Mad Max: Fury Road packed with non-stop action

– Mad Max makes a stunning return after a 30 year absence.

Mad Max: Fury Road tells the story of Imperator Furiosa’s plan to rebel against Immortan Joe, and Max Rockatansky’s accidental involvement. Set in the desert wasteland of the (not so) distant future, water and gasoline are hard to come by in this world crafted by George Miller.

Fury Road is the fourth film in the Mad Max franchise after Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), meaning it’s the first to be released in 30 years. After years and years of development, dating all the way back to 1998, George Miller was finally able to grace the big screen while pleasing viewers and fans alike.

With a runtime of exactly two hours, Fury Road never fails to keep you immersed within the action and the world it’s portraying. From the very start of the film, the viewer is placed into the apocalyptic future known as The Wasteland, and from then on the interest level doesn’t die down. If you’re looking for a movie with nonstop action, then look no further than Fury Road.

With 90% of the effects in the film being practical, it’s no wonder why audiences and critics seem to love the simple yet effective stunts from Fury Road. From exploding vehicles to colorful flares in the sunny blue sky, George Miller uses his visuals to invigorate viewers and keep them aligned to everything going on in the film. I never once felt lost or confused as to what was happening during my experience with Fury Road.

In the end, Mad Max: Fury Road is a visually brilliant, beautifully crafted masterpiece and will be remembered as one of the greatest action films of the past decade, if not of all-time.
