Delivers on what the trailers promised

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2015)

So trailers promise a non-stop car chase through the desert and this is what the movie delivers.
Max is back and he is less mad and more insane. Haunted by the ghosts of lost loved ones he has only one motivation in life, to survive.
He finds himself captures by one group of baddies in this movie, he escapes and joins Furiosa and some innocent girls in a quest for freedom and the green land.
While the movie merges together the desire for many different fluids (guzzline, water, blood and mothers milk), makes commentary on the socio-political landscape of the world that we live in and has lots of awesome actions sequences, in the end it fails to deliver.
The characters do transform and overcome, the tables are turned and the good guys beat the bad guys, but it is not done with any great dramatic flair. Or to put it another way, it started with great dramatic flair and had nowhere to go. So while it ends on dramatic flair, it doesn't build to it.
Also while it is a 2 hour long car chase it is still a nuanced movie. It was fun to discuss some of those nuances after watching this movie, but could have benefited by being more explicit about it.
