Fantastic on all levels

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2016)

Mad Max Fury Road? A captivating movie, set in post apocalyptic Australia, a world bathed in fire and blood, and if you are trying to disappear from a long and strenuous day at work, or just disappear, then surely you must see this: teeming with explosions, gorgeous Victoria's Secret models, stunning cinematic shots and metal music, it is a magnificent film that will definitely guarantee adrenaline coursing throughout your veins. There are tragic moments, ones where characters can't fix what is broken, and are nearly driven insane; and for the lovers of pyrotechnics, the special effects, though neither hyper realistic nor far from reality, which, when you consider a budgeted film, is quite fantastic. Nearly everything in Mad Max Fury Road is strange, however, and before watching it you must see three things: Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Beyond Thunderdome—you will be gripping your seat with anticipation. This advice is very reconcilable, for it is spectacular, the amount of converts to the series, after watching all four films. Because the film grips you, in an unequivocally transcending bond; the time passes by less noticeably than the froth of a cappuccino amidst one's lips; this I hope, is the way that time passes by in a Bahamian paradise, without any desire to return to reality; for that matter, these two escapes, sitting on a Bahamian beach and watching Mad Max, have another striking parallel: serendipity. The average viewer, for instance, watches a prolonged car chase, while being serenaded by brilliant and cunning dialogue—no matter what, they will become enthralled in George Miller's world; and viewers devoured by their own emotions, will love this film.
