A big giant high speed chase with a tale of redemption thrown in
George Miller had not done a Mad Max movie since 1985. Since then he’d mostly been doing mainstream family and children’s movies. That meant there were big questions of whether he could deliver on this franchise which he’d mad so famous. He did with Fury Road.<br /><br />It starred Tom Hardy as Max, made famous by Mel Gibson, and Charlize Theron as Furiosa. The connection to the old movies is made from the start as Max does a voice over and flashback to his killed family, has the same muscle car as in the original Max movies, and is chased down by a gang based upon the one from Mad Max 2.<br /><br />As usual there’s a postapocalyptic setting and story. This time there’s a society run by a deformed and dying tyrant named Joe who wears makeup and a body suit that looks like a skeleton. He controls the supply of water which keep his people under control. He has an army that acts like a cult called the War Boys. He has a harem that he hopes will birth him a normal child as most are deformed.<br /><br />It’s quite a feat that Miller was able to create an engaging story with this film as the vast majority of it takes place on the road as Furiosa and Max attempt to escape Joe and his War Boys out in the wilderness. Being confined to vehicles doesn’t usually create good dialogue, although its fine for action. Miller was able to carry the story despite this huge limitation. Furiosa was trying to save the harem women from a life of sex slaves to take them to another world where they would be free and protected by other women. She wanted to find redemption in saving them. The women were also stronger and more resourceful than one might initially believe.<br /><br />On the action front Miller created a huge array of vehicles all decked out. There are ones that look like porcupines. Others that are huge trucks with truck cabs on top of them. One has a huge array of speakers and guitarist playing war tunes on it. These are the vehicles of war that are constantly battling each other.<br /><br />Miller also employs some fantastic cinematography and special effects to create the sweeping plains upon which all these vehicles are fighting each other. For instance, all the vehicles drive into a huge storm with tornados and lightning inside of it which provides some pretty incredible visuals. He also uses strong colors to highlight the characters and action. For instance, the sky is usually grey or clear blue during the day to highlight the people against a blank background. Later the sky turns a beautiful blue reflected on the main characters at night, and then a darker grey-blue as Joe and his friends show up.<br /><br />Overall, this was a great piece of action and a story of redemption.<br />C
