[Artemis Flow]

Why bother about arguing whether things are realistic in the trilogy its a bloody sci - fi fantasy film not meant to be an accurate depiction of the post apocalyptic world , you guys are just reading too much into it examining every square inch like the director is leaving easter eggs for the die hard fans to decipher , sit back buck up enjoy the ride
Its a filum not an documentary

Because things have to make sense or be plausible - at least for me - to enjoy it. You would agree that there should be realism, continuity, laws of physics, a sense of risk and danger, natural actions and reactions, a sense of character purpose, plot, acting, etc. right....? In any movie, there are defined framework. In any film, you can accept things that happen within that framework. For instance, you can accept aliens, in an alien movie. You can accept superman in a superman movie. Etc. But in a world much like ours, except post apocalypse, we all have our ideas of 'realism.' But the laws of gravity still apply, for instance. People still behave like people - good and bad qualities, mortality, etc. Delving beyond these things degrades from the authenticity of the film.

Nearly everyone here would agree that MM3 was the weakest of the series. This is largely due to it being less raw, less authentic, less action, less realism, less feeling of desperation and intensity, and less believability in the characters and less emotion.

Why bother discussing anything in life I suppose...

This is indeed very correct.

But isn't the framework in Fury Road clearly pushing plausibility to its limits for sensational appeal? Wouldn't the fair thing to do here, as supporters of Miller, be to give him some benefit of the doubt and embrace his world?

I agree that the monster truck stuff is improbable, but it's certainly not impossible.

They're trying to sell tickets here, why do you keep beating them up for that? Why not put that energy into writing your own realistic post apocalyptic screenplay for people who think the same as you?

All this postulation about 3 seconds of film showing a monster truck getting some air is a complete waste of time , have you visited the set ? paced out the stunt ?looked at the ramp ? ever driven a monster truck ? and suddenly we are experts .. come on lol they wrecked a General Lee every jump shot in the Dukes of Hazzard , whatever it takes to get a shot its just a movie

yes as you have stated in everyone of your posts kind of limits your choice of things to enjoy good luck with that

No as long as I have a good time I dont care if Max's leg brace suddenly appears on the other leg

The thing is, that monstertruck could make that jump, the general lee doesn't. I've been on youtube looking up monstertrucks and those things can make huge jumps and drive off without being damaged. I would rate the jump from FR to be very plausible considering that. But in a realistic setting that monstertruck is indeed a bit ridiculous but it makes a nice scene, don't we all like that?

IMDb now lists Megan Gale as playing "Valkyrie". From Wikipedia....

In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live.

IMDb also confirms Angus Sampson as "Organic Mechanic".

I also read somewhere that the movie might open the Cannes Film Festival on May 13, a theory possibly supported by Warner's french arm which tweeted 5/13/15 as the opening day for the movie in France.

Miller was a juror at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

In addition to confirming those two character names, even though its not on IMDB yet - on Richard Carter's management page it has a PDF of his CV, which confirms he does indeed play The Bullet Farmer. You can see it here:

Nice find kennerado. I was pretty sure Carter was the guy in the leaked pics.

I also agree with this. Your expectations change depending on the subject matter and what the director has done in the previous films. MM was gritty and realistic (not exactly 'real', if you want that go watch those 'Housewives' shows...). No one was from outerspace, nothing supernatural, no supergeniuses able to levitate things, no one flying 40 feet thru the air and just getting bruises. The scene of Wez popping up again on the front of the Mack was starting to push things. In fact, what makes that scene so unexpected is that nothing like that happens anywhere else in those movies.

The excuse that it's just a movie or a sci-fi fantasy film is a way to rationalize anything and everything in any movie. I mean, really, how would people react if suddenly Hannibal Lechter had telepathy and could fly? Or if Batman had a well balanced personality? No one would buy in to it and the character/story loses it's appeal.

I wouldn't want fury road to be like 'the road'. Which was mad max beyond bleak. It was good but to real. Probably the most accurate portrayal of societal breakdown and apocalyptic proportions.

100% agree but i would love to see a bit of maxs day to day life, ie where he gets his food / water, i know that's not what people want to see, but anything with a bit of apocalyptic survival appeals to me
