Worth watching at the cinema

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2015)

Well, that was... weird.
Raw, brutal, grotesque, bizarre, surreal, savage, pure adrenaline. This is just non-stop car chases and action. Great visuals, great score, great production, makeup, scenery, stunts and practical effects. Plot is thin as paper - and yet Charlize Theron manages to shine and do a great job, while Tom Hardy is almost transparent.
My main critique (other than the thin plot) has to do with the editing. Like in many action movies these days, the editing just just ultra-fast, to the point you can't really understand what's going on and your eyes get really tired (combined with the theater's air condition). I can see why someone wrote that it's better to watch it in 2D before watching it in 3D.
The grotesque angle reminded me of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's style, mixed with "The Name of the Rose" (Jean-Jacques Annaud), "Judge Dredd" and "300".
All the audience had the same look on their face: "WTF did I just watch???"
All in all, this is a decent movie. Just put your brains in neutral (no pun intended) and enjoy the visuals and the rush.
