Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Rafael B — 14 Sep 2017
The finest practical vehicle-based action sequences since Indiana Jones first chased after the Ark of the Covenant. This is one seriously incredible action movie!
At 70-years-old Dr. George Miller is crafting more exciting and original action scenes than any young action filmmaker working in the studio system today. Because he focuses on the thing that big blockbuster action flicks so easily forget: tension. There is a near constant state of tension and fear for our heroes throughout this movie.
It's also an action movie with more than one thing to say. This isn't just about telling a good story, it's also about respect for human life, even in the midst of complete and utter chaos. It's also about hope, seeking redemption, and caring for others above yourself.
This is an action movie with heart, purpose, and the most bonkers (but coherently shot and edited) action sequences you're likely to see this year! It's the kind of risky, bold, and exciting action entertainment that Hollywood just doesn't make anymore. It's miles ahead of Avengers! Go see it!
