Brutal, high octane brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2016)

Firstly many people who've seen this title without watching the originals say that it's just one long car chase scene, well, welcome to the world of Mad Max. Since the beginning Mad Max has always been about 'a world gone mad' and a world where people only understand violence and cars. Not a bad world really, however Fury Road does give a good story behind the epic car chase. With a relatively sane, Furiosa, risking everything to help save a group of female sex slaves from an evil post-apocalyptic warlord, Immortan Joe, with unfortunate Max getting tied up in the middle, and kicking some serious ass in the process. As with the previous entry's in the series Fury Road doesn't massively focus on Max, he is a very important character, but he is greatly tied up in other peoples affairs. To summarize Fury Road is a fast paced action film with great acting and some very well scripted moments. With brilliant costume design, an epic original score and some amazing visuals, you can do a lot worse than Fury Road, and not much better.
