One hell of a movie, and if you can relate to hell, this movie is for you :)



You may look forward to:

  • Major credit goes to George Miller to have created an amazing master piece, a cult of its own. This movie cannot go neutral on you, it will either blow your mind away or will make you sick. But if you dare to watch, there is less chance that you can come out of theater feeling sane :) George Miller has that effect on you :)
  • Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are the main leads, and they work in tandem, shoulder to shoulder. Most of the action scenes are delivered by them and they do a great job keeping you at the edge till the end of the movie
  • I personally loved Nicholas Hoult, a sympathetic character, who wants to get to 'Valhalla'. The only character who highlights and represents the condition of all others working for their lord. Nothing heroic about him but yet a hero
  • Hugh Keays-Byrne is mostly seen behind the mask,  nevertheless he clearly represents the face of the terror
  • The entire band of women viz. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Zoë Kravitz, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee and Courtney Eaton do a good job, mostly who have no meaty role but are just there throughout the movie as the story revolves around their survival
  • Nathan Jones, boy Oh! boy...a tough competition to Tom Hardy. Some good action scenes between the two 
  • Melissa Jaffer is worth a mention for her age and for the mettle required to not only understand a character like this but play it as well
  • The USP of the movie stands to be in its madness personified. Its marvelous action scenes, the larger than life sandy cinematography, only in dust and desert are very catchy. This movie is a treat to the eyes, and there is nothing beautiful about it, just raw action and outstanding make up given to all the characters. Of all the movie that have come depicting the end of world, this film certainly has occupied a niche position for itself



What you can sleep over:

This one movie is at its extreme, you will either love it or hate it, you surely can't simply sleep over any aspect of this flick :)




The dampeners you should be aware of: 

  • The portion in the second half when after a hiatus, the group plans to return back to 'Citadel'. And all the madness all over again, started looking a little monotonous. You had already watch past enough of this action, now you will expect something different, and the repeated action scenes after a point starts getting on your nerves
  • This movie isn't gory, but it is yet not meant for mass audience. Not everybody would appreciate it



My Rating: 3.5/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
