Mad Max Fury Road Film Review

Finished watching Mad Max Fury Road Directed by George Miller and staring Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult, Huge Keays-Byrne, Charlize Theron, and Riley Keough. The film opens up with Max (Tom Hardy) in a car chase as he gets caught and taken to the home of the War Boys where Max is tortured and becomes the "Blood Bag" for War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Meanwhile the War Boys leader Immortan Joe (Huge Keays-Byrne) gives orders to Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to get some gasoline from the nearby town. When Furiosa goes of route Immortal Joe discovers that his prize wife's have stowed away on the truck with all the War Boys chasing after her with Nux having Max tided to the front of his car in order to still drain Max's blood. Being separated from the War Boys in a deadly sandstorm Max fails to unchain himself from Nux leading him to meet with Furiosa were they both decide to settle their differences in order to get to the "Green Place" where they will be safe from Immortan Joe and his War Boys. As the group travel to the "Green Place" they are constantly bombarded by Immortan Joe's forces including Nux who went back to Joe after being left for dead with him joining the group in their crusade after being confident by Capable (Riley Keough) after feeling embarrassed and disappointed after messing up in front of Immortan Joe. Overall this was a flawless film the character of Furiosa works well alongside Max as they both have similar characteristics which makes leads to them both having the greatest amount of respect for each other in the end. The soundtrack is used very creatively during the road battles as there is a blind guitarist on one vehicle with four drummers on the back who keep the tempo of the music as it changes depending on what is happening on the screen at any given time. Also the road battles are choreographed essentially well as the danger felt real and the stakes were so high that there are even parts where a miss step could spell the end for Max himself. 10/10
