A visual masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2015)

I am a fan of the first two entries of the mad max franchise, but I went into this one not expecting too much beyond hopefully good car action sequences. This movie was visually quite amazing, the way the wasteland isn't muted in color and is vibrant and almost bright fit better than I could have ever expected. Some of the camera techniques used I was also a fan of, I thought they did well to fit the context of what was happening on screen and the score helped to emphasize that. The score was another highlight, very high octane (forgive the use of octane) and loved the drastic change from heavy riffs to heavy drums from one sequence to another. I picked this film as my first review on IMDb because it was that amazing to me. It's a very simple plot, just as simple dialogue but the movie speaks volumes with it's visual style and distinctive score. The performances were top notch, the one thing that I think stood out as maybe a universal negative were a few bad shots of cgi, that stuck out in contrast to the practical effects used and to my knowledge cgi that was mostly used to enhance those beautiful backgrounds. This is my first review period, something to do to pass the time. I will try to be as practical as possible, if I don't understand something I won't pretend to, I just won't write about it. I will write about the things I enjoyed or didn't in films, hopefully without winding up being someone who compares a fantasy film to a dramatic novel. These are my opinions, if you disagree cool, if you agree cool I really don't care either way. These reviews are to pass time, not appease people who goto movies making an assessment before seeing it. I'm also not a film expert, and I don't care if you think you are, just because you study film, and the process of creating one does not make you an good at it, plenty of people are horrible at their jobs they have been doing their whole lives. Thats why this is to pass time, I don't think I'm that good at it but I enjoy films and I'm bored. That said enjoy....or not.
