Good, but not what I expected

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2015)

There was a lot of hype about this movie, and in all honesty, it more or less lived up to it. It could just be me, but I found the whole thing to be slightly... overrated? Do not get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I mean, it's the closest thing to a proper Borderlands movie I'll ever get. And Charlize was a goddess as usual. But did it deserve all this? Probably not. I lost interest around half-way through the ridiculously long chase around the wastelands, but I decided to stay longer and watch more in case of a major plot-twist. But no, instead you get what I'm assuming to be failed clones of Daenerys Targaryen. And really? How convenient was it that she had a contraction right when it was critical to remain silent. I will admit that the overall execution was impeccable, but the whole thing revolved around escaping from the oppression, only to decide to go back. It really felt like a story-less movie adaptation of Borderlands. As I said, it could be just me as this is the first Mad Max movie I've watched. In Short, the overall "battle" scenes and the environment were absolutely stunning, and the acting was on point, but I felt the story was a bit lacking...
