> [@DrFidelius](#): > > And Mad Max was the weakest of the series. They found the right aesthetic with Road Warrior. Which version did you see? I understand that the studio dubbed the version shown in America, claiming that Americans wouldn’t be able to understand the Australian accents. (this was 1979 after all, a couple years before the Australian craze in the US.) Even with the dubbed dialogue it wasn’t as fun as The Road Warrior. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > **Mad Max: Fury Road** is by far the best movie I’ve seen in the past few years. It’s also the best action movie ever made, bar none; nothing else even comes close. I agree it should have won the Oscar for Best Picture last spring. I cried a little bit when I read this. ---

> [@DrFidelius](#): > > Uncanny Valley is independent of production techniques. It is simply when the imitation is just close enough to reality to make the viewer uneasy. Right, but maybe it’s because I’ve seen a lot of stop motion toons as a kid that it doesn’t look odd to me. ---

Not exactly what you were being criticized for, but I think you know that. ---

> [@Richard\_John\_Marcej](#): > > Well, it wasn’t Uncanny Valley, it was stop-motion animation. Uncanny Valley isn’t related to motion. Just a single still image of the film definitely strikes me as Uncanny Valley material. Typing Anomalisa into google and choosing image search was enough to make me go “Ew ew ew make it go away!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-movie-of-the-last-3-years-2014-2016/772016.md?page=6)
