A visual Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2015)

Having anticipated this movie ever since the first trailer, having seen this movie as soon as it came out in theaters and having bought it on bluray as soon as it was possible, I can say without a doubt that this movie is great. True, I am not a connoisseur of the original Mad Max movies, but that doesn't mean I don't know a good movie when I see one. Fury Road is definitely not all action and explosions! (Though they are present from start to finish) the movie also has it's serene and meaningful moments. These are always accompanied by stunning visuals and amazing cinematography. What's almost more impressive than the film itself (almost) is the making of it, with all cars and explosions being practical and the concept art reaching back 10 years. Truly a masterpiece, infused with metaphors, representations of industry, war cult and economy, all set in front of a beautifully designed backdrop.
