MAD MAX - FURY ROAD (2015)

A while ago I looked at the original Mad Max trilogy, featuring Mel Gibson. Then I mentioned that some of the greatest car chase scenes ever filmed can be seen in these movies. I am glad to report that it still holds true for this latest version of this franchise. Therefor it is no wonder that the six Oscars it received at this year's Academy Awards were all for the more technical aspects of movie making. Still, it is very impressive for a film of this genre. You can also be sure that this will add to its already existing cult status.

In true Mad Max fashion there is not much of a story but lots of action. Starring Tom Hardy as Max and Charlize Theron as the heroin, Imperator Furiosa, the two of them attempt to lead a band of refugees in a mad dash across the dessert to freedom. In turn they are hotly pursued by an evil warlord and his cohorts.

The vehicles are more bizarre, the villains uglier/scarier and the action more hectic than ever before. However, the special effects are so vast that it almost detract from what little plot there is. But that is only my opinion - others might feel that it actually adds to the whole spectacle. Be that as it may, I still rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
