Ending the Knight
8.5/10
A comprehensive look into how Director Christopher Nolan and his production team made "The Dark Knight Rises" the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend. These cover stunts and action, production/vehicle design, various effects, photography and shooting IMAX, sets and locations, sound design and music, story/character areas, cast and performances, and some general thoughts about the series.
The Fire Rises: The Creation and Impact of The Dark Knight Trilogy
8/10
This feature-length documentary delves into the trilogy, opening with the inspiration and vision for the new Batman films and inching its way toward the Rises finale and the culmination of nearly a decade of creative blood, sweat and tears. Candid, thoughtful and extensive, and comprised of revealing behind-the-scenes footage, countless interviews, audition tapes (with Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy doning the cape and cowl), and a narrative grip and momentum all its own, it leaves no stone unturned.
Going Mad: The Battle of Fury Road
7.6/10
For 20 years director George Miller fought to unleash the ultimate Mad Max movie- Mad Max: Fury Road. Witness George's journey from the dream of a female warrior to the harsh plains of the Namibian desert to statues of gold in Hollywood, California.
The Road Warriors: Max and Furiosa
6.2/10
Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron chat about their characters, marvel at Miller's methods and praise his foresight and command, laugh and shake their heads at all they went through in the desert, and hint at just how difficult the shoot was at times. Both actors are genuinely in awe of Miller and the final film, and humbled by what he was able to achieve with what, at times, struck them as chaotic and confusing.
Maximum Fury: Filming 'Fury Road'
7.1/10
An extensive introduction to the practical effects insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road, the challenges faced by the production team and the cast, George Miller's vision and process, the development of everything from the storyboards to the script to the elaborate chase sequences, and much more. It would have been amazing to have a filmmaker's audio commentary or a more sprawling production documentary, but this will certainly do... at least until Warner announces the inevitable Furious Edition re-release (or whatever execs decide to call it) that we're sure to get in the near future.

6.5/10
