Move aside hollywood, this is how the AUSSIES make their action films!

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2019)

Mad Max: Fury Road is directed by George Miller and is the forth and hopefully not last in the legendary Mad Max franchise. The action in this movie was ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLLLLLEEEEEEE! and everything I was so desperate to see again in the Action film genre. The movie is shot PERFECTLY. Seriously, every single shot of this film has it's own place and purpose of pushing the action forward and the cinematography blended with the stunts and practical effects, explosions and destruction is electrifying to watch and is pure cinematic magic to behold in all it's pure kinetic and masculine glory. The sandstorm sequence was so incredibly well crafted and shot my jaw dropped the first time I saw it in theatres. It's still one of the most awe inspiring action sequences ever shot on cameras and put together in the editing room.
The film reeks with Australian wit and attitude and bleeds with human emotion as we relate to the struggle of Furiosa and her ruthless drive to save her people from the evil Immortan Joe's control. Many crazy and memorable character follow like the over confident, fanatical but easily influenced Nux, The Five Wives, Rictus, The Organic Farmer and of course, Max. Who is so mad that he barley even speaks, but he gets better throughout the film as his ability becomes better and better. Tom Hardy has incredible prescence in the movie with the mouth brace now becoming an iconic image in cinema history.
Fury Road truly raises the bar in what it means to make your movie as awesome as humanly possible. The action sequences are large in scale with so many different types of post-apocalyptic vehicles to play with, the rythym of the action is also pitch perfect and operatic in it's excecution. The explosions in this movie are joyous to watch and bring out that childlike instinct in you who just loves the beauty of watching things blow up that made you a fan of action in the first place. The whole choreography of the destruction in the movie is all directed with such complicated precision and structure, like the structure of a song or a sequence in a fireworks show. It's all pre planned with such brilliant motion and timing, again your jaw drops with just the style of how it all unfolds before your eyes.
Fury Road is perfect in it's style and execution and gives the action fanatic exactly what the want to see. A non stop action thrill ride aswell as an emotional story to boot with a vivid and detailed world and backdrop. The music is great too and again adds so much adrenaline to the whole experience. A vivid and practical action masterpiece that will go down in film and pop-culture history as an Australian classic showing George Miller's practical handcrafted techniques over CGI and conventional modern Hollwood action filmmaking style that slowly become the norm. We honestly need more movies like this again and I hope future blockbuster hear Miller's plea to reinvent the trend
Overall, pure razor edged Action masterpiece with Australian magic sprinkled into it's DNA with a compelling post-apocalyptic story and action squences which are ruthless in their delivery and will captivate and electrify the audience in it's style and scale with an outstanding female co protagonist Charlize Theron makes the movie. She was a pure badass aswell as being very emotionally depthed. I hope there is a next installment in the works, It will probably be more story orientated over Max's character and his relationship with the Australian wasteland around him and the characters that live in it over the action sequences, because I have no idea how the action showcased in this movie could be topped
