A Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (18 September 2015)

This movie is atypical of today's multi-million dollar blockbuster, special effect movies. The premise is a good one, but the movie fails to pull it all together. I thought the director rushed to cram everything in within a couple of hours instead of building out the characters and storyline. It tried so hard to stay true to the original two Mad Max/Road Warrior movies with the post-apocalyptic world and there's a nice spin in the movie (instead of a fight for gas this time it's about the scarcity of water) but it ultimately just wound up being a movie about a bunch of monster cars and car chases. Tie that to a sub-plot of women being used to bread warriors and this COULD HAVE BEEN a really good tie in to the original Mad Max movies. This was a disappointment, but many will like the action and explosions minus a true storyline.
