Hungkat’s review published on Letterboxd:
"You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane."
It's a mad mad world ! A burning sensation of awe-struck calamity.
The Epic of Epic Epicness. Everyone quietly goes insane together after they have witnessed this one rip-roaring work of madness. This is George Miller's grandiose ambition of a metal concert in the sweltering desert, with the thunderous drumming and ear-shredding guitar pandemonium. The boisterous, well-oiled engines burn up and all hell breaks loose.
People are fighting their way out of grief and the tyranny of mankind, plastered with the warped reality of a catastrophic wasteland. Lead by Furiosa, the women are fighting for their freedom in a barren world, trying to break free from their shackles of "barbaric men". There comes Max, a drifter who's trying to escape from his insane mind in order to find redemption. Their paths then crossed, leading to a spectacular run-away from the meaningless brutality... in dire need for a glimpse of hope.
Fury Road is one sandy painting of a future world where everything becomes futile. The go for broke set pieces and well-orchestrated high-flying stunt sequences will melt your brains, leaving you in a constant state of incessant euphoria. This is not just a movie but a portrait of lost souls, wandering through a devastating landscape merely to look for a real “slice” of life.
This is the Valhalla that we seek and Furiosa is GOD.
