Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2016)

Nominated for 10 Oscars, George Miller's post-apocalyptic chase movie Mad Max: Fury Road is one of those rare summer blockbusters that lives up to the hype. That may be because the movie literally has its own hype man.
The main characters, Max (Tom Hardy) and Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), bolt across the wasteland of their dying world with the captured brides of ruthless warlord, Immortan Joe. Furiosa believes that returning to her homeland can provide salvation, and the drifter Max has been caught up in the ride. Immortan Joe, and his army of insane followers, will stop at nothing to retrieve his war brides.
Amid the literal beat of war drums secured to tricked out dune buggies, the action catapults forward at an unyielding pace. The preposterous villains chase Furiosa and her posse through the desert, atop motorcycles and monster trucks, shooting guns, spikes, fireballs and themselves at our protagonists in an effort to slow them down. These dim- witted steampunk zombies are on a kamikaze mission to Valhalla, and die they do, each one in a more hilarious manner than the last.
Are we surprised when the villains fail? I guess I forgot to care with all of the endorphins firing in my brain. This movie was designed solely to entertain you. It is an absurd production that is pure spectacle. So get some popcorn, sit back and WITNESS!
