The not so Mad Max movie is quite great

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2015)

This movie isn't canonically a mad max movie, and that's not bad. It is magnificent. It has a good premise, great acting and a lot of topics to tackle. Post apocalyptic world, cult dynamics, gender issues, personal redemption and it tackles them all quite well. At a lot of times, I forgot that I was watching a Mad Max movie or even an action movie, till the well crafted explosions reminded me. The story isn't quite new, but well made and serves the events right. The issues presented at the movie are quite great and it made me ponder a lot into a lot of issues, deep and profound ones. The stunts and visual effects are great. It could have used some more mundane tasks drama (e.g. resource management,etc..) but that never seemed to be quite a hindering point to the movie.
