Mad max is the most insane, yet perfectly executed movie I have ever seen.
Mad Max Fury Road is an add on to Goerge Millers Mad Max franchise. Goerge Miller also directed this film, and gave us one of the most insane, yet perfect movies...ever. The entire length of the film your eyes are glued to the screen, and your jaw is glued to the floor. The action sequences are brilliant, and over the top. This movie is practically all one action sequence. There isn't much plot, but there isn't a need for one. The action sequences are executed perfectly. The special affects were not only spectacular but also moving. Every angle, the atmosphere, the car chases, and then there is the storm. During a car chase a giant dust storm appears,and the action continues inside the storm. Lightning, explosions, and slow motion kills, make this one of the best scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
The characters are all awesome, and the acting is great. The nemesis is terrifying, and so are all the characters chasing after max. The soundtrack helped give the movie a dark and at the edge of your seat feel. This films visuals are some of the coolest, most bad-ass, most grotesque in any film to date. Character designs were excellent, top notch, and definitely Mad Max worthy! And the car designs, OH MY GOODNESS THE CAR DESIGNS, are the coolest to date. Nothing beats these cars, not even a fully pimped out, fully-upgraded-anything car in any video game can beat the designs in Fury Road (Unless the Mad Max game coming later this year can rival them). I mean, there's a literal stage on wheels fully rigged out with speakers with one guy on a custom electric guitar that can shoot flames out of its neck! HOW MUCH MORE METAL CAN YOU GET?! The soundtrack I almost forgot to mention but now that I've been reminded I cannot get it out of my head. The soundtrack is also fantastic! It's composed by Junkie XL and he did a fantastic job capturing the pulse-pounding action of Fury Road.
The movie is not just high-octane action and incredible pursuit vehicles; the themes of freedom, sacrifice and redemption form a strong emotional core for the movie. Stellar performances from Theron, Hardy and Hoult elevate this to much more than a mindless action flick. Hardy's monosyllabic Max is tortured by a past he cannot forget, while Theron is splendid as Furiosa, willing to kill (and die) for a childhood utopia she can barely remember. Hoult is unexpectedly able as Nux, in a role that calls for equal amounts of viciousness and tenderness. No matter how high your expectations are, believe me, this movie will meet them all, and then some!
Fury Road is an epic action ride that delivers solid entertainment for both action fans and fans of the original trilogy, Miller has taken so many years to get this franchise back on the screen and the results we see are the best we've seen in filmmaking and the genre itself.
