Dark, high octane, Ruthless movie !!

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2015)

In a world where civilization has collapsed, water is scarce and humanity is broken. Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) is the leader of a large group of survivors in a town called Citadel. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) escapes the town with Immortan's five wives in search for a better future and War boys were sent in search for them. While escaping, Furiosa meets Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) who was being held captive by the war boys who went in search for the wives. Once free, Max and Furiosa help each other and were on a path of survival. They headed east where Furiosa's childhood homeland once was, but after realizing the home where Furiosa once lived was no longer there. They decided to go back to Citadel and confront Immortal Joe. On the way back to town Immortan Joe gets killed by Furiosa giving the town of Citadel a sign of hope opening the water supply to the town.
Mad Max "Fury Road" is a ruthless, high octane movie. From its very first scenes you can feel the energy that the director George Miller is trying to project to its audience. Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) speaks about how he used to be a cop and now he prefers to stay away from those who are alive than dead. Getting in his car and driving off he quickly realizes that he is being chased by War Boys, who are pale warriors with blisters all over their face due to the radiation. Max ends up being capture by the War boys after his car gets pushed sideways making him flip the car.
The introduction of the new Max Rockatansky as Tom Hardy was great in my opinion. A man of a few words, a lonely wolf, a crazy hard core Max. That is what I seem to remember from the previous Mad Max movies. The two hour long movie is full of stunts, explosions and car chases. The Computer Generated Imagery also known as CGI was slightly low as some of the explosions and actions sequences looked more like computer games than a movie. But you can easily forget about those details as soon as you see the types of vehicles they have with customized enormous engines and tires that not only use gasoline but also nitrous oxide to increase speed during those car chases. The director's idea of having a massive stereo on top of a truck with a guitar player who uses the guitar also as a flame thrower was mind blowing. You tend to have different perspective of where the music is coming when the action begins. This part will make you want to get in your car and drive fast while listening to a Metallica song. At least that's how I felt. The characters were great including the beautiful Charlize Theron, but it was hard to see Tom Hardy as Max. From the very few times that Max was speaking I couldn't seem to stop thinking of Hardy's English accent. Also, Hardy is so darn good looking. I felt like Max needed to be an uglier, raggedy actor like the old Max.
Overall this is a thumbs up movie. The movie kept me fired up to the end. Although the ending was clichéd, a happily ending story without a plot twist. I would still watch it again without a doubt.
