There's a certain raw velocity that this movie just gets right

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2015)

I went to the cinema with small expectations, since i remember that i kinda enjoyed the first three Mad Max movies, but they didn't really stuck with me. But it sounded like this would be a "classic" action movie with a lot of real stunts, not so CGI heavy like all the super hero movies nowadays and just a bit different. Boy and it is! I haven't had such a blast watching an action movie since Con Air or Terminator 2, there's just a certain raw velocity that this movie gets right, like few of them do. I won't tell you too much about the story, i certainly liked it and it's a nice "postapocalyptic" one, with great characters all over the board. Max is great, not talking much at all, but it fits him perfectly. And then there's the mentally and physically scarred Furiosa, marked by the harsh conditions of this cruel world. She's the character you will be rooting for the most, played brilliantly by Charlize Theron, which might just be my new favorite actress for her portrayal of Furiosa. Her screen presence is just so strong. The rest of the cast is really wonderful as well and cast spot on. All in all, a movie with fantastic action sequences that get you up on your seat(literally), a very cool post apocalyptic mood, strongly played and likable characters and just great pacing: it gives you time to breathe every now and then so you can fully enjoy the next part of this wild ride!
9/10
