Mad Max: Fury Road 3D: I should have been paid money.

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2015)

Not much of a wasteland -- as far from desolate as you can get. There was no consequence to anything -- virtually nobody ever died, or was shown to be injured -- thus, any fighting was about as exciting as watching other people playing a sport. Captain America had more gore with its vaporizing guns than this movie had after 2 hours of nonstop shooting of real guns. It felt like a Nerf war. Like the old GI Joe cartoon, where everyone magically has a parachute. Like they were glaringly going for PG13 and failed. Since there was no consequence, it was hard to care about any of the characters' motivations. Multiple occasions were clearly made to please the super-politically-correct SJW feminist crowd, further weakening the impact.
There was no remaining reason for me to be spectating this movie other than to look at pretty imagery and other elements of the film. I didn't care about anyone -- factions chasing Mad Max somehow had me rooting for them more than Mad Max and crew!
If the movie did one thing very well, it was making everything look real and not CG -- I haven't seen this level of effects realism since the 90s. If it did two things well, it didn't shy away at showing disturbing things (milking, c-section, drug spray paint, biological issues of all types (except injury)), but it bizarrely avoided death and injury altogether -- jarringly pulling me out of the movie, continuously, as mentioned above. Not even dehydration was allowed, as everyone magically survived on scraps of water.
This movie was not filmed in 3D and should not have been brought to 3D. The disgusting editing resulted in scenes often changing perspective several times per second, completely jarring the viewer as they have to refocus every time. It was Transformers-esque in its action. It felt like the entire movie was the climax of an action scene -- very well done if it had been 10 seconds long. Turning the climax of an action scene into an entire movie was exhausting after about 1 minute, and was torture after 5 minutes. I should have been paid $9 to sit through this crap, not the other way around.
Reservation withheld for 2D version, especially if uncut and extended.
