My biggest problem with the movie

Not only all that but the production chose an authentic radioactive area to film in . Just outside Swakopmund is a large Uranium mine and the whole region has a high background level of radioactivity, plus for added fun the local military quite regularly lobs artillery shells into the desert very close to a number of the shooting locations

Fury Road is very comic book, it has been developed by a comic book artistic, it's been pitched in a comic book format, it's being sold to an audience of comic book movie lovers. Resenting that fact isn't going to prove or change anything. Optimus Prime went from a Kenworth COE to a long-nose Pete, it made over a billion to a new audience. Time to get over it.

This.

The day I start vehemently arguing over the plausibility of minor details in a science fiction movie is the day I stop watching movies and seek help for being a miserable old man.

You saw a DCP. I have seen MM2 over 15 times in theaters, from the original release on, for over 10 years. I have seen it over 100 times on VHS and LD, and back to theaters. I know exactly how it should look.
The actual look is the DVD look. The Blu-ray is crap, you can listen to the commentary, where the DP talks about colors you don't see on screen (because he made the commentary to the old DVD version).

I saw an old 35 mm print, not a DCP.
Because the film was damaged here and there, the guy who organised the evening apologized for the poor quality of the screening.There's no doubt about what I saw. After, you know, you saw a tanker with a green 7-Up logo 115 times

But anyway, let's forget about this, you are sure about what you think, I have a totally different idea from what I saw... fair enough.
I'm more curious about this new BR release you were talking about... You mean a new transfert ? What's this ?
And also, how do you know that they made the commentary for the bluray in front of the DVD ?

Put it up to me being a foreigner, I had no idea what that 7 logo stood for and assumed it was some promotion. You know we aren't all australians lol.

Re: MM2 print, it's documented, fans even went to screening with captures of both the DVD and the Blu-ray to see what a print look the closest. It's the DVD. Fans are working right now on restoring the DVD/LD colors to the HD print.

I'm not australian, I'm french...

After, OK, I know fan try to change the colors of the BR to make a middle version between the BR and the DVD. They can make what they want, why not.
What I know, it's for exemple, the redish version of the movie make the blood in the gasoline disapeared at the begining of the movie. When I saw the BR first time I was really surprised to see this. When I saw, last time, the movie on a big screen, there were no doubt at all. I remember taking a look at the landscapes and said myself, ok, it's green. In the DVD everything is red/brown. So, I don't know if a 35mm print can be different each others, but what I saw was more or less exactly the color of the BR. Now when I look at the DVD, it looked like very odd to me. The fact, guys, is that you looked at it during more than 10 years and really get used to it. You want your old VHS feeling back... The DVD has the color balance far in the red. Even the sky look red. The BR has the natural colors, when I say "natural" I don't speak about the 35mm print, I speak about what you can see in reality, and the colors of the behind the scene pictures. The sky is blue, the bushes are green/blue and the blood is red...
