The glorification of stupidity

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 2018)

Everywhere I turned there were people telling me about the Mad Max Reboot.
With the original tale the warning was: it's not about nuclear disaster, it's about the lack of petrol. Which did not stop the audiences rave about nuclear disaster, especially after Chernobyl.
With this one the production team made it clear. They put a useless monologue in the beginning to make sure the audience gets it now: it's about petrol. So a wise guy put in a lizard with two heads. Which, like in all cautionary tales written by English majors, lives and functions well.
Now, because the problem is petrol, the only way to entertain yourself is to cover large distances without roads in inefficient cars that are made even less efficient with all sorts of addons.
Precisely because there is no petrol, all people use electric tools that are fueled by the toxic fumes going out from the ears of the writers and director involved.
And because there is no petrol, there are no roads either. Which helps the characters save fuel and run on pixie dust.
It becomes mildly amusing once you start seeing the ugly white corpses as Minions on a budget. Probably painting them yellow, instead of white, would have made the film somehow better.
