This is hard to watch. So incredibly fake, and most of the action seems like dumb random luck instead of skill.
I'm 25 minutes in, don't care about the characters, am bored. Is that how the whole movie is? Then probably some fake comic book bombastic over the top cgi action at the end with all luck and zero peril?
This and Fury Road are intended to have an over the top comic aesthetic though unfortunately this one has a cheaper look to much of it despite the large budget.
And no, there's no big ending action sequence. The tanker chase and the fight at the bullet farm are the big action sequences and then the rest is just finishing the story followed by a questionable ending.
It's definitely a movie for people who really liked Fury Road and wanted more of that world.
i thought the world was well done - albeit too cartony and fake to me: random oil refinery STILL operational - anyway, mind wondered too much by the halfway mark, i skimmed ahead, just saw more CGI fake action - bodies flailing about like CGI ragdolls, just didnt feel anything, like there was no real peril at all. skipped to the ending action. meh. turned it off. that's just me.
shareTotally agree! I caught about 5 minutes of it and it looks like bad videogame CGI from the 2000s. Just awful.
shareThe two movies are like the 300 flicks. Here's this amazing perfect film and then here's a sloppy lore expansion story with much dodgier effects.
shareI only watched the PREVIOUS movie because it bragged about doing things real, no CGI... how they put it. So, sure many of the stunts were real but surrounded by so much CGI backdrops, action, foreground, it felt like false advertising.
oh well. some people like this stuff and that is ok too.
