Storyline:
An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
Mad Max: Fury Road User Reviews:
I enjoyed the old Mad Max movies with Mel Gibson so I looked forward to this new iteration. It had so much potential. Special effects are better these days and it had a good cast. That being said I went in with an open mind. There is a some good in this movie but there is so much bad that it is greatly disappointing. Ridiculous moments include: water is in short supply and precious yet when it is doled out by the local kingpin it is wasted with most pouring onto the ground; a rock guitarist in red long johns in the desert on the speaker filled truck; a nipple chained corpulent character; spray painting mouths to be "chrome bumper like" as an exit statement before dying; lighting a road flare inside a gas filled car with no explosion (gas ain't water, folks) and on and on. My friends and I spent more time laughing then enjoying. Just like John Carter they did not think this through. Some tighter editing and elimination of silliness would have made a better movie. The best part of the movie was Charlize Theron.
