Mad Max: Fury Road

*SPOILER FREE

In an era ruled by commercial dominance, cheap thrills, and quality scarcity comes an authentic blockbuster to save action cinema with a gratifying motion picture that's worthy of the genre. "oh what a day, what a lovely day!".

Mad Max: Fury Road is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action adventure following Max Rockatansky, a survivor in a wasteland, as he joins warrior Imperator Furiosa on her battle against the ruthless cult leader Immortan Joe.

This is an adventure of a lifetime, a cinematic ride in the metaphorical and the literal scene of the word. This is a tale of survival in a land of stripped humanity. With a touch of feminism in the narrative and behind the camera.

Australian master filmmaker George Miller reboots his franchises of destruction and outbests himself in this legendary installment that took almost 30 years to see the light between development and production delays only to become one of the greatest action spectacles in cinema history.

This is top-notch filmmaking of every aspect, minimal dialog and maximum visual fascination, over-the-top stunts and practical effects, outstanding music, and... on-location Cinematography. This is as committed as epic cinema can and should be.

Excellent casting with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in the lead who give exhilarating performances.

Mad Max: Fury Road is a turning-point masterpiece of 21st century cinema, a reminder of the real magic of the movies.

...

Available to watch on Netflix, HBO Max, and on Amazon Prime Video
