The movie keeps a relentless action pace that makes all of the absurdity seem so completely ordinary, which might be the real magic of this movie. Miller created a fantasy world where men playing flame throwing guitars and leaping through high speed chases on pull-vaults seems like a typical milk run. What is perhaps the most enthralling part of the film is the absolutely absurd story and world building. The action sequences are mesmerizing and the work of a true master craftsman in action. The film is a gripping full adrenaline race across the desert of a post-apocalyptic future. It is still a wonderful and refreshingly directed film to add to the Mad Max Cannon of films.George Miller elevates action and violence to a true art form in this remake of a classic. The ending seems sudden and could of done with some more depth to it, especially the Max character.
Is it an action classic? as a chase film, yes I would say it is, along with set design and stunt work involved But the lack of any real story and small plot holes stop me giving this film a 10, not much is explained in the film.
The film suffers when it eventually slows down in pace, but when it is going full throttle there are not many films that can complete with it. Tom Hardy gives a solid performance but I found his performance somewhat lacking, he does not have much to work with and is limited to a handful of dialogue, I preferred Mel Gibson’s Max. Chalize Theron is great and adds presence to the film, it is one of her best performances. The first half of the film is great and the second half starts to loose steam due to what has come before it. As mentioned before the film has not got much of a plot other then a giant chase. Almost every shot is moving, similar to a James Cameron action sequence. The star of the film is its direction by George Miller, showing generation MTV how to direct moving action without getting lost in its mayhem. It is brilliantly filmed with amazing, and well suited bombastic soundtrack. Mad Max Fury Road is a stunningly beautiful and highly charged kinetic thrill ride.
