Bigger Cars, Bigger Guns and Bigger Explosions

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2016)

George Miller continues the post-apocalyptic saga of Max Rockatansky (Hardy replaces Mel Gibson) after a thirty year absence from the screen. The historically violent series, which includes Mad Max, The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, picks up Max's legacy with faster cars, crazier villains and a bigger budget.
This time around, Max finds himself taken prisoner by a band of engine worshiping raiders known as the War Boys. They are led by the sadistic Immortal Joe, who hoards water and imprisons young women in order bare his twisted children. When one of his top in command Furiosa (Theron) breaks the women out of captivity, Joe sends all of his forces in pursuit to get them back by any means necessary.
The War Boys are incredibly fun to watch. They cover themselves in a white powder and inhale chrome as they throw their sickly bodies at any obstacle in their way. Immortal Joe is their god and the V8 engine is his roar. Nicholas Holt's Hux shows the War Boys' determination to please Joe as he tries and fails time and time again to recapture Furiosa.
The action is out of this world entertaining. Every single character is beyond belief crazy, the explosions are eye-popping and the chase sequences are incredibly well choreographed. There is not a minute of the film that isn't action packed, from the opening scene of Max being captured to its eventual bloody conclusion. Plot and structure have no place in a world where how loud your car is and how big your gun is rule the day.
