Mad Max: Fury Road



Have you not seen this movie? No? Well, you need to close your browser right now and head to your local theatre. I'm serious. Go. Right now.

For the rest of you, it's already clear. This movie is freakin' amazing! Visually, it's one of the most stunning films I've ever watched, but overall it was hands down an incredible experience from start to finish.

Tom Hardy kills it as Max, a lone traveler fighting to survive on his own in a post-apocalyptic world where most of the population has, of course, gone savage. He is captured and taken to a fortress called The Citadel, wherein he is thrown into the beginning of the story's major plot. I'm not here to give spoilers; just to give praise to this amazing film. The characters are exquisite. The design of their costumes as well as the unique vehicles they command is top notch and incredibly detailed. The action scenes are breath-taking. I literally had to gasp and take in a deep breath after the first twenty minutes. There was so much going on that all my energy went into keeping up with my eyes. The cinematography and choreography kept me glued to the screen for the film's entire duration. I was in a state of pure enjoyment.

Furiosa (Charlize Theron) takes on Max (Tom Hardy) in my favorite fight scene of the film. The choreography here incorporated six other characters in their duel and it was both exciting and amusing to watch.

There's so much more to say about this film, but I'll leave it at action-packed powerhouse. Before the film was even halfway over, I had already added it to my top ten greatest action movies of all time. Congrats to all involved.
