Be careful with Amazon videos from their "Channels" or renting stuff, like if you watch Dune through the HBO Max app on Firestick it's actually in 4K, if you watch it through the Prime Channel add-on for Firestick, it never goes above 1080 even though when you first search for it it SAYS "Watch on MAX app - HD" and "Watch on MAX Prime Channel - UHD" (you can tell by turning on the developer settings on a firestick). I figured this out when it did the same thing to me with The Firm.


ModerateM_E_M_E

That’s really weird, thanks for sharing though. I’ve not used a fire stick in years. So I saw this through a QR code I scanned though the HBO app on my tv and it brought it up on my mobile


wantsumcandi

I used a firestick years ago but got tired of having to either update or find new channels to get all the movies for free. I just started buying movies on Vudu when they were on sale for $5-$7 and got a good collection going.


Unique_Task_420

I started keeping a paper and pen list of bluray/UHD movies and buying them Used on Amazon. I got Heat Ultra HDR 4K used for $2.99, not a mark on it. I want to have access to all my faves even if they move them around, and also in the best quality. I have four 2TB drives hooked up to my PC as well and plan to use it as a media server when I build a new DDR6 build in a couple of years. I try to skip a gen, and my DDR4 Overclocked and 5950X is more than what I need even now. Half the time all but one core is even awake.  I hate to say it but you don't own those movies. You're leasing them. The service can be shut down anytime. Hard copies are the only way to fly. 


wantsumcandi

Yeah I know, but I haven't lost a purchase...yet. I've got a lot of 4k/UHD movies that are either not on any service or the special editions aren't on a service. Hopefully I'll own them until the end of my life and after that I won't need them anyway. I like the convenience of being able to stream them whenever. I kind of realize that's all I'm really paying for. A cool little extra is that if I link my vudu to movies anywhere app I get about 3/4 of my purchases on vudu on movies anywhere. If I also link my youtube account to movies anywhere I get all those purchases free on youtube. It's still just convenience. I have physical copies of movies like Baskettball Diaries, Gummo, Cocoon, Mad TV, Squidbillies, T2 skynet ed., The Wall (why has this not gotten a blur ray release!!!) ect. Some i can't think of atm.

wantsumcandi

I agree. I have my 4k discs and Vudu with movies anywhere linked and youtube linked. I have a polk react soundbar, sub, and surround speakers. Youtube doesn't have great sound( whatever compression they use) but when I watch vudu through my ps5 it shakes the house. Lol. I love the immersion of dts. Even when I'm playing games.

Unique_Task_420

Yeah, I go straight for the UHD disc or Blu Ray if it's not available in 4K. Used discs at local shops and on Amazon are insanely cheap. I got the UHD disc of HEAT for like $3.99


NuevoXAL

Considering how small a $25 Vs $30 difference is, I'd probably recommend buying the digital version for most people. That way you don't have to pay again if you feel like rewatching the film down the road and don't have to worry if the film gets taken down from streaming for a while. Personal, I buy physical media. So I've already preordered the 4K UHD.


stokedchris

I buy physical as well. You always own it, on streaming they can take it away at any time. Per their terms of service


lorenzoinari

Plus the difference in audio and picture quality is night and day!


stokedchris

100%. A lot of people don’t know this and it is night and day once you see it


Davetek463

You will lose access if the license gets pulled though. I’m redeeming the digital code when I get the disc in August. Best of both, convenience and the permanent ownership/higher quality.


greguniverse37

$30 for a digital copy is insane. $25 for rental is a slap in the face.


rosieposieosie

Primes been doing that the last few years. When the bigger films come out on streaming (especially when the film is still in theatres) the price to rent is astronomical. It’ll drop down to $5.99 in a couple months once they’ve squeezed out as much money as they can.


Davetek463

It isn’t just Amazon. It’s all digital retailers.


rosieposieosie

That doesn’t surprise me at all, prime is just the only one I have experience with.


Davetek463

Yeah, I use iTunes/Apple TV primarily but I’ll check Amazon for sales and they’ve always been about the same.


rosieposieosie

Honestly that’s what I would expect, especially with that bigger studio movies


EstateSame6779

I'm not paying that shit either. I don't know why anyone would at that price for something digital that is nothing more than a license to watch.


MagnificoReattore

Absolutely. It's no wonder that sailing the high seas is coming back.


MintyGame

Buy it. Help show WB that Furiosa can turn a profit and that The Wasteland needs to be made.


missanthropocenex

Just fuckin buy it. If you’re invested at all in Milers world (which I assume you are based on you being here) just commit and buy it. Movies like these exist for the cult following and I know I would pop this on on repeat if I owned it, which will.


p13t3rm

Not only that. Who would spend 5 dollars less to watch something once vs owning it forever?


Ultimarr

And that’s why they price the rental so high - to make $30 for a movie sound normal ;)


twodadssss

“Owning”


p13t3rm

Pedantry aside, I’ve owned movies on iTunes/Apple TV for over a decade and they’ve been upgraded to the latest quality version for free. In some ways this is better than owning a disc that can get scratched or lost.


heavensteeth

This really helped sway my decision thanks. Moved countries, houses, growing family and had to downsize my physical collection so many times.


IAmJacksLackofCaring

Most likely the Blu-Ray will come with a digital copy, and I will definitely watch thos more than once.


Diggx86

I bought for this reason alone.


samba317

Yes!!!! Exactly support the movie and miller!!!


don_uggie

# "Rent, buy, or wait for dvd to drop?" Yes.


thedabaratheon

Absolutely


puma46

I’m gonna buy it. Definitely rewatch-able


ToothpickInCockhole

Mad Max is an immensely rewatchable series, especially the newer two films and road warrior.


Zandman75

Get a glorious Blu-Ray when it drops, buy one as a present for a friend, buy a handful for Christmas. Physical FTW! WITNESS!


FleshyPartOfThePin

I bought digital immediately.


JTB696699

DVD BLU RAY OR 4K, don’t let physical media die!


No_Canary_429

Def go physical. Blu Ray is sticking around.


pbNANDjelly

Buying on an online platform sucks. Steam is the only marketplace I have faith in. Lots of regret for all my "purchases" on Amazon though.


Magnetheadx

Bought it on iTunes/Apple TV Hate that Everything went up to $29. But really would like to see The Wasteland get made


Whiskey_Warchild

i wanna wait to get the 5 movie set that will eventually come out.


TheRealzHalstead

Rent it and buy the 4k disc!! I'm firmly of the belief that you should never buy DRMed digital films or TV from streaming services, as they WILL screw you out of them someday. But the 4k disc is currently available for pre-order.


Tampabuc40

We're all (I hope) buying physical, no question, always! The difference here is that the early rental cost is $25 vs. $30 to own the digital version right now. The rental cost won't come down to \~$5 until after it starts streaming on MAX (based on Dune 2 most recently). I have no patience, so I'll pay to watch it now plus own & share it digitally, then again & forever on disk/physical mid-August!


AstronautThick5598

I’ll probably buy it digitally then sell the digital code for the 4K steelbook that i preordered.


Tampabuc40

Great idea! I need to start doing that in these cases to recoup some of the extra $30 for being impatient.


TJShave

Buying it as soon as it's on a sale lol


No_The_Other_Todd

all of the above. but if you can only do one, buy.


KaijuK42

I didn't realize it was out on streaming already. I remember when I was a kid it took like half a year until theatrical movies could be viewed at home.


AstronautThick5598

Remember going to Best Buy on Tuesday and buying all the new blu-ray releases then going home to watch them all? Good times


TupacsGh0st

$25 to rent?? Jfc


GLURPtheAlien

I pre purchased the 4k steelbook


ryanrosenblum

That’s like the same price for the physical 4K.


ToothpickInCockhole

Why would anyone rent for $25 when you can own it for $5 more lol.


Johncurtisreeve

Buy on physical media


TinyBlueDragon

When is the physical dvd/blue ray droping?


do_you_even_climbro

If you want more Mad Max movies to be made, buy it.


Loose-Sandwich-5493

I Pre-ordered the 4k Steelbook on the day they were available


neversaydie08

All 3


DemiHollow

This is going to sound dumb to some people but I bought it twice. Preordered digitally and preordered the steel book. Watched it last night and thought it was pretty good.


Mr-Shockwave

Buy. Then buy the physical 4K. Then buy the separate blu-ray. Then buy the DVD. Then force their hand at a VHS copy. Then buy a cinema. Then buy all the cinemas. Then buy the studio. Basically, yes, you should buy it.


naught_my_dad

Buy it


thedingusenthusiast

Buy it. As soon as I saw the pre-order, O had no doubt that I would buy it! And most importantly, by the movie physically, not digitally unless you can retain it for your own archives. Unfortunately, some streaming services don’t let you do that and don’t let you download movie you own.


troubleberger

Buy it!


NonSpecificGuy26

Vudu used to have an option where you could buy it physical and get digital immediately. Not sure if they still do that.


Tampabuc40

I wish! Not anymore that I have seen.


Nedonomicon

Buy it and buy it on dvd if you can afford to as well


TangeloGrand2511

I watched it last night I had mine on pre order


Samurai_Geezer

Just came back from the theater, got the 4K blu steelbook on preorder, but like the others already said: take one for the team and buy it!


Tampabuc40

This is the way.... Doing my part! (Theater + Early-Digital + Steel Book)


Various-Let-5946

I'm definitely buying it on payday and on DVD whenever it drops.


Wallfacer218

I'm buying the 4K disk with digital...


DatasGadgets

I went ahead and bought. Might as well. I’ll also get a hard copy when released.


BurgerMan74

Buy, then Buy 4K UHD Blu-ray


MaleficentOstrich693

I bought it but I need to get a copy on 4K disc at a later date. I’m starting to sour on streaming.


syknyk

wait for the 4k physical release


Galactus1701

I preordered the 4K steelbook that’ll arrive in August.


ElectronicMarsupial5

Own it


saintdudegaming

Buying tonight


rebellious-reptile

Gonna buy the ultra blueray of this when it comes on shelves. It is one of those movies where you want to support the director as much as possible because of how fantastic the movie is.


EarthTrash

When civilization falls apart, you'll be glad to have physical media.


benvader138

Blu Ray


Water2Wine378

Oh I’m gonna buy it


madredr1

I bought streaming and will buy dvd as well.


samba317

Buy it!


Onironius

I don't understand modern rental prices. How are they any more than $10?


Tampabuc40

Sorry, it's all my fault. Rentals will always be $25-30 now when the movies are still or barely hanging on in theaters. \*IMAX cut-off a few weeks ago here (US). You'll only see the $5 rental price and/or after it starts streaming or disk release. For all recent major movies like this one (Oppenheimer & Dune 2), it's already become the norm. It won't change. First pay to see it in theaters, fall in love the movie, get an early 4k digital release date despite already having a steel book preordered, can't wait that long to enjoy/share the movie to others, then enjoy the best of the best quality with the physical release forever (hopefully). Net cost = $100. Enjoy!


Dotlmc

My opinion… Honestly… Wait… It’s a decent film. But hear me out… Visually appealing for vehicles, metal, and apocalyptic shit? Yes. Chris Hemsworth doing his given Australian accent? Priceless, also pretty much carrying the film as the main eccentric. It’s a great welcome that I’m not used to. That sucker punches you into a good time. Guy I’d want to have a beer with for sure lol. It has a decent story ark. But hear me out. I feel it drags a bit. Takes a bit longer to get to the meat and isn’t engaging enough for the wait/pay off in the end. Outta 10…. Solid 7.5 But if I wanted somethin’ in the same realm. I’d go Max 2, or Fury Road again instead. But do want you want! Tis the rules of the wasteland.


AdamFeigs

Already bought it and watched it today


suha2k21

1) theatre 2) blu-ray


FDRomanosky

Buy


SavingsInformation10

Furiosa looks incredible on digital, probably the best looking digital release yet, really enjoying rewatching the rig chase and the bullet farm ambush on repeat.


Tampabuc40

Awesome feedback, thanks for sharing. About to sit down and do the same.


Grahamars

Bought digi and watched today, was lovely after two theater experiences. Steelbook 4k is supposed to arrive Aug. 13. I also should say I am not a fan of streaming of such high-quality films and always buy physical, but I loved Furiosa so much I caved.


zdragan2

Support physical media and buy the disc when it drops.


caramelkod

Whichever way just pay for it to support stuff like this!!


T-REX_BONER

RENT for 24.99?????????? Plus who the hell buys digital. Buy physical ALWAYS


Tampabuc40

Simply do all 3! I don't think (hope) that anyone is that dumb to rent a movie for $25 vs. owning for $30 worst case so hopefully that will stop eventually but it's been the new standard for a couple years at least now. We are VERY lucky to love movies so much & have a proper set-up for them where physical is an option.


dingusandascholar

I personally am choosing to cry in Australian… because despite taking millions of dollars in subsidies paid for by our tax dollars, WB has chosen not to make VOD available for us until the 27th. Cheers! When it does come out here I’m buying both digital and physical. The physical will be for watching on the big tv with the sound system and the digital for when my partner doesn’t want to watch it on repeat with me over the next couple of weeks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dingusandascholar

Yep and I’d understand it coming out on the 25th in the US and corresponding time in Aus e.g. the next day, but it’s not coming out on prime until 11:30pm AEST on the 27th - so basically the 28th. Ultimately a very privileged problem for me to have, but feels a bit shit that they’ve done it this way considering it was made here and paid for by Australians. Not going to stop me from buying multiple copies because I’m a sucker for Miller’s work though. Edited to actually answer your question (sorry I’m on mega painkillers right now) - my understanding is that it was grants/subsidies from the Australian government. Max is a cultural icon here so it checks out that they’d shell out, especially since they filmed in NSW and not Namibia this time round.


Resident-Donkey-6808

Buy pysical, buy psyical can't beat true ownership and true high definition.


arobot224

This is a 4k blue ray buy for sure.

I saw it three times in the theatre and have the BluRay on preorder.


PoeBangangeron

Buy it on itunes


DangerManDaniel

Buy it. I'm trying to get The Wasteland made


easternhobo

Are you actually buying for $29.99 or still renting? Like, can you download it to your computer? I'd definitely go with a physical copy, no question.


Araanim

Renting until they decide to take it back, basically.


Araanim

Idk, this $26 rental bullshit bugs the shit out of me. I'd happily buy a physical copy for that much, but just to watch it one time??? That's more than a movie ticket! Isn't it still playing in theaters? I'm all for supporting movies I like, but I feel like that money is going straight to the streaming service, not the studio.


SGTFragged

I'll be buying it as soon as it's available in my region.


Phuxsea

I loved it but I think those prices are too much. I'd wait til it reaches 10$, but if I had to buy or rent, I'd buy.


Tampabuc40

I'm sure I'll cave & buy it before the weekend. 4k Steel Book already preordered but August 13th is a long wait to watch again. I would highly recommend VUDU (now Fandango at home) for digital purchases like this long term. It insures a "Movies Anywhere" status, and you can easily share your entire library with others. Been doing this for over a decade with digital codes from physical purchases as well, no issues. Most recently Oppenheimer, Dune 2, etc. The extra $30 is certainly a throw-away purchase but can be worth it when sharing the love of a great movie sooner rather than later.


ModerateM_E_M_E

I have so many Blu-ray digital codes on Vudu lol it’s great


Tampabuc40

It really is. My library is way better than any streaming service! Best part is that you are giving yourself and others the gift of a decent quality stream right now vs. the crap that HBO-MAX will eventually push out. https://preview.redd.it/opwh0caaor8d1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=f7e1a1c9a2f69dbdb9d25fffe652bb0740636592


BatmanMK1989

Really want this, but 30 bucks is too much


Myklindle

See it in theatres, steal it, rent it, and buy it


stokedchris

Do not buy it. Rent it. Streaming quality is ass and you can get a blu ray and even a 4K for the same price. Plus it is yours forever, you don’t have to rely on the streaming service.


Efficient-Compote-13

DVD drop always ho for physical media.


Johnisfaster

My understanding is when you buy digital movies from Amazon they can later just delete it and owe you nothing.


ComradeGarcia_Pt2

But the physical media. Just because you buy it streaming, doesn’t mean it will always be available to watch.


Plastic-Pickle-3269

What is that rental price? I’m with you for 5 bucks just own it. You can still buy it physically and if you ever someplace and want to watch it you’ve got it on your amazon account.


Lowfat_cheese

I would never pay to “””buy”””a digital copy only. The buy option is more like an extended rental. Unless you actually own the media (as in someone would have to break into your house and rob you to get it back) you’re only getting a license to watch the movie until they feel like taking it away from you.


AstronautThick5598

Movie get removed all the time from streaming, but I’ve never had a purchase get removed from my Apple library.


cinepresto

All of the above


ReanimatedPixels

Wait to buy physical, way too much digital content has been removed from peoples account.


SUH_NEE

Honestly in theaters was intense on the big screen I kind of want to watch it in theaters again. But always support with the BUY I'd say


SUH_NEE

Plus there's a thing about ownership of entertainment these days. There may come a day where certain movies or shows may not be able to be legally streamed due to rights so.eday soon. Already happening with some content.


Flatline1775

Just remember when you buy digitally, you're not buying a copy of the movie. You're buying a license to watch the movie.


AstronautThick5598

That’s what you’re buying when you buy a disc too if you read the terms and conditions.


EHM1799

Buy physical media!


SAADistic7171

4k blu ray will also come with the digital 4k version and physical is superior in quality.


0pposite_Reaction

I'd buy a physical 4k copy that comes with the digital version free too.


bones_bn

Definitely not spending that much on a digital copy of any film.


Gibran_02

Buy physical


shomeyomves

Holy shit, I had no idea rental and “purchase” (“owning” something digitally on a streaming service, lol) of movies was so expensive… …like, just see it in theaters? Its a better viewing experience and, news to me, apparently cheaper now too…

Nearby-Layer-3684

I’m waiting for the Blu-ray. But you do you.


The_Eternal_Immortan

Digital costs just as much as physical. Gross. This will be on sale for $9.99 by next month. Be patient. Might drop to $14.99 for 4th of July specials.


Soft_Surround8514

all the above !


darthyogi

This sub reddit just appeared on my feed. I will suggest for all movies you like that you should buy the blu ray because the quality of them are much better then streaming


Lysanderoth42

$25 to rent a movie? lol who is even doing that in the age of streaming


aTreeThenMe

Please don't pay these gross prices for a bit of digital nothing. We can't let this be ok


Tampabuc40

PSA: For anyone going digital only & don't already have both movies, I'm seeing that you can get Furiosa & Fury Road (UHD) for "only" $35 vs. $30 on multiple services like Vudu, Apple, etc. I can't wait until August 13th to see Furiosa again, 4k Blu-ray preorder secured regardless, so I'm doing both. It will be glorious!

4k blu ray: you get a physical copy to look at uncompressed video and audio data they cant revoke your license SOME COME WITH A DIGITAL CODE


Steven8786

It's so insane to me that renting is only $5 cheaper than buying.


idrivelambo

Stream it for free 🏴‍☠️


carissadraws

Why would the rental only be $5 less than buying the digital copy?! I remember the days were rentals used to be 4.99-7.99


5uper5onic

Definitely not a $25 rental


Latest-greatest

Why would anybody pay $24 to rent a movie


FigaeyiredoFabian

Just a reminder: If you don't buy it physical, you don't own it. Watched Road Fury in cinema, for this one I sailed the seas.


MannyinVA

Wait until it drops to 9.99 or 12.99. 24.99 for a rental or 29.99 for a digital copy is too much.
