Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Amy C — 07 Oct 2017

Mad Max: Fury Road exemplifies what a pure action film should be. Rather than having the action sequences support the story, it's the action that dominates the film. And the action was done authentically and with style.

This is a film where you would want to watch over and over again just for the visual experience. In addition, the plot was straightforward and doesn't overindulge the audience in any way. The backstories of the characters weren't covered in the film, however, it is clear that during each character's short stage time, a complex past can be inferred from their concise dialogues, costumes, props, etc.

(ex. Furiosa's robotic arm was never covered in the film because it does not support the main story, however, it is still in the film). Ultimately, this is a rare film where its creators had enough time to develop the story, characters, and action to last beyond its two-hour film time.
