Absolutely Enthralling

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2015)

I haven't been this in love with a movie in a very long time. From the very beginning Mad Max: Fury Road has you hooked with an extremely interesting environment, characters and culture of the war boys and their illustrious leader, Immortan Joe. As well as a fascinating, dark world we are treated to many explosions and a lot of action, and sympathetic, bad ass women tie the plot together. Our movie starts off with the famous Mad Max over looking the desert wasteland and shortly thereafter being ambushed and kidnapped by war boys, and being held captive as a "blood-bag", because his blood type is O-Positive. While he attempts his daring escape Imperator Furiosa, the other protagonist of the film attempts to free Immortan Joe's 5 wives, who he treats as breeding stock, a way to create more of his war-boys, mindless warriors fanatical in their service to him, who die for him with pleasure. The two meet in less than friendly circumstances, but end up fighting together, to help free the wives, and eventually, all of Immortan Joe's people.
