Synopsis

An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the afte ...  { more

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. It's brutal and relentless, and delivers a surefire adrenalin rush.

This ridiculously glorious rebooting of the Mad Max films of late ’70s and early ’80s by the director is a celebration of a world gone feral, and women gone sublime. And that’s not all women do here, even when dressed in wisps of delicate white. They command troops, drive war rigs, ride motorcycles ...  { more

Every single shot in the film shows power of his brute imagination, those cinematic touches founded in layers of imagery and high-octane action. Grim yet exhilarating, it may be one of the more powerful movies this year. Yeah, it is that kind of a film.

Even as the characters in Fury Road fight to seek redemption, or to sustain a fragile measure of hope, they give you a thrilling ride — quite possibly the best ride at the movies for a long time to come.

The cinematography puts you in front and centre, almost feeling every crazy twist and turn in a chase as characters scramble and fight over, under, above and in front of flat-out weirdly pimped out vehicles. Some scenes are just flat-out bizarre. However, the attention to detail is fantastic. On th ...  { more

The few tiny flaws aside, there's much to love about this film. Get on this crazy drive, but hang on for dear life. It's gonna be a wild ride!

...with Mad Max: Fury Road, George Miller strikes back and how. There is action and more action and so much of it that it takes time to digest and admire what you have just seen when you walk out of the theatre. Basically it is a chase involving huge armored vehicles and no this is nothing remotely ...  { more

'Mad Max: Fury Road' is a rare action movie in today's times in that that it looks and feels like the product of a fully realised vision. It possesses the vital ingredient missing in most CGI-laden summer blockbusters: a sense of clockwork synchronicity between its various departments. The cinemato ...  { more

It's been a while since a movie maintained a huge grin on my face from start to end, and I suspect you'll experience something similar. This is the movie that ushers in the next generation of movies, the movie that creates a whole new legion of geeks, the movie that will be embalmed in pop culture  ...  { more

With Mad Max: Fury Road, Miller shows that if done right, even the most crassly commercial of genres can be powerful, idealistic and cinematic. Action can be nuanced without losing its fun elements. Sure, it might take 30 years to come together, but by George, Miller's done it.

Any doubts you might've had about the return of the Mad Max franchise after 30 years are put to rest within the first few minutes itself. Thereon, Fury Road makes for a thrillingly nightmarish ride through the dust, and easily the best one in the series.

...a dazzling continuation of the man who is yet angry after three decades.

At 70, Miller has directed the most spectacular action movie of the last few years. Mad Max: Fury Road is unabashed, visceral, poetic. One need only compare its pounding action scenes to the staid, formulaic combat in the recent Avengers sequel to see how a skilled director can bring grandeur and i ...  { more

A visceral reboot of a franchise that tries to rise above the fun and frivolity of a summer blockbuster and largely succeeds.

...thank the Gods of Cinema that George Miller, who directed all three earlier Mad Max films, never gave up on his signature project! For what we have here is an enormously entertaining film that passes on the baton of the classic ‘road warrior’ saga to a new generation of cinemagoers.

    Mad Max: Fury Road is a technical achievement and in league of movies like life of pi, gravity, avatar for its technicality and the world created by mastermind'George Miller' is totally believable.Cinematography is perfect. It will surely be nominated for several oscars next year.This is one of the best action movies in years even beat out Avengers and Avengers 2. This is the movie where madness is at its peak. Background score is great too.

    Look no further. There r lights. There r cameras. All it requires is action. And there is plenty of action when it comes to Mad Max series. Summer is always hot and sweaty. This movie will make u hot and work on your sweat glands like there is no tomorrow. The steam has build up for the summer holidays. You don't need to go to a hill station to escape the heat and dust. Just head towards any cinema hall playing Mad Max. U r bound to be in action mood. And action it is.

    Mad Max: Fury Road is an Australian post-apocalyptic action film, and the fourth film of Mad Max franchise. Mad Max series has been known for Mel Gibson (59) in the title role. Sadly, this one has no Gibson at all. Times have moved forward. And a young, dashing and action-packed hero has taken over now.

    At one point in George Miller’s totally whacked out new film, a character proclaims: “Oh, what a day … what a lovely day!”
    If you end up watching this film as I did, chances are your day will be anything but that.
    Mad Max: Fury Road is a totally underwhelming experience, a film that promised so much but ended up flattering to deceive.
    George, who also created the Mad Max Trilogy of the 80’s with Mel Gibson in the titular role, goes for the jugular this time, delivering a film that’s high on adrenalin but short on nuance.
    Plot, you ask? Immortan Joe is a dictator who presides over his subjects with an iron hand.
    Water, guzzoline (and common sense) are in short supply.
    It falls upon a rebel, Imperator Furiosa, and Max himself to liberate the country from the clutches of Joe’s oppression.

    This is the best action movie that has ever graced the face of the earth. 2 hours of non-stop, breath-taking, adrenaline-rushing action set pieces with a very subtle feminist ideology. This mad, mad movie needs to be seen by every single person who enjoys films.
