A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2015)

Possibly the best action movie I've ever seen, it will also likely be the best movie I see all year. Why is this film so good: 1. Nonstop action with an off-the-charts WOW factor, mostly based on real world practical effects, which are always more convincing than CGI. 2. Characters who are genuinely sympathetic no matter how strange they seem at first. 3. A well-thought out, intricately detailed and consistent world which is certainly no real world that could exist, but is a perfect embodiment of the mythic Mad Max universe. 4. Technical perfection. This is one of the most beautifully and expertly made films I have seen in a long time. Brilliant photography, design, editing, costumes, makeup, pacing, acting, etc., etc. A final word: if you haven't seen it yet, do so. You will not be disappointed (in spite of any expectations created by my gushing review).
