Theron's dystopia

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2015)

Fast paced and gritty, Mad Max continuously tries to engage the viewer visually. The movie succeeds in doing just that but lacks emotional depth and and almost any semblance of nuanced characters. The movie's strong point is it's feminist tilt and the overpowering performance of Charlize Theron. Also you cannot help but be mesmerized but the dystopian universe that the director has created. Flame spouting guitars and all purpose war cars are just a few of it's charming features. The movie feels almost half an hour too long, and the viewer will most definitely guess what the ending will bring. Tom Hardy grunts and succeeds in looking pretty but mostly takes a backseat to Furiosa, Theron's character. CGI use is limited, which is a rarity for such movies. Overall, visually entertaining and violent with a dash of supermodel. Just be careful to not get dust in your eyes.
