There's a reason this movie is sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Whether it's one of the explosive car sequences, or one of the smaller emotional moments, Mad Max: Fury Road refuses to let up on tension for one second. Total chaos relentlessly ensues for the majority of the film, but it's chaos you can follow clearly and marvel at.

No shaky cam, barely a hint of CGI, and scenes where we actually feel like our characters are in danger (yes Furious 7 I'm calling you out). I'm happy to report these action sequences are damn near flawless. These are of course just bonuses in enhancing the primary reason people will love this film, the action itself. The world of Mad Max looks absolutely gorgeous, combining awe-inspiring practical effects and landscapes with bold colours brimming from all edges of the frame. Using this simple plot as the setting, we are able to bear witness to one of the most beautifully shot films in years. He teams up with Charlize Theron's Imperator Furiosa to save the last 5 hot women in the world from the leader of a powerful cult with a terrifying breathing mask inspired by the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Max is a man of few words, but Tom Hardy's talent for portraying strong, silent characters shines through in a gruff but sympathetic performance. George Miller single handedly delivers our saving grace with Fury Road on the back of a spike covered oil rig with a blind zombie playing a fire breathing electric guitar. For the past decade or so, with exceptions such as John Wick, The Bourne Trilogy, and The Raid, action movies seem to be struggling to capture the excitement and enjoyment the genre once held a tenacity that classics from the 80's and 90's had in spades. Charlize Theron being the real the star of the film, with the titular character really only acting as her support.Mad Max: Fury Road, starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, is George Miller's attempt to reignite his long dormant Mad Max franchise.and my god does he ever. The movie also features some surprisingly good performances. You want to believe the fiction because of the quality of the production. This is only really possible because the action, filmography, set choices and music are so brilliant you cannot help but believe the insanity that plays out before you. The movie keeps a relentless action pace that makes all of the absurdity seem so completely ordinary, which might be the real magic of this movie. Miller created a fantasy world where men playing flame throwing guitars and leaping through high speed chases on pull-vaults seems like a typical milk run. What is perhaps the most enthralling part of the film is the absolutely absurd story and world building. The action sequences are mesmerizing and the work of a true master craftsman in action. The film is a gripping full adrenaline race across the desert of a post-apocalyptic future. George Miller elevates action and violence to a true art form in this remake of a classic.
