The world belongs to the MAD!!!

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2016)

'Mad Max: Fury Road' is the continuing saga of drifter Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) in a post-apocalyptic world. This time, Max comes across a vicious warlord and aids in the escape and plan of a rebel called Furiosa (Charlize Theron).
1. George Miller goes above and beyond in this much-anticipated sequel of the beloved franchise. If you were expecting a movie filled with drama, romance or even a compelling story-line, this really isn't that type of film. The action is wall-to-wall the moment the movie starts in a sequence where Max tries to outrun and is eventually kidnapped by the 'War-Boys'. There are three key action sequences that blows your mind; starting with the Sandstorm, the desert Gorge escape and the final chase back to the Citadel.
2. The plot is simple, so there's no confusion. Furiosa smuggles the beautiful sex-slaves/wives of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) out of the Citadel, and the war parties hunt them down after finding out the wives are missing. The only downside of this film comes when things slow down. Near the beginning of the last third, the characters take a pit-stop (basically) and try to gather their thoughts when they realize the place they were looking for isn't actually there anymore. Talking about philosophy and future hopes really isn't a strong point for these type of films.
3. I can understand if people won't like it due to all the madness, but it's surprisingly tamed enough to where things never feel like it's pushed to a breaking point. Unlike Tarantino or Bay, Miller knows exactly the right mixture to making a near perfect adventure film. Hardy and Theron are the key players here, although it feels like we get a bit more character development of the latter. This film won 6 Academy Awards, and it's well deserving of it. From the cinematography, editing, artistry, costume and production design, it all blends in a spectacular fashion.
'Fury Road' is a long chase sequence from beginning to end, but I guarantee, it's a ride you'll never forget;)
