Movie Reviews of The Road Warrior [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Classic Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie and great Blu-Ray disc.The Road Warrior looks very good in High Def and it looks alot better then the DVD version.The Road Warrior has always been one of my favorite movies and the car stunts in the movie are amazing.I also thought Mel did a great job as Max and it's no surprise that he went on to become a huge star.Yeah I know Mel has lost some fans due to his drunken antics,but that's not going to stop me from watching Mel Gibson movies,hes starred in some great movies and also directed some great movies such as Braveheart,Passion of The Christ,and Apocalypto.Well anyway if you are a fan of The Mad Max movies and you where disapointed with the DVD version of The Road Warrior and you have a PS3 or a stand alone Blu-Ray player then get The Road Warrior on Blu-Ray it blows the DVD version away.Also it's been released on HD DVD too.I do hope George Miller will someday get the 4th film Mad Max:Fury Road made?Movie Review: A Grade 'B Movie'

When I was 12, I saw this thing so many times I can't even remember. It was my favorite movie for a long time. Prior to getting this disc for Xmas, I would say it has been 10 years since I had last watched it. And I was impressed, still. While I don't feel the same about this now as I did when I was younger, I was def. very entertained. But the look on blu ray totally blew me away!! It really does look as though it was made last year picture-wise; There were still a few cheesy things here and there(the sped-up chase footage in one part was a little obvious; the over-use of school athletic gear was amusing; one of the girls in the good guy's camp looks like Baby Spice from the Spicegirls...), but this movie was way ahead of it's time back then...One of the greatest chase scenes comes at the end! A great action movie, even after 25+ years.Movie Review: My most favorite Blu-Ray movie, so far...

The Road Warrior is a Mel Gibson cult classic. Now I'm hearing that the first film "Mad Max" will be soon to be released on Blu-Ray. I'm not too particularly fond of "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" but if they ever released a Mad Max three disc Box Set, I'd probably buy it.
I could watch "The Road Warrior" with my buddies while enjoying a few beers, or I can just have it on in the background because there are many scenes that a just stand alone awesome as just eye-candy on film.
This Blu-Ray High Definition release is mastered very well. On a huge screen, it's just like being there. This movie is one film that should be used as a demonstration disc for selling big screen TV's, because it WILL sell big screen TV's. Movies like this is what High Definition is all about.
Movie Review: Looks like it was shot yesterday in HD!

Man o Man. I guess its not important to comment on the actual significance of the story, characters, locations, and stunts as everyone already knows how sweet this film is. I will make a quick comment however on the transfer of the Road Warrior.
I couldn't believe my eyes. If you have a HDTV you will be visually stunned. It looks like it was shot yesterday in HD format. Seriously though, this is a prime example of what blu ray can do for older films if the proper care and attention is taken during the digital transfer. That said, when i bought this blu ray, I also bought the Patriot shot roughly 20 years later, and it looked like a regular DVD. Good movie, but why didn't it look as sharp as the Road Warrior?
I highly recommend this version of the film to anyone with a taste for quality.
Movie Review: Superior Blu-ray Experience of an all-time favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
My introduction to The Road Warrior and Mel Gibson began in the summer of 1982 when it was shown during its first run at the long gone local drive-in. The apocalyptic aspect of the story as well as the awesome stunt work had a profound impact on me then. Now it stands as a true cinematic classic especially when you consider how much CGI is overutilized these days. It also became the template for Mel Gibson's acting career by playing the reluctant hero who only gets involved when he's pushed too far. This is also a great example of how an older film is supposed to be transferred to blu-ray. I would probably upgrade more older films from DVD but it seems to be very hit and miss with the older titles. Don't hesitate to upgrade this one because the PQ and AQ is exceptional.
