FILM: Mad Max Fury Road IMAX 3D (dir: George Miller, 2015)

"What a lovely day!"

Mad Max: Fury Road is an extraordinary action movie.  Essentially a relentless chase movie, it is gloriously, rivetingly insane, a true retooling of The Road Warrior for the 21st Century.   There are many moments which are simply so jawdroppingly incredible that make the film so immensely entertaining and pleasurable for the action fan, enhanced by the fact that so much of it is clearly physically realised.  Hardy, Theron and Hoult are absolutely spot-on with their performances and investment in the action.  Sound and effects are superb, and in IMAX 3D the experience is quite overwhelming.  The story is clear and purposeful, and Miller's brilliant staging is epic, from the gorgeous vast desertscapes to the Metropolis-scale workings of The Citadel.  Mad Max: Fury Road is a truly satisfying action movie in every sense and an absolute delirious blast to watch.
