Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Andrew S — 26 Mar 2016
This is a $150 million dollar science fiction art movie. Watch it with that in mind, but it is a ton of fun to watch. Amazing stunts, awesome design work, and a nice restrained use of CGI... Not that anything in this movie is restrained.
This nuked out Australia has more life to it than in the past, and it looks like a surrealist's automotive nightmare. Max has always been a spectator to his own story in the fallout world set up in The Road Warrior.
He is the last identifiable link to "our" human world. A guide we follow as he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. This movie takes that idea to the extreme, and Max is just about the least important part of the movie.
That's ok because this new Mad Max world is no place for "normal" humans.
