MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
I went in with some concern, highway chase scenes having been done to death.
Wow! I was fully engaged, enveloped, from start to finish.
It's almost entirely pedal-to-the-metal, yet it surpasses the earlier installments for developing It's fantasy epic saga. I'm a fan of RW and MM:BTD, but this easily takes first place.
The entire cast was perfect, FX and stunts were fantastic, camera-work was beautiful.
This film is a bit like the terribly underappreciated DREDD, in that it is more the story arc of the female lead. Max has an arc and plenty of screentime as well, but he also provides our POV to the larger story.
I do hope this does well enough to carry on the saga.
