Poor, avoid.

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2015)

Disjointed, pointless story with generally poor acting (Max doesn't even say anything for half the film, and when he does, it is more of a superficial grunt. I'm afraid I think the male lead was weak). Female lead is decent, some interesting bad guys and some good fight scenes/special effects, but none of this is enough to elevate this film above the level of dire in my view. They did try to keep some of the charming madness from the original Mad Max, but ultimately, whilst they had some success, the film is let down by the very poor plot and script, and mediocre acting. Ultimately, whilst an action movie, you have to connect with and career about the characters, at least to some degree, but with this film, it simply wasn't possible. Avoid. 4 / 10.
