Mad
Max: Fury Road is a reboot of sorts by director George
Miller of his original Mad Max
trilogy, and he has lost none of his power. Given a canvas of desert expanse
and a terrific cast including Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, Miller totally
reimagines a post apocalyptic world ruled by a ruthless gangs in weaponized
vehicles who horde scarce resources.
Essentially structured as one extended chase over the course of the
entire film, Miller extends his masterpiece sequence from The Road Warrior and embellishes it with super, spectacular action
scenes, outrageous stunt work, and special effects. But what this visual
stunner never loses sight of is the redemptive human element and how a group of
disparate and desperate characters can bond together for a greater good and
reveal a bit of humanity in a cruel, barren world. An outstanding piece of
filmmaking that transcends its genre.
