Mad Max: Fury Road & Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBooks) (WeET COLLECTION - Exclusive No. 28/29) [Korea]
- Thread starter tommyh84
- Start date
Honestly was such a good time and fun. Just brought the site together. Then back to mayhem once it finished
.Made a lot of friends because of NinjaWeek. Unfortunately a lot of them aren’t here anymore and not spoke to many of them in years!
Like I said there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing these things including myself. Used to be loads of giveaways in the member section. That’s why I said that about steelbook of the year polls, anyone can create these even if it’s just internalised fun between us
The finish actually makes alot of difference. WeET finaly deliverd again after a few fails the Godfather was simply boring with only a title and the dark knight trilogy where nice but not spectaculair looks like they finaly made some extra effort again
Both look great but I love the Fury Road Steelbook, so glad I decided to get the Lenticular slip for it.
It’ll be tough for Manta Lab to beat that Steelbook, if or when they decide to release Fury Road that is.

Yeah quite exited actually heard some good things about Furiosa mainly the picture quality, i cant see it topping Mad Max but who knows. Think i watched Mad Max 10years ago when 4k was just introduced, i believe there where only a dozen 4k movies at that time lol. Revisiting Mad Max would be a blast to with my new setup i can imagine and just to see how good that movie was becouse it has been some time.
Fury Road was the first thing I watched when I first got a 4K TV many years ago, although it was a Netflix stream. Still looked fantastic, but I watched my blu-ray on my newer OLED a few months back and it looked and sounded phenomenal. Can't wait to watch this when I get it. I liked Furiosa, were some nice sections and it was great to see Chris Hemsworth getting the chance to ham it up, looked like he had lots of fun with the role.
But I can't deny the heavy use of green screens and CGI put me off a bit. Completely get it, Fury Road's production was ridiculous when you think of the conditions and the amount of time it took to make, doubt we'll ever see anything like that ever again, not to mention George Miller's age and Furiosa being made during covid. But I did feel like it made a noticeable difference visually. I was also a little disappointed in the OST, thought it was generally very lowkey and not much stood out (and couldn't believe they didn't use more from one of the trailers). But I still did like it, I think the opening is great, and who could complain about live action Solid Snake?
Most movies nowadays suffer from loads of cgi and green screen just a bit to much. I really appreciate practical effects alot more becouse they became rare and expensive proberly but it really helps with the immersion of the film then again if green screen and cgi fits the movie i can absolutely enjoy it, 300 comes to mind haha
Really curious about Furiosa right now i dont expect it to be better just more like a bonus side story and thats totaly fine if you want to see more apocalyptic graziness
Wow, this is going to be one of my grails! Amazing set
Everything looks really great but the Fury A1 & Lenti are still standouts still for me. Both stunning.
I really like the back of the lenti for Fury and the actual lenti for Furiosa. Really happy with those full slip choices I went for though. Look great In the video. It all does
I hope it's just the awful artificial light in that video that isn't doing justice to this release. WeET's pics were loads better
The problem isn't that the lighting is 'artificial', light is light. The issue is it's massively overexposed, real shame as the video is lovely otherwise.
They certainly turned the saturation up a bit in that video. Couldn’t work out why they did it
Might not be intentional, wasn't until quite recently I noticed my pictures had too much saturation. I'm using Capture one and the cheeky buggers are boost saturation to make photos imported in their software have that little bit extra pop, had to resort to desaturating everything even though they're raws.
This look so damm good
shame about the video quality though it doesn't really do this set justice. Rest assured folks these will definitely look much better in hand i have a few titles that are shown in blueray archive channel and they look way better in hand.
And i actually love the overuse off holofoil with such title's Furiosa A2 for me is a standout.
Also dig the holofoil use on all titles. I cant wait to get my hands on this set and put a propper video out becouse this lighting is absolutely terrible

Light isn't light. Shooting things in a light box or shining a massive LED light on them showcases thing's completely different to just using natural light
The main function of a light box is to reduce reflections, which also kills shadows, it's the wrong tool being used the wrong way by most people and by natural light I assume you're refering to light coming through a big window which isn't hard to do with a big LED instead, Hollywood does it every day after all.
I'm not arguing they got the video perfect to our tastes, I don't especially like the array of small LEDs which gives those wild mini rainbows all over holofoil but I think it's clear they wanted the video to really pop, which I think they achieved, I just wish they'd taken the exposure down half a stop at least. With enough skill/experience you could have taken the same 'artificial' lighting and made it look exactly like 'natural' light if you really wanted to, because light is light.
Definitely dont agree if you want everything to pop you need better contrast with darkness and highlights, for that to achieve you need way more darkness and a small light to highlight certain parts you want to showcase. This is just overblown with light and makes everything more ugly. I really dont understand how the person who shot this video could think yeah this looks ace lets post it!
