The roar of the grease, the smell of the desert crowd.

They are on their way to Valhalla. Witness!
This is a re-imagining of the original Mad Max movies with Mel Gibson. There is no direct link other than Max. On these boards I asked "What is the basic story?" A couple of interesting replies are:
" In the new world order there is a family (faction?) in monopoly of (each of) the resources, one has the water, another the oil production, and another the gun production. Furiosa escapes the clutches of the water baron taking his captive breeding women. He pursues her with the help of the other monopoly members. She realizes her dream homeland is gone so she returns to the water baron's place, killing him en route and taking over his fiefdom. Along the way Furiosa encounters Max, who decides to help her. "
" Leader of bad guys has 5 models who are his brides who have his children for breeding the pale white guys. girls run away, bad guy chases them across the dessert, max helps the girls and battles the bad guy. max wins by ripping off the bad guys face. end of story. boooooring as hell but pretty to look at scenery and oh so cool chase scenes. "
So whether one considers this boring or exciting depends on one's frame of mind. In the chases across the Namibian desert it is almost nonstop action. Chases, shooting, flame-throwing guitar playing, cars and motorcycles crashing, explosions. I have to give credit to the filmmakers, and the sound track has much deep bass to emphasize all the action, you need a home theater with a good subwoofer to really appreciate all of it. I watched it at home on DVD.
I enjoyed all the main actors, Tom Hardy is Max and Charlize Theron is the crazy lady, Furiosa, who takes the truck and the women to set out to find the Green Place of her childhood memories.
