Settle in...and buckle up!

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2015)

You know you just experienced something special when you feel drained, exhilarated, and awed all at the same time. This movie, like the featured rig, comes roaring at you from the first frame to the last. Do you want death-grip intensity that clamps on you like a vise? Do you want apocalyptic violence and mayhem? Do you want a surreal, repulsive, entrancing world imagined on hallucinogens? Do you want a music score that bludgeons and maxes out your nerves? Then get this film.
Look, if you want deep character development, an intricate plot, and subtle social commentary, then why are you even renting a Mad Max film? Seriously, this film is more like a crazy death-defying roller coaster that you just hope to hold on through. With the relentlessness of Aliens, the somber dread of Dredd, and nary a smile to be seen in the whole film, this reboot is a very worthy installment of the Mad Max franchise.
