"It is one of the best action picture ever made, and now a modern masterpiece."

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2015)

Not many would expect it to be this good. Sequels/prequels to classic trilogies are at times bad, and deemed to be pale in comparison to their pasts. But "Mad Max: Fury Road" developed differently. It is one of the best action pictures ever made, and now a modern masterpiece. "Fury Road" is not just a great action movie; it is a great movie in general.
The world is nothing but a desert wasteland, and fresh water which lives in it becomes scarce. Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is one of Immortan Joe's (Hugh Keays-Byrne), a tyrannical cult leader, biggest associates. She is sort of like a knightess of an empire. Joe sends off Furiosa with a great truck in her control to collect gasoline, but she goes off-route only to betray her leader by attempting to smuggle his five wives for their freedom. Joe unleashes his army, the classic Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) allies himself with Furiosa and thus, the great battle of 'Fury Road' begins.
George Miller creates a picture that never heavily relies on dialogues but actions to tell a story. "Fury Road" is already a masterpiece in that artistic aspect, and obviously it opens up for more open-minded intelligent views of the film. Furiosa's possible love interest, the chemistry between the two lead characters, Joe's cleverness and the relationship between the five wives are being uncovered through showings but not words. Instead of single-mindedly telling audiences, George Miller challenges them.
Just like Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity", "Fury Road" is short on content but excels fully on filmmaking. The film is an energetic, high pitched and thoroughly detailed masterpiece. There is no chance of it being a bad film. People who never understand movies would despise "Fury Road". Mighty action sequences, sharp editing and beautiful cinematography move run through the running of the film. Charlize Theron's strong performance as the damaged heroine mainly helps to maintain the significance of the picture. Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Keays-Byrne too did fine as the delusional young soldier and the evil lord respectively.
I really hope that "Fury Road" will at least be recognised for its editing and cinematography in the upcoming 2016 Oscars, although a nomination for 'Best Picture' is near impossible. With this triumph, my anticipation for its sequel grows strong. It is being written not inexplicably in history that "Fury Road" joined the greats. George Miller exploited his admirable visions that it surpasses his classic movies. George Miller, with his "Fury Road", has brought us to a stage of ideas that have given in unparalleled motion pictures
