A film where style IS the substance.

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2016)

Occasionally, films will be criticized for having style over substance. With Mad Max: Fury Road, the style IS the substance. Every frame of George Miller's post-apocalyptic epic is rich with detail and a near obsessive level of perfection. At first glance, the story is minimal, although with repeated viewing, the many layers to the film become more obvious.
The amount of the story you recognize is irrelevant however, because this is a spectacle film in it's truest form. Dialogue is minimal, yet every action sequence is it's own coherent story playing into a larger whole. No punch, turn, or grunt is without consequence or meaning. This lends itself to multiple viewings, each one revealing more than the last.
Visually stunning, deceivingly shallow, ultimately deep and captivating.
