Mad Max promised Maximum Madness, and delivered

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2015)

Never watched the original. So no expectations there.
Always like Chalize as an actor. Tom, neutral.
Set out to watch an action flick with hot chicks and amazing sets, and a costume fantasy pretending to be a science fiction. Totally delivered.
So basically...
if you don't care about technological realism (less than 30% of so-called science fiction movies have technological consistency anyway)
if you have no expectation for story world consistency, or story plot (simply because they call this "science" fiction so we've been warned)
if you accept cartoony modern Anglo-American style male-female relationship portraits even as Rome is burning and the entire human race is going to go extinct...
You will enjoy the ride. Expect lots of amazingly coordinated vehicle stunts, awesome epic desert scenes, high energy pro-circus-grade physical stunts, over the top visual feast of steam-punk-ish sets and props, pouty skinny female models in strategically torn skimpy white linen sheets...and of course, boy-short hair Chalize Theron managing to look hot without mascara. Tom...well, did his job.
My biggest complaint: sound effect and music too loud, excessive action scene fatigue.
Still, I enjoyed it overall, as just another weekend popcorn flick.
