Mad Max: Fury Road


Mad Max: Fury Road
Directed By: George Miller




The Story
What story? Is there a story?..... Who cares. Mad Max is one crazy, insane, fun fueled ride that never lets you catch your breath. What the movie lacks in plot it makes up for with some of the best action ive ever seen on the big screen. Its exciting from the moment the movie starts till the moment the movie it finishes.

The Cast
Tom Hardy is one of the best actors around at the moment, and as much as i loved him in this movie as Max it was Charlize Theron that completly stole the show. Both where great, but Charlize Theron (Furiosa) was just badass. Everything from her look, to her attitude was just spot on.



Movie Trivia:Over 80% of the effects seen in the film are real practical effects, stunts, make-up and sets. CGI was used sparingly mainly to enhance the Namibian landscape, remove stunt rigging and for Charlize Theron's left hand which in the film is a prosthetic arm.

The jacket worn by Tom Hardy is a replica of the one worn by Mel Gibson in the second two movies of the original trilogy. The Gibson jacket was found in storage at Kennedy-Miller and copied heavily.

According to George Miller the film's storyboard was made even before the screenplay. The reason behind that was because Miller envisioned the film as a continuous chase, with little dialogue and focusing on the visuals. The storyboard was made with the collaboration of five artists and had about 3,500 panels.
Movie Highlight
Mad Max was easily my favourite movie of 2015. I would even go as far as to say its my favourite movie of the last 10 years, so for me Mad Max as a whole was just a highlight. Non stop edge of your seat action was a highlight, the cast where a highlight, the whole look and feel of the movie was a highlight, Mad Max Fury Road was one big highlight.



Verdict
Overall flawless. Seriously, this movie was just fantastic and i can't wait for a sequel. If you havn't yet seen this movie then you really really should.
