Sound and fury signifying nothing

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2015)

Noisy, flashy, jazzy, inescapably visceral and ultimately vacuous. George Miller more or less remade his own Mad Max 2 thirty-five years later with zillions of dollars bigger budget and nought heart. There is not a single original idea which is not from the early Mad Maxes. Nothing makes sense even within the rules of its own universe, where insects are the only source of protein but orthodontistry is state of the art. Tom Hardy is reliable as ever and Charlize Theron is magnificent. But even they can't save this ickily camp two- hour long car crash, which is destined to bring in more gold than an overworked Midas.
