Product Description

Product Description

Mad Max (BD/S)

From Amazon.co.uk

The story of Mel Gibson's stately anti-hero begins in Mad Max, George Miller's low-budget debut, in which Max is a "Bronze" (cop) in an unspecified post-apocalyptic future with a buddy-partner and family. But, unlike most films set in the devastated future, Mad Max is notable because it is poised between our industrialised world and total regression to medieval conditions. The scale tips towards disintegration when the Glory Riders burn into town on their bikes like an overcharged cadre of Brando's Wild Ones. Representing the active chaos that will eventually overwhelm the dying vestiges of civil society they take everything dear to Max, who then has to exact due revenge. His flight into the same wilds that created the villains artfully sets up the morally ambiguous character of the subsequent films. --Alan E Rapp, Amazon.com --This text refers to the DVD edition.

MAD MAX / MAD MAX 2 Blu-ray reviews

Distributors: MGM Video (US) / Warner Home Video (US)

Originally set to be two individual reviews, it seemed an interesting notion to link the two together as presumably most buyers interested in one of these movies, may well be interested in the other.

MM1

Mad Max is released on Blu-ray in a US region A locked disc courtesy of MGM Video.
Rather annoyingly it has been released in one of those Blu-ray/DVD sets which has most of the extras on the DVD, however as far as the overall quality of the release goes, Mad Max on Blu-ray is impressive.

The 1080p 2.35:1 wide-screen transfer is reasonably strong, although due to original filming elements, it will not compete against modern day movie transfers. An amount of film grain is clearly evident in certain outdoor scenes and it was nice to see that this release has not suffered with issues of DNR. Colours and black levels are particularly impressive throughout, with much improved detail over the DVD releases.

Audio tracks for this release were always going to be of great concern. Thankfully MGM have made the right decision in releasing this Blu-ray with the original Australian soundtrack intact, which is presented in both 5.1 DTS or the the added option of the original Australian mono. In addition, there are also other audio options available, including Spanish and French stereo tracks and the cringe worthy original American dubbed mono for completists. Ultimately it is the original Australian audio track which is the ultimate find here, presented clearly in DTS-HD which is clean and free from distortion.

Mad Max is a great film. Camp, violent, exciting and groundbreaking. There's little more I can say about the movie itself. As for the disc it's a mixed bunch. The master it was taken from hasn't been given the restorative treatment many old catalogue titles receive and there is a fair amount of natural damage visible in the form of occasional scratches and discolouration. That said Mad Max has never, ever looked this good, warts and all. It never ceases to amaze me how much more there is to see in terms of fine detail when an old favourite gets the blu-ray upgrade and even without enhancement the anamorphic widescreen image looks fanatastic. There is currently no UK version of this available so the Australian version is the only easy option. It's a shame that the George Miller commentary from the US DVD is not present and be warned if you're a fan of cheese as the terrible US dub soundtrack from its first american cinematic release, though listed on the setup menu, is NOT present.
Nevertheless this is a highly recommended purchase.

Mad Max 2 is the better film, for sure: it's bigger, grislier, and more exciting. But the original is very good not just because it explains why Max is perturbed, but because it does so without compromising his character's silent and innate masculinity - which is some feat considering the amount of skin-tight leather on show.

Max himself - skilfully underplayed by Mel Gibson - is at the heart of all the main narrative turns. It's he who kills the Nightrider; his best friend who's murdered by the gang that wants to get to him; his family who are targeted for the final showdown. And yet Max is on screen quite rarely. Not that he needs to be seen: he is an archetype of sorts; the last spring of morality in an apocalyptic desert.

Thanks to a tight and sympathetic script, Max and Jessie's relationship is entirely convincing. The music, by Brian May (no, not that one), is superbly melodramatic; always complementary, never intrusive.

It's not complex. At one point Max tells his boss that if he spends any more time on the road he'll "be one of them" - we know what territory we're in, and it's not about blurring moral boundaries; it's about raw, red-blooded revenge.

Watching George Miller's directorial breakthrough again confirms one thing among many others: that this is a filmmaker with not only an excellent spatial sense but also a nice appreciation of landscapes.

This should have been as exciting a cinematic decut for the watching film world as Spielberg's or Tarantino's - whether they actually did herald Miller's arrival in the way he deserved I am too young to tell.

But what a great movie. A Fantastic marriage of cop flick and low-budget exploitationer, Miller's movie is to this genre (whatever the hell that is) what The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is to American horror.

Taking Einstein's assertion that World War IV would be fought with bows and arrows as his cue, Miller sets his movie in (we assume) a future Australia inhabited by gangs

of barbaric bikers who wage high-speed war on the country roads.

When one of their clan, the Knightrider, is killed in a high-speed prison break, his peers, led by the psychotic Toecutter, vow revenge on Max Kotanski, the one they hold responsible.

What sets Mad Max Apart from similar films is its many pleasing quirks: the bikers - like the even more primitive barbarians in part 2 - are a shrewd mix of pre-civilisation warrior and punkish, androgynous psycho.
