Unbelievable action

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2015)

This movie doesn't dawdle. It gets straight to the nitty gritty in no time. Within 5 minutes you will be sitting on a 2-hour roller coaster ride and gripping to your armrest until the movie ends.
With technology being so hot these days, movies have taken on an antiseptic polish and we see more robots and spaceships in controlled, monitored environments than any of us can recall. Even chaos, such as in "Ex Machina", is carefully confined in modern, computerized buildings as its algorithms slowly go out of control. Everything is just so..high tech.
"Mad Max" is a refreshing break from shiny plastic and metal veneers and postmodernist architecture and decor. It's dirty, low-tech, filled with modified monster trucks and amazing stunts that real people could do and the few lucky ones survive. I didn't detect any sort of awkward animation or CGI.
In short, it's set a new standard for the action film.
