This is a movie that will stick with me forever. From the moment it begins, this is a 2 hour action thrillride. It is brutal, it is fast, it is epic. The story is great, following Furiosa, an imperator of the Citadel, a stronghold run by Immortan Joe a beastly and gruesome being that controls the people of the Citadel because he controls the massive water supply and keeps most of it for himself. Furiosa is on a mission to collect more gasaline when she suddenly goes off course. Immorton Joe soon figures out that Furiosa has taken the breeders of the Cidatel, his five wives to get away from that horrible place. He sends all of the persuit vehicles he has to go after Furiosa's rig and reclaim his property. Max has been captured and is being used as a blood bag for one of the war boys driving a persuit vehicle named Nux and from there comes the greatest action in a movie my eyes have ever seen. Everything about the way the action is directed, is perfect. It's intense, it's fast, it's destructive, it's furious! From the first shot of the movie, the first shot in the entire movie, I knew I was in for something. The title for this movie is perfect and everytime I think about the title card it is always preceeded by the shot of Max being dragged into a hole in the side of a mountain. It is so iconic and recognizable and the music as well. Oh, my god, the score for this film is perfect! I find myself humming it all the time and it's not just that the music is good and it fits the movie. The music in this film is used in such creative ways. Sometimes it's like the music is actually playing in the scene. There's a music rig (called the Doof Wagon apparently) and it is actually playing the music that you're hearing. The drummers beat furiously on these massive taiko drums and the Doof Warrior is hooked onto these big bunjee cords as he plays an enormous guitar. Oh, and he also shoots flames out the neck of the guitar. Yeah, he-he does that too. And sometimes, when Furiosa has to stop her rig to make repairs or so that the engines can cool down, the camera will pan or a character will look over and the evil sound of the guitar looms in the distance. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and keeps you dreading our heroes being captured by Immorton Joe even when you're not in the middle of an intense chase sequence. There's a scene in this movie involving a massive storm and I just could not believe my eyes. There are a few moments in this movie where I couldn't believe my eyes and just laughed and clapped in a moment of "Wholy crap, I can't believe that just happened". For example: A war boy jumping off the back of a huge rig, with two explosive staffs in his hands, landing on the hood of a car behind the rig blowing it up along with himself-cut back to the top of the rig and his fellow war boys are criss-crossing their fingers and praying, saying that he will be born again in Valhalla, a place where war boys serving Immorton Joe in battle supposedly go after dying. A vehicle lifting up off the ground and getting torn apart in mid air by an enourmous gust of sand and wind, a buzzard spiked car flipping up backwards and the shot going into slow motion so we see at the top of the vehicle is a guy just flipping around in mid-air. A war boy getting flung off the back of a vehicle and smashing into the front of Nux's car as Max looks back in horror, a crew of rock riders flying up off of the dunes over the rig in an intricate pattern throwing bombs at the rig as it is ingulfed in fire. Polecats swinging back and forth on long poles based on moving vehicles carrying chainsaws and explosives and snatching people up and throwing themselves onto other moving vehicles. The action in this movie blew my face right off of my face and still don't know how some of these shots were accomplished. I love how insane and rough this movie is but this movie isn't only about the action. It gets really emotionally powerful especially when it comes to Charlize Theron's character of Furiosa and her mission to lead the five wives to a place she remembers from her childhood as the Green Place. And there are few moments that really reflect how mad the world has become. Like a war boy announcing to the armada of persuit vehicles that he had a baby brother "and he was perfect, perfect in every way" after a mechanic removes an unborn baby from a dead woman and says he would have been perfect if the mother had stayed alive just another couple of days or so. And I love a scene in which Max refuses to let Furiosa and the five wives in the war rig because the armada is coming, but only expresses intrest when Furiosa asks him about his muzzle. "You want that thing off your face!" This is a movie that is required viewing for any fan of good action filmaking. You owe it to yourself to check out Mad Max: Fury Road.
