Warning: Mad Max Fury Road is Bad For Your Health.

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2015)

I need to make a complaint about Mad Max Fury Road, because I believe it should come with a government health warning 'This movie is highly addictive and will give you the ultimate head trip during and after you see it (flashbacks!)'.
This from a certifiable art house cinema aficionado . . .
Like a lot of other people I went to see this new story in the Mad Max series because I was intrigued by the trailer, because Charlize Theron is up there with Ms Streep when it comes to acting (ie. Monster) and because anything with Tom Hardy is well worth going to see.
After viewing the film for the first time I came away thinking 'nice visuals'. Two days later, with the images from the flick still banging about in my head, I was compelled to go again, to catch up of the beautifully lit and composed imagery, the multitude of detail in every shot and for the action I missed the first time.
I'm going again today for the third time, simply because I need a fix of this, the first, movie that I most likely will never tire of watching (I'm 56 and have never watched a movie in the cinema more than twice).
That I can't take my eyes off Tom Hardy or Charlize Theron, there is so much (drama) constantly playing in their faces, is another reason not to miss Mad Max Fury Road.
The fact that the film's director George Miller is a genius goes without saying.
