So what I want to do in this particular Blu-ray review of Mad Max Fury Road Black & Chrome is talk about the film below like I would be enthusiastically watching it in color. I didn’t think this was possible, but I hated every single minute of my viewing of Mad Max Fury Road Black & Chrome. Not the case at all! Half the film’s appeal for me was the harsh, scorching, burn-your-eyes-out colors employed throughout and I hate to be the naysayer here but without said colors you lose A LOT of the detail. When I first heard about this I was like wow that is going to look so cool. Boo! To top it all off watching this film in “black and chrome” was an absolute chore for me. Sure you’re getting the film on Blu-ray in “black and chrome.” Big stinking deal! They don’t even give you a Digital HD file of it all.

That obviously never happened, which is why we’re here now over a year later with an unmistakable cash grab at getting whatever left that they can out of this phenomenal picture. Last year the rumor was that the Blu-ray release of Mad Max Fury Road would also include the film in black and white (or as Warner Bros. Before we go there I want to take a step back. Never in a million, zillion years would I ever have believed that I could experience unhappiness while watching my favorite film of 2015, Mad Max Fury Road.

In black and white, Fury Road really hits on the big screen with its balls-to-the-walls action. While none of the original Mad Max trilogy films: Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2(1981) or Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), the films did enjoy a very raw and gritty aesthetic which came from writer and director George Miller’s kinetic filmmaking and dangerous practical effects. The idea for the black and white would appear to be a play to harken action movie nostalgia for the franchise and the genre.
