So yesterday I fiNALLY went to the cinema to watch Mad Max: Fury Road, which I was looking forward to for so long because every single person who's watched it said that it was incredible, amazing, etc., etc. Do I agree with them, or did I think the movie was a load of shite? Read on to find out...
The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where the dry, hot desert is home to thousands of people, thirsty and desperate, given up on hope of a better life. Who would control their water supply but their nasty leader, Immortan Joe, who, besides looking like a Halloween costume gone wrong, is self-absorbed and pretty possessive over his numerous wives. Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron, smuggles his five wives away on a mission to get to 'The Green Place', where they envision nature, greenery, and freedom. Once Immortan Joe discovers his missing wives, him, along with hundreds of his evil cronies, set out on their crazy awesome cars, bikes, and monster trucks, to hunt Furiosa down and bring his wives back. Mad Max (Tom Hardy a.k.a. bae) somehow gets involved in the process and helps Furiosa and the others escape from the evil clutches of Immortan Joe, along with Nux (Nicholas Hoult, also bae), one of Joe's ex-henchmen-turned-good, in hopes of them leading a better life away from the toxic wasteland they've been calling home.
First off, I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The action and special effects are incredible, I couldn't get enough. I was literally so hyped up when watching this, my heart was racing. The desert setting was desolate and beautiful, perfect as a background to this story (that one part with the dust storm was breathtaking). The accompanying music was really cool, it goes perfectly with whatever was happening onscreen at the time, especially during the more high-octane action parts (also, the fucking guitar maestro strapped up to his wall of speakers and non-stop playing metal riffs that would've blown your brains out of your skull if you were there in front of him? Need I say more?)
Besides the fact that both Tom Hardy and Nicholas Hoult were in this (infinite heart eyes), the star of the show was, for sure, Charlize Theron as Furiosa. Like seriously, she pulled off her character amazingly well. She was brave, strong, intelligent, and bad-fucking-ass. Tbh Max felt more of like a supporting character, and Furiosa was basically running the show here. The wives, too, were awesome in their respective roles, not to mention freaking stuNNING. Seriously, they were all so pretty I could die.
I can't recall watching this good of an action movie in recent memory, so if you're into action/adventure/fire/explosions/etc, I would definitely recommend checking this one out. I'd give this one a 9/10. LOVED IT
Until the next one,
Alani
