decent but monotonous and shallow

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2015)

The theatrical preview for Mad Max had my hopes sky-high. I was expecting avant garde, post-apocalyptic poetry on screen.
The plot is thin, the dialogue severely uninteresting, and the special effects mostly a long, repetitive car chase through a desert. There could have been so much more story telling and character development but the film forces you to do the work of filling in those blanks with your own imagination.
Nothing groundbreaking to see here. Mad Max is the kind of movie you watch "because it was on". The good parts are quite good but it still struggles with a b-grade script.
