You'll know after 20 mins if this film is for you... Not for me!

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2017)

Despite having not seen the old Mad Max films I was looking forward to this given it's 8+ rating on IMDb.
After 20 mins, I had suspicions it wasn't quite going to be what I was hoping for, however given the reviews I persevered.
After 40 mins I wondered would the film ever calm down a bit and just relax.
After an hour I realised it wouldn't, but I hung in their waiting for a great ending...
It never materialised.
The film is just bonkers. It lacks any meaningful story line. The beginning of the film barely sets up any kind of plot, nor does it properly introduce the characters involved. For the first 20 mins, I wondered what the hell was going on.
You get the gist shortly afterwards, however all you get is more of the same and the same and the same for the whole film.
I really like the post apocalyptic genre, as the Directors have so much scope to be creative with back stories. However, this film has next to no back story at all.
There are a few cool details to the post apocalyptic World that have been thought up and are to be admired, however it doesn't make up for the total lack of a meaningful plot.
Instead, you are 'treated' to an hour and a half of special effects, stunts and craziness which all gets very repetitive.
Personally I sat through all of it waiting for the film to show me more than just action scene after action scene. Something a bit more meaningful and interesting. It never comes.
You'll know if you are going to like this film after 20 minutes. If you do, then great; keep watching.
If not, don't stick around expecting anything else. You'll be bitterly disappointed.
