Explosive action packed thrill ride that lives up to the title of mad.

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2015)

It's the most action packed movie I've seen in years, literally.
They sum up the story in about 10mins of the film and the rest of the 2 or so hours is spent racing through a post apocalyptic dessert. All action.
But what I loved most is the retro feel of the movie. It looked like it was made one or two years after Beyond Thunderdome. I can only conclude this has to do with the right decision to let original Mad Max director George Miller direct it. The old school filmmaker crafted a film that looks like all the special effects are done on camera with no CGI.
Tom Hardy takes the wheel as the title character, but in fact his role is very secondary to Charlize Theron, who plays Furiosa, whose trying to help the wives of A cult leader escape his clutches and make it to what they call "green land"
The movie has very beautiful scenery that completely contradicts the insanity of the action. On top of that was a killer musical score going through the whole thing.
Fury Road is a blockbuster that lives up to the frequently quoted phrase, thrill ride, cause it truly is non-stop.
Thumbs up.
