kind of unfortunate, I heard Furiosa was actually a good movie. though, I personally haven't been to the movies in about 6 years or so.

Go see Furiosa! It's not quite as incredible as Fury Road, but it's pretty darn great, and it's the exact kind of movie you should see in the cinema. Feeling the rumble in the chair from the sound system while watching is honestly thrilling. I realize we all have excellent TVs and sound systems at home now, but the cinema is still worth it, and especially for movies like Furiosa that were just made to be experienced in one. Watching at home is definitely a much lesser experience.

  I actually liked it better than Fury Road. I think I didn't reflect enough during Fury Road to try and understand the world. I dismissed it as kinda silly and figured i should just suspend disbelief, but Furiosa does a bit more handholding and gives all the background and depth Fury Road hints toward. Rewatching Fury Road after Furiosa helped me appreciate it more. Watching at home is such a diminished experience compared to a theater.

    Furiosa may be thematically stronger than Fury Road. I was about to write “the character work and character-writing might be better, too” but then I remembered Nux. It’s a close call.

    I also liked it better than Fury Road. I thought the action sequences in Furiosa were easily the best choreographed large action I've ever seen, but it's also a much more rounded film with some absolutely masterful shot choices.

> personally haven't been to the movies in about 6 years or so Why is that? Is it the outrageous ticket prices? The 20 minutes of commercials and trailers before the movie even starts? The people who not only don't turn off their phones but actively use them during the movie and even make phone calls? Or is it the loudness of the theater that tries to hide the noise made by inconsiderate people?

  I was a heavy movie goer (no TV at home!) and used to go to a ton of movies - sometimes more than one in a day. Some things that are tough Totally ignoring patron behavior A group of older teens comes in, phones on the entire movie on bright, talking, cursing, just making a ruckus (maybe on purpose even) a row or two in front. If you are trying to watch a movie with your 5 year old kid (what I loved as a kid) this is no good! Fights / robberies in the mall / shopping area itself. Again, not the right vibe for kids to be part of and again no consequence / action. I seriously remember going to packed theatres with a totally cool / fun vibe as a kid - everyone pretty pro-social in terms of behavior. My parents would buy the ticket and leave us there. The other folks were basically a positive to the shared experience. The only issue was sometimes talking and the ushers would walk you out if you talked too much. I wear earplugs for the loudness - which is ridiculous. We ended up getting a projector for home. We can curl up (with kids and family as relevant) and have a better experience? So question: When does it come out on streaming? Also a hack if you still love movies. Go on a total off-beat time if you can a few weeks after opening. The attendance falls off hugely. But can still be a tiny bit hit or miss.

I just watched it this weekend on a whim at the end of an all day date. We both enjoyed it a lot, we went and watched Fury Road at home after as she had not seen that and was very excited for it. I think I still like Furiosa better, but my opinion of Fury Road has improved upon the second watching. The viewing experience was great. There were like 10 other people in the entire theater and we had prime center seats.

Prequel? Bad sign. Fleshing out a weird movie world we’ve already visited? Rarely a good idea. See: John Wick. … but it was pretty damn good anyway. I like it more the more I think about it.

  Fifth entry in a movie franchise is not generally a sign of quality either. Nor is being directed by the same guy that made a film about dancing penguins and another about talking pigs. I'm looking forward to it though.
