Proof that a non-stop Action-horror film can last nearly 2 hours

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2015)

8.1 of 10. This takes everything in the original sequels and ups it a notch while seemingly providing a prequel to the original films. The action is non-stop, the gore and desert dystopia beyond anything the original had to offer and bordering on horror often.
The downside? The end of the world dystopia scenario is less believable than it was in the early 1980s. There have been much better scenarios since then and they failed to integrate them (especially another female-hero anime called Nausicaa (1984) that remains the best of the Mad-Max series and imitators). It's also a little too cartoonish at times the way people are able to bounce around and survive brutal accidents. But it fits within the story of the film and is made believable enough to not interfere with the overall enjoyment.
It is true that this would be better called "Mad Maxine", but contrary to criticisms Furiosa lives up to any version of the Max character and gives the second half of the title and film meaning, plot, and mystery to enjoy.
