Usually when I get done with Fury Road I have to watch Dredd afterwards. I love both those movies so much and they are tied in my head together.
Dredd and Fury Road were like a brief incursion from another universe where blockbuster movies never got replaced by cape slop. 80s style action but with 2010s writing and special effects
Avatar as well. The whole second half of Avatar 2 made me realize CGI could be good if put to better use. Cameron knows how to keep shit grounded and tell a good visual narrative even with blue giants slaughtering yanks
Staying grounded is the important part for good CG. Even though it's capeshit, I always compare Black Panther in Civil War vs the Black Panther movie. Civil War Black Panther looks great because there's a lot of actual actors and physicality to the reference shots. Fast forward to the final fight in the Black Panther movie and it's a floaty, disconnected wholly CG mess.
Dredd absolutely should have had more movies. It got lost in the 3d craze so people handwave it away but it was truly great. Karl Urban is legend.
I agree. I feel like Dredd was just a few years too early to catch the brief R-rated blockbuster resurgence. I wanted high budget Dredd vs Death?
Another great movie. Top 10 action movie for me easily. It's too bad they didn't make more. Urban is perfect.
i should have read further down thread because i just commented this! same here!!!
