Mad Max: Fury Road 2015

★★★★½

Rewatched 16 Jun 2022

“Out here, everything hurts. You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now pick up what you can and run.”

Certainly the best action film from the last 20 years, and one of the best of them all.

It is truly impressive what George Miller did here, enchanced by Margaret Sixel’s editing. The bombastic soundtrack does the job of elevating the emotion of it all.

Fury Road is unbelievably beautiful from the visual standpoint, the cinematography combined with the insistence on using pratical effects and filming on site produced tangible sceneries and settings.

From the get-go the film is engaging, and it keeps it that way until the very end. The action sequences are simply superb, thrilling, cohesive and well-thought.

Although Mad Max’s world was already fleshed out in previous movies, in Fury Road the creativeness of it all is completely amplified. The film is populated with mind-blowing ideas and concepts, all surrounding the dystopian-apocalyptic setting.

Finally, Tom Hardy’s and especially Charlize Theron’s performances are top-notch, passing through so much of emotion and meaning with so little lines and dialogue.
