120 minutes of non stop brutal action

Rating: 7/10 (24 September 2015)

The real pleasure of the film lies in its maniacal action, its impossible stunts, and the sort of images that tend to stay embedded in your memory. There's utter chaos in the attack scenes, which defy both logic and gravity and yet seem to make perfect sense in the world Miller has set up. It's truly a roller coaster ride of a film, and I'm happy to report that the 3D never feels intrusive. Shot against mostly bright, saturated landscapes, the film has a very different visual palette from the first Mad Max movie. Sure it's a slim plot, and there's very little dialogue, but the writers do a good job constructing a surprisingly feminist tale.
