Title: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)Cast: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult
Rating: 8/10 (4/5)
Great movie! Visually, it's exceptional and well worth the 3D admission price. Its score is impeccable and it perfectly fits all the scenes. But what's really great are the characters of Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa.
The story is pretty straightforward: Furiosa stole Immortan Joe's wives. Everybody and their uncle is after them now. Max, whom Immortan Joe's men use as a blood donor, ends up riding with them through no fault of his own. After Max and Furiosa almost kill each other, they come to an understanding: they both need to get away from Immortan Joe so why not work together?
Max and Furiosa's relationship reminded me of Eric and Snow's in SWatH: Furiosa is the one making decisions, she's the leader, Max is there to support her - very reluctantly at first. By the end of the movie, they will have known each other for 3 or 4 days at the most, yet you feel that if they ever got together, their love story would be the stuff of legends.
Loved the movie. I'm definitely getting it on DVD!
