A High Octane Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2016)

Mad Max : Fury Road is not your typical action film. After watching I can honestly say I haven't seen anything like it. The action is relentless, and the effects are spectacular.
The Action :
Nothing beats a giant war rig screaming across the wasteland, being chased by a fleet of armor plated vehicles, piloted by an assortment of strange characters. The action scenes are intense and choreography in this film is top notch. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
The Effects :
So often I go into an action movie these days and see a film riddled with CGI effects, and honestly it's getting a bit old. Mad Max is a blockbuster using practical effects. And it's glorious. From the vehicles, to the explosions, to the weapons. It brought me back to the days of Terminator 2.
The Soundtrack :
A gigantic vehicle drum with a wall of amplifiers and a personal mini stage where a crazy looking person shreds a flame throwing electric guitar while dangling from bungees, while hurling into the depths of an epic battle? This movies soundtrack was genius, because not only did it have a great score, but this vehicle at times BECAME the soundtrack. Heavy guitar riffs during intense action sequences with the shredding guitar man in the background added another dimension to the film. Also, the score was unbelievable. Particularly in the ending scene. Absolutely epic.
Overall :
This was one of the best action films I have ever seen, and one of the best films I have seen. As a die hard action fanatic, this satisfied my craving for high octane destruction. If you haven't seen this movie yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
