He is pretty lame in this movie. Never heard of him before, but at least now I know who is the guy standing in the empty swimming pool.
This sci-fi sub-genre is known as "post-apocalyptic".
Well, the production values are better and the guitar guy is cooler that the sax guy from "2019..." and the drummer guy from "1990: The Bronx Warriors" taken togheter but Hemsworth doesn't measure up to Geroge Eastman or Fred Williamson, though he really tried hard not to be his usual generic self and sort off managed to pull it off. But in reality, the acting bar is not much higher than in "2019: After The Fall Of New York" and only the young Furiosa actress managed to jump over it.
Yep, no awards this time. Editing, stunts... everything is worse or at best on the same level as in Fury Road. I really enjoyed the movie, but it is not mind blowing as Fury Road is and I didn't expect it to be.
A guy sitting there in a movie theater and dwelling on how she survived without antibiotics... A lonely business.
Are you sure that this is the only unrealistic part? Because I think the whole thing is utterly unrealistic and realism wasn't an objective.
I'm not into kids the way you are, but I have to admit that she played better Furiousa than ATJ. Screen presence, the level of acting and "furiousness" dropped significantly when ATJ replaced her.
Part of it is bad promotion. Trailer promised that they are trying to pull out the same rabbit from the hat, and the second time you see the same rabbit, it is not that fun. I was pleasantly surprised that it is not what the trailer promised. Sadly, I was the only one surprised, because I was alone in the theater. Actually this is the first time ever when I'm given a "personal" movie projection. Felt important and such... But doesn't bode well for future Mad Max movies.
The audience is different now. They couldn't care less for him or any other "dad's heroes".
Yeah, it was way too noticeable compared to Fury Road and mostly it felt unnecessary. Though it is sometimes hard to tell what is CGI and what not, because they seem to speed up the action or drop frames or whatever they are doing, which makes the movements "jittery". They did the same in Fury Road. Also tons of post processing, green screen and CGI sand fog contribute to the overall artificial feel.
