Storyline
An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
Mad Max Movie Reviews
This movie was made for 1 reason and 1 reason only, to look really good in 3D. Take away the 3D and the big screen of the theater and you don't have a movie left, you have a bunch of action sequences and special effects. That's it. I personally can't see 3D and I saw this movie on cable. The amount of stuff flying at you in this movie really took me out of the viewing experience. Seriously, everything was just coming at you (not in 3D, just on the screen), to the point where I kept saying to myself "This sequence was shot just to be shown in 3D, there is no other point." There is almost no plot or character development at all. It's all action, not substance. After a while it's like eating too much sugar, you just get sick of it. I was bored and annoyed the whole time. If I saw it in 3D and in the theater, I may have loved it, but honestly the true test of an actual movie is if you take those away, does it hold up, and sadly, I can say, this does not.
