    This might sound weird but: I get the idea of it being in black-and-white, not sure why anyone would want to watch it that way, though -- the color is part of what makes it so great and, IMO, enhances those practical effects.
     
  2. It's going to be official. Miller wanted to release it in black and white from the beginning.

    I'm skeptical, George Miller said he would do a smaller movie before another Mad Max. But super down if it's true, even though I'm not super into Furiosa

    She's not gonna be in it from my understanding.

    This is so confusing. I've heard that, and then I've heard that it's her and Max, but that doesn't make sense since they don't meet until Fury Road. How is it a Furiosa prequel if she's not in it?

    The colors ended up being such a huge part of this film I'm not sure I'd want to watch the black and white version. I know it was his original intent but I can't really see much gained from it, particularly since we already got the color version.

    I mean, what am I losing by watching the original version and just turning the color on my TV all the way down?

    Well, I don't know the process by which the black and chrome edition was color corrected, but there actually is an art to it, deciding what to emphasize and when and such. I haven't yet found it confirmed that Miller did the editing himself though.

    Miller did it himself. And color correcting is definitely a process and not just flipping a switch on your tv.

    Just not sure how to feel re-buying a B/W version of a movie when I might potentially get similar visuals by removing color from the current one. Not sure I'd be able to tell the difference via memory so hopefully some comparison shots between the chrome version and a B/W version of the original bluray show up online soon.

    Arclight in Hollywood is showing Black & Chrome for a week. Definitely want to see this in theaters again.

    I really really hope we get another Mad Max, but I'm not holding my breath
     
  20. I'm too afraid it won't live up to Fury Road. Although, in the 2016 interview linked in that article, Miller said his first sequel would be less technical and more performance-driven, so I don't know what to expect from that. Not sure how he feels now.

    i'd be okay without a sequel to Fury Road. that film is pure brilliance.

    I watched this on the big screen last night because I had to and had no idea how long until I'd get that chance again. Perfection. Most everyone else has, for a few years now, said it better than I could reiterate, but this is truly one of the best movies of at LEAST the 21st century. Seeing this again pretty much solidified that for me
