Storyline
An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a
stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is
crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two
rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max,
a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind
following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos.
And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to
survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to
her childhood homeland. Written by
Production
Mad Max : Fury Road Movie Reviews
I was left speechless when this finished. It can be hard to describe indeed.... but I'll go for it...
Sheer
madness that isn't sullied by bad acting or laughable lines. A
blockbuster that is gritty and doesn't have a sense of humour that could
be equated to a fluffy kitten. No 'lets all hug' sentimental BS.
This
is seriously a movie I thought I'd never see: a CGI-filled blockbuster
that I flat out loved. The stunts are so much fun, the FX so great, it
is the first movie I have seen where I have thoroughly enjoyed all this
type of stuff - probably because the cinematography for once doesn't
suffer cos of it. It is all incredibly shot.
The action is so
brutal and appropriately high-octane. I thought to myself more than
once, 'I think I am loving this more than Terminator 2' but other than
that, there wasn't time to think. It kicked off fast and barely stopped,
and the lulls were amplified by the insanity preceding them. Plus it is
a dark film, which made it even better. I many people do an Aussie
accent even close to well, was Hardy actually trying for that? Either
way, he didn't talk much so it didn't really matter. This is more
Theron's movie than Hardy's, he doesn't say much and does next to
nothing for the first third or so. Theron's Furiosa is more of the hero
is the story, if there were to be a hero in such a grisly and dark
world.
I don't even like this type of movie but goddamn, the execution is everything. I'm gonna go see this again, soon. 4.5/5
