MAD MAX has to be the best movie I've seen this year. It is exhilarating, captivating and invigorating. I haven't seen the earlier movies but it does sure feel this movie must have done justice to its predecessors. Believe the hype, the movie will leave you grasping for more.
I may be over exaggerating, but the movie is perfect in every way. The acting - Tom Hardy as always is exceptional, but sorry Tom, Charlize Theron as 'Imperator Furiosa' kicks ass and steals the show. Credits to Nicholas Hoult also who portrays the War Boy 'Nux'.
The film is shot so remarkably, that we are left in awe. Look out for the scene where the rig disappears into the desert storm. And the action sequences have been shot so magnificently. This has to be one of the best action movies in a long time. It reminds you what action movies are.
The accompanying soundtrack by Junkie XL is also quite riveting, keeping in the line with the plot of the movie. I'm so excited for Batman vs Superman, as Junkie XL and Hans Zimmer are composing the soundtrack together!
Set in a dystopian future where humanity as a concept has seized to exist and the last remnants of society have been placed under the tyrannical rule of Immortan Joe. We get an early glimpse of the protagonist of the film Max [Hardy], who has been captured the War Boys - the cult of Immortan Joe.
Amidst all this, we see Furiosa [Theron] driving a war rig to collect gas. She is seen taking a detour which alerts Joe, who's wives are with Furiosa, and the chase begins. Luck fortunes, and Max is united with Furiosa, as both are escaping the War Boys, and we are to WITNESS [pun intended] a magnificent, violent and action packed chase sequence. Do they make it to a safe haven?
Even the supporting characters of the movie deserve a lot of praise, be it Immortan Joe, his wives or his sons. The casting is perfect and everyone does justice to their roles. I wish Rosie Huntington would have had a larger role though.
This movie is not to be missed on. One of the better movies seen by me in recent times. And a must watch for all adrenaline junkies who love action.
My Rating - 9/10
