What a film. I love the idea of giving not a ton of context to something as grandiose as this story. It throws the viewer directly into the thick of it. Here's the main character, here's the setting, here's the path they're on, go!
I loved the visuals in this movie, and as I know they received many awards I can now understand why. Everything from the vehicles and the costumes to the explosions and destruction were captivating the moment you lay eyes on them.
The sound design was so immersive. The score was placed tastefully and taken away at the right moments to give emotional emphasis on certain scenes. The use of the guitar rig was also ingenious and worked seamlessly with the music of the film. Weaponry and fight noises were perfect.
Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron were the perfect choices for the roles of Max and Furiosa. Somehow, even though the characters only spend about a day and a half worth of time together, they manage to go from strangers holding guns to each other's heads, to fellow rebels who care for one another and the common goal of saving innocent lives and overturning a vicious dictatorship.
I want so much for there to be a sequel. And yes, I know Furiosa is now in theatres, but I want a proper sequel to this film, as much as a prequel also is very enticing.
This movie was so much better than I expected it to be and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched yet that is a fan of sci-fi, action, or post-apocalyptic media. 9/10.
