compromising the original sound design, especially during the chaotic final chase scene. These comments certainly extend to Beyond After Max refuses to kill Blaster, he’s exiled into the wilderness and is found, near death, by a group of children descended from the survivors of a plane crash and living in an oasis they call “Planet Erf.” They believe Max is the plane’s pilot, who had left with their parents to find civilization, and when some of them leave and Max tries to help them, he ends up crossing paths with Aunty Entity again. extended into post-production when he ran out of money and, along with late producer Byron Kennedy, resorting to editing and other tasks in his Mad Max features the same primary options as Kino's 4K edition: a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio remix and the original 2.0 mono theatrical mix.

Warner Bros.' 4K disc for the original Mad Max represents one of this set's only real surprises: it's clearly sourced from the from its initial development (and a story ripped from the headlines) to its reception and legacy... along with everything he and his team learned The Road Warriors: Max and Furiosa – 10 minutes with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron chatting about their characters, Miller’s vision and the final result.Haunted by his turbulent past, Max (Tom Hardy) wanders alone until he's swept up with a group, led by Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), fleeing across the Wasteland. In hot pursuit: a warlord who gathers his gang and pursues the rebels ruthlessly, leading to a high-octane road war in director George Miller's return to the world of Mad Max. Mad Max: Fury Road was filmed digitally using Arri Alexa cameras at a resolution of 2.8K but it was finished using a 2K Digital Intermediate (DI).

(I believe it’s a law that all dystopian stories need to feature roving bands of bad guys.) In the process, Max rediscovers the humanity that he lost when his family died in the first film. Warner says that all four films were remastered in 4K from scans of the original camera negatives, although it’s not clear if the Mad Max 4K disc uses the same master as the one Kino Lorber released. A comparison of the two discs showed that there wasn’t much, if any, difference between them.

Additionally, the aspect ratio is slightly different and this suggests that Kino's life by the tasteful use of HDR enhancement.
