One hell of a road trip

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2015)

There are very few movies which deliver exactly what they promise and Mad Max: Fury Road is one of those few. This is dark, tiring, brutal and a very serious movie. But it is visually brilliant and there is no complication when it comes to the storyline. The movie is nothing like the Mel Gibson starred Mad Max but a unique, Theron- Hardy show.
As many of the futuristic movies, this is also set on an apolcalyptic world where there is scarcity of basic elements. It is ruled by 'Immortal Joe' who is considered to be immortal by those below him. But only few like Furiosa (Theron) who knew the truth takes on him by trying to take his many wives away from him into a better place. Mad Max a prisoner of Immortal Joe who is on neither side happens to be in the midst of this chaos, ends up teaming up with Furiosa to reveal the truth to the people.
The film is packed with ruthless action, some epic BGM by Junkie XL who got us that pump up feeling in 300: rise of an empire as well. It is a bit tiring to watch the first 20-25 minutes, but once you start getting the hang of the story, it gets us involved very soon. Tom Hardy hardly speaks in the movie and Charlize Theron has a very important role. Nicholas Hoult is brilliant. A very unique role for him. Other hot girls like Rosie Huntington Whitley are for the pleasant sight at times. If you are a fan of action genre, this is a movie you must not miss. All credit to the director for the grand presentation of the simple storyline.
