    Seems very... clean and shiny? The CGI stands out a lot more than it did in Fury Road. Will be interesting to see if this is an artifact of an early trailer or if it holds through to release.

        Yeah, this doesn’t look good. It seems kind of generic.

          How? Genuinely curious. People throw around generic a lot.

            Maybe not generic exactly, but it looked like a movie by someone who was copying Fury Road, and didn’t quite get it right. It was kind of bland looking.

      That was my first impression as well. The visual effects seems like a step down from Fury Road. In particular, the scene where Hemsworth is wearing a red cape and riding a chariot (1:52) and the scenes with Taylor-Joy's robotic arm seem pretty rough. Fury Road was also heavy on CGI but it was largely used to augment cool physical props, costumes, and practical effects. Hopefully Furiosa will do the same. I don't want to see Marvel-esque world where everything is digital and perfect and boring.

        Same. Fury Road was widely applauded for its practical effects. You'd have thought they'd keep that winning formula for a sequel. I feel like this is going to be a lot like The Hobbit vs LOTR....

        Same. Fury Road was widely applauded for its practical effects. You'd have thought they'd keep that winning formula for a sequel. I feel like this is going to be a lot like The Hobbit vs LOTR. Make it cheap(er) by using CGI and dumb it down for mass appeal. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll still print money.

      As someone that played the mad, Max video game, I felt as though I saw quite a few elements from the video I recognized from the game

      I wonder if some of the animations were adapted from the video game mechanics, which could explain them being more apparent?

        Around 16 minutes until 17:30 or so they talk about WB pushing out Miller for the game, having access to 15 years of notes, making whatever non-canon story they wanted, and probably putting spoilers to future movies in it. Seems like the video was right in that prediction.

        Hahaha, I thought the same thing when I saw it! Like, it's been a few years but I still had an inkling in the back of my mind that I was seeing something I'd already thought before.

    I'm looking forward to this very much. Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my favorites and I'm excited to explore more about Furiosa's past. I'm glad George Miller is still involved! This series is so interesting because each entry has a completely distinct character/tone. This, I hope, will be a great complement to the rest.

    Visuals seem largely unfinished but ignoring that this trailer is pretty uninspired. A set of cool shots with nonsense sentences, this was largely a miss for me. Hemsworth's nose looks fake but maybe that's just because I know his face. The chariot was cool but other than that ehh...

    I would've preferred a bait and switch where this movie's Furiosa isn't Anya Taylor Joy, she'd be the newbie and someone else was the actual badass Furiosa in this. But we'll see it's not like this trailer really revealed anything, I just hope this isn't her origin story, I don't need to see how she becomes a hero.

      Just like a trailer should be, I don't want to see scenes from the last act of the movie in the trailer. I just want to get the VIBES of the movie, not the full plot.

        Sure, agreed, but this felt more like a demo reel where all the shots happen to be from the same movie.

        I even got a laugh out of the line "I'm Furiosa!" Really going for some sophisticated characterization here lol.

    Fury Road is one of my favorite action movies in the last decade, I'm so excited for this. Also I'm loving Anya Taylor Joy's era.

    I watched this recently with some of my DnD friends since we're doing a car combat part in our campaign right now and it's still so incredible how incredible Fury Road looks even after the 4th time watching.

    Watched this trailer this morning then out of curiousity I went back and rewatched the "Official Main Trailer" for Fury Road linked for anyone who also wants to compare.

    I'm looking forward to seeing more in the Mad Max world, but in comparison this trailer does feel like it fell flat. I hope the film delivers more of a polished experience than the trailer currently implies.
