awesome vehicles tearing across the desert in a post-apocalypse world. Still, for what it is, Mad Max: Fury Road isn’t bad, two hours of action scenes that are well crafted and entirely lacking in suspense, and with some clever but fake-looking special effects.

But I warned you.Ī great disc, played on a system not ready for public consumption. Mad Max Fury Road is an unforgettable movie awash with some of the most far out and extreme automotive artistic license. If you don't mind going through continuous firmware upgrades, and the absolutelely shitty Samsung technical support, as they solve problems that should have been remedied before release, go for it. The player has not been properly tested, and is not ready for release. Everything else seems to track nicely.Īll of that said, if you read my "First Impressions" piece regarding 4k, I'm recommending to all but the staunchest home theater fans, to wait for probably 3-6 months, if you're planning to play anything except new 4k discs on your Samsung.
While the 4k uprez is gorgeous, there are certain attributes, which I question, as they seem to possibly show, and I say possibly, as I've not seen the original data files, effects that may not play properly at 4k - mostly the highlights on flames. While I like the way that I have it set up - this after realizing that the Samsung defaults your projector or panel to virgin territory, sans calibration, the first time the viewing device sees a new 2160 signal, and then plugging all of my calibrations back into the projector anew.Īre those calibrations correct? Not sure. The bad news is that to be perfectly honest, I'm not exactly certain what it's supposed to look like. Audio is what it has been, which is superb - and Huge.
Viscerally, it's a totally different film from either of the current Blu-releases.Ĭolor, densities, black levels within HDR are stunning.
In fact, It's probably an equally dynamic version to the black & white we expect to see. will be releasing over the next year or so, their new 4k uprez is a most interesting creature. Of the dozen or so variants of George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road, that Warner Bros.
