Movie Reviews of The Road Warrior [HD DVD]
Movie Review: LAst of the Mohicans
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched it. The transfer was good. Spoiler alert The road warrior wins.Movie Review: The Road Warrior: a New Hero Mystique is Born
Summary: 3 Stars
Road gangs rule the wastelands in the post-apocalyptic aftermath of civilization's finale. The most valued commodities: oil, gasoline, cars and guns. Mel Gibson stars as the now iconic Mad Max--the quiet wandering scavenger, humankind's mysterious last hero. The plot is simple: The Road Warrior must decide between escape or to stay and defend the peaceful gasoline making tribe from the tyranny of a wasteland gang.
As each action scene is skillfully 'wiped' to the next the tension builds and the dramatic quality of the theme is rooted. The question is: Can these people escape the wasteland and journey toward the rumored last haven of civilized humankind? Or will they be hunted down, raped and murdered like animals by the whim of gang rule.
Despite the gruesome action and sometimes campy dialogue, the theme of the film is complex: the right to one's own life. This is portrayed in the conflict between the producer tribe and the thieving gang; the creators vs. the destroyers; and Max walks the the middle line as an individual standing against tyranny, the defender of that right to life (his own), and of that dream of a better place. Max can't escape his past as a policeman, as a arbiter of justice, but can he escape the gang's brutality and live to scavenge another day?
Through Max we identify with the fight against tyranny in defense of a future for humanity, and as we do, a new hero mystique is born: that of the brooding and cunning last remnant of humankind's ideals. Also, a warning rises to the surface of this film; a warning about gang rule and human corruption and where that may lead us.
Movie Review: 1 good news and 2 bad news
Summary: 2 Stars
I was delighted when i saw this movie available in HD and i rushed to buy it.Yes the madmax "icon" is still alive since 1982 but the movie has difficult to live well today.
The good news is about the picture quality which is very good withy no grain.
Despite what you may think about typical Mad Max actions scenes the movie is boring for 2 reasons
a) there is nearly no dialog and instead of this there is a permanent horrible music with trumpets and brass instruments who try to give the rythm in the movie.This kills everything.
b) the audio is realy under average. don't expect to hear the engines roaring and the explosion to blow yr living room.
So my opinion is at least rent it before to buy it
In the opposite and maybe in the same category "Waterworld" in HD DVd is something totaling amazing at all levels.
