Totally unexpected

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2015)

I wouldn't usually watch films of this sort of genre, I'm not always a fan of the image that they create and the in your face advertising, which usually disappoint. With Mad Max, it lives up to the reputation. the whole world that is created in this film is marvellous, real aesthetic is built up before the torrent of violence occurs. while of course the film is never going to be heavily character based with complex layered story lines, for what it is, it is a widely enjoyable film. the costume and design is very absorbing in itself, with realistic props being created. I do feel the film needed a little more dialogue, the characters often became unrelatable or cared for due to the lack of development, if something bad happened to certain characters, often the feeling created was less than sympathetic. overall, however, it remains a strong film with good aesthetics created and enough fast paced drama to ensure the film progressed at a good rate.
