Real effects always beat out cgi.

Conductors of the choir of death!

I sincerely hope enough money was made, and George Miller has at least one more in him. I thoroughly enjoy all the films with the exception of Thunderdome.

(Driver of rolling Rig): I've got Balls of Steel!

I still can't get over that they encased the drive-train of the rig in steel tubes. That just blows my mind.

No, they don't.

Fury Road and The Force Awakens were probably the two most hyped "hey we're doing practical effects" movies of the last year or two and both have a tonne of CGI, it's just hard to see.

Practical effects are great for some stuff, but good CGI allows for things that are simply impossible with practical effects.

Both have their place.

This is like saying a fork is better than a knife. Well sure... but at what?

I bet you couldn't pick out 90% of the cgi shots in films you watch, it's everywhere, not just the explosions (which are usually a mix of practical pyro and cgi, including mad max.)

Most of this footage looks a lot better than the air-brushed, color-corrected and CGI'd end product.

It looks more like Road Warrior when it's this raw. Road Warrior felt like a movie, Fury Road, while great, felt to me like a theater play.

One of the best movies in the last 20 years. Very close to top.

the color grading is not cgi's fault, you're talking about creative decisions that George Miller made. If the goal was to keep the footage looking raw and documentary-style, they could have done the cgi that way.
