Signifying Fury In An Imaginative Gloriously Detailed Display

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2015)

You've got to Admire Director George Miller's Imaginative Costuming and overly and often Grotesque Display of Post Apocalyptic Wheeled Machinery and the Endless "Road" Battles.
But...and this is a Big But, after about 30 Minutes it begins to make the Mind's Eye Glaze Over and put the Viewer in an Uncomfortably Numb state of Nightmarish Nothingness.
The Film is Scant on Plot or Motivation beyond the Elementary. Good and Evil are Displayed in a way to Displace Philosophical Musings with a Comic Book Look and Grunting Testosterone Telegraphing.
Tom Hardy could have been Replaced with an Unknown and Nothing would be Diminished. He is Literally Dumb, Insane, and Without His Wits and is reduced to Groans and Hyper, Spastic Movements.
Charlize Theron is equally Replaceable with very Little Dialog and Just Glares most of the time.
Overall, Action Junkies and Thinking Deprived Attention Deficit Types will most likely be Enthralled and Entertained. It is one big Eye Candy of a Movie that is at Its Best when it Invites the Viewer to Scan the Screen for all of that Loving Detail that Miller put Into the thing.
Others, with a Hope for a Modicum of Storytelling and Rumination about the World's Resources and Lack Thereof are most Likely to be Furiated.
