So much more than "just explosions"

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2015)

Disregard all the reviews you've seen saying that this movie has "no substance," or "lacks a storyline". The movie is supposed to be action packed, and that can be distracting for certain viewers, but when you look beneath the explosions and remember the whole point of the movie, it's quite a beautiful story about fellowship between those who rebel against an oppressive dictator for different reasons: survival, freedom, peace, and the most common theme of redemption.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The scene where Furiosa removes her prosthetic arm and drops to her knees after hearing that her home place has been destroyed gets a lot of criticism, where its described as over dramatic, but if anything, is less dramatic than it should have been. The main characters find out that their entire journey has been in vain and everything they hoped for has been destroyed. Of course, this is hardest on Furiosa, because not only has she condemned herself to this horrible fate with false hope, but also the entirety of her company, also realizing that she'll be killed, even if the breeders survive, and I'll leave that up to you to decide which is a worse fate. If that were my position, I'd probably be upset at the moment too.
Overall, Mad Max: Fury Road is a highly underrated movie with a great storyline, great character development, and insanely great special effects. I highly recommend re watching it if you haven't yet, keeping in mind the plot line.
