Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) review

Movie poster featuring Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky

Ah, what a lovely day! This review is going to be pretty much like every other review, gloating over the masterpiece that George Miller has given us, Now, I haven't seen the first, Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome but if any of them can top this, George Miller should be up there with the directing Gods. I won't give a lot away because you need you need to get to a theater ASAP and see this movie before it rolls out. Unless you have a home theater system (which I still don't think can do the movie justice) you need to see it in theaters. The story centers around Max (Tom Hardy) who is haunted by his past. He is also constantly haunted by the scavenger warboys until he is captured and used as a blood bank for an injured Warboy named Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Meanwhile their tribe, who worship the V8 steering wheels are in war with the other tribes for oil. The overlord Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) sends the warboys and Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to go to Gas Town and bring back oil. But midway Furiosa commands her squad to take a detour east, Immortan Joe finds out that she is helping his wives escape so their children won't be warlords.Furious, he sends his warboys on the fury road to capture the Imperator and the War Rig that contains the wives. At the same even though injured Nux wants to join the chase and straps his blood bank Max to the pole in front of his car and him and his assistant driver Slit (Josh Helman) join the pursuit!

Nathan Jones as Rictus Erectus and Immortan Joe

I don't want to say how this movie was flawless in specifics but I'll give my general opinion. The practicality of this movie just adds to the beauty that is created by the lush visuals and amazing colorfulness of this movie. Post-apocalyptic movies are usually pretty dark colored and depressing while Mad Max's Wasteland is a visually pleasing atmosphere. Also I read on IMDB that %80 of this movie's effects were practical which is just mind-boggling. This movie isn't an A+ it's just above that.
