Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Tristan H — 06 Mar 2016

George Miller has yet again created another sci-fi/action masterpiece just as he did in 1979 with the very first Mad Max film. the directing is absolutely phenomenal and he brings his own franchise back to a vivid reinvigorating fresh insurgence.

this is truly one of the best action films I have ever seen in my life. it never lets up at any moment throughout the entire film and I was in a energetic buzz like mode throughout. while also being all of that, it has a surprising narrative depth to it in its view of the apocalypse coming to our world.

Charlize Theron is a complete bad ass as Imperator Furiosa and Tom Hardy is great as Max. while the title of the movie may be Mad Max this is most definitely Furiosa's movie. Theron commands the screen every scene she's in and truly makes it feel like it's her own movie.

Fury Road is a thrilling, energetic, action packed modern masterpiece that will go down as one of the best action films ever made and a fine example of how to bring a franchise back from the dead the right way and make it absolutely stunning.
