Mad Max: Fury Road (2021)

I remember first watching this movie on the big screen in IMAX 3D. My eyes and my head were really hurt on that day but it was worth it. On the 13th time watching it ,this film is truly a huge masterpiece. Everyone call other movies such as Aliens or Terminator 2 as the greatest action movies including Die Hard from 1988. I defiently agree with them but Mad Max Fury Road is the greatest action movie ever made. From the first shot until the end ,this movie is just an incredibly powerful chase which never stops for a moment but it really has deep story and thought-provoking themes. Tom Hardy replaced Mel Gibson but Hardy is awesome the same as Gibson ,let's not talk about the incredible Charlize Theron. The villain made me chills and nightmares every time he was on the screen. Powerful incredible action sequences, amazingly beautiful cinematography and visual effects and of course the talented cast.

Yes, beautiful.Maybe that's not the word someone would use to describe George Millers modern masterpiece, but I will.Mad Max Fury Road shows us that all the choreographed and handcrafted action can take place in a moving rhythm. Anyone who accuses this film of being just a battle of material or a glorification of gigantomania has not understood something. In refusing a superficial story, Mad Max stands out from the other blockbusters. Fury Road is loud, very loud, but the movie doesn't numb you. The whole is an overall composition of sound, image and cut of crystalline beauty. Yes, beauty. This film is a poetic experience that is both direct and completely abstract. We are directly affected by the pictures and basses, but at the same time everything remains abstract, since we cannot identify directly with any person.Mad Max Fury Road provides us with answers to questions we have never asked. Formally speaking, we are actually similar to the characters in the film. How they wander around without any direction, but with a smile on their face? They move from point A to point B and when they are at point B, they go back to point A. This directionlessness also drives us humans through the area, but also keeps us in motion.The Greek philosopher Heraclitus was the thinker of opposites. Land and sea, day and night and so on. All opposites form a unity. The most important message is that the way back and forth is one and the same way. Doesn't this make the entire chase obsolete?George Miller uses this unity of opposites. In sound design we have both fortissimo and pianissimo interludes and nothing in between. Many post-apocalyptic films show an order into which chaos slowly enters. Fury Road now shows how an order is forming in chaos. But does it make any difference?

One of the things that stands out about this film is how Miller manager to develop the character of Max without even using words or dialog - a truly great example in storytelling of " show, don't tell". The pacing of the movie is great - it is slower paced, but yet you're never bored and it never *feels* slow. Miller does a superb job of bringing to life the world he has created.Another great thing I love about this film is that Miller doesn't go crazy with CGI - in a day and age when it seems nearly every movie uses way too much of it - this movie feels very organic and it looks amazing because of it. This movie will hold up for a very long time. I can't wait for a sequel to come out! (hopefully one does!)

Plot - Normally I'd explain what I thought of the plot in my review, but this movie doesn't really have much of a plot. I mean, there kind of is one, but its not developed and it isn't very coherent. Action - The action is really good, but it goes on for a bit too long. If there were characters in this movie, I'd probably care more about the action.Visuals - This movie looks kinda fake with all the bright colors. Doesn't stop it from being cinematic. The fight scenes are really good, and the overall look of this movie is great. There is a lot of sped-up footage though. Sounds - The soundtrack was good at first, but then they keep reusing the same scores and it got boring. Overall, this movie is way too long and not enough of that time is spent on the plot, making it kinda dumb. A movie needs more than good action and the appearance of being cinematic.
