George Miller is a genius.

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2015)

"Mad Max: Fury Road" is one of the best, most creative, and epic films I've seen in a long time. It's easily the best action film in decades. The directing, acting, cinematography, music all work in a symphonic precision to deliver one of the most fun and enveloping cinematic rides I've ever experienced. And I love movies. (If you couldn't tell yet.) And I love big movies. But so many "big movies" are brainless and forgettable. Not this one. George Miller knows his format with an insight shared by few in his industry these days, and this film is a brilliant showcase for a faceted career in story-telling on the big screen. It literally is a "moving picture show", and I hope that this film serves to reinvigorate an interest in audiences to see practical special effects and real stunt-work in Hollywood films. You can't beat the real thing, and this film is a real movie. Did I mention yet that George Miller is a genius? :)
