You really can feel the maximum force of the future sitting in that theatre, which is a rare and unexpected pleasure. The other NINETY are practical, and it oozes with that spectacle. According to the filmmakers, roughly ten percent of all the effects were done with CGI. The stunt work and visual effects deserve praise all to themselves. _Fury Road_ is more of an “experience” than most movies are, it just happens to be a great film, too. Warner Brothers took a big risk when they handed a 70 year old man nearly two hundred million dollars to revitalise his franchise which has been dead for 30 years, then get out of the way and let him do his thing. There has been much discussion as to whether Max himself, or his cohort Furiosa (played by Charlize Theron) is the star of the film. And the world of _Fury Road_ is something else entirely, I can see why people aren’t blown away by the story, but the world is incredible. Just last year, _John Wick_ showed us that you can get away with a pretty thin premise, if you work hard enough on building a thick, palpable world.

The plot isn’t deep, or complex, or intricate, or philosophical. I would respond by saying, there might not be as much story as you could **want**, but there is certainly as much as you could **need**. The number one complaint I’ve been seeing about _Fury Road_ is that there’s not much of a story.

I’ll keep this’n somewhat brief, because I only saw the movie once and it was a few days ago now.

**The following is a long form review that I originally wrote in 2015.** The sound track of the Blu-ray certainly gave my subwoofer an exercise as well. Still it is a decent futuristic, apocalyptic action movie, maybe not living up to this old movie geeks expectations, but not at all a wasted movie evening. I would say that Tina Turner and Mel Gibson still rules! She was cool but she was still underwhelming when comparing to anything in the original bad-ass Mad Max universe. I could have lived with that if this character would have been really impressive but she was not. He certainly was far from the original Mad Max character in my opinion and was really overshadowed by the Furiosa character. In this movie he was not really that impressive.

To me he is supposed to be a real bad-ass. What I think was my largest let-down in the movie was the Mad Max character itself. Not that this part is not expected from a Mad Max movie though. It provides some spectacular scenery but it also puts a bit of “what the f…” feeling to it all. The bizarre vehicle designs and the totally ridicules behaviour of a lot of people in this movie is alone worth watching it to be honest.Īs with the previous Mad Max movies this one stretches the bounds of reality (I hope) when it comes to human behaviour and how they waste the few precious resources, specifically gasoline and bullets, that remains after the apocalypse. We are not talking about superheroes or near magical technologies here but instead we have a devastated landscape, scrounged together equipment and a totally ludicrous desire to blow up the last remains of human civilisation. It differs from a lot of the usual special effects movies in that the effects are pretty down to Earth in a bizarre way. It is of course yet another special effects movie and as such it does not disappoint. It is not as obvious as with Robocop and a few other movies but the feeling is there. I think that, again, the Hollywood plonkers have opted to make a movie that got a more palate rating (to them and their cash registers) than what it should have been. That being said I think it was a bit softer than I hoped it to be. I would say that this movie is pretty much the kind of movie that I expected it to be.
