The special effects are top notch. They really did an incredible job with the visuals. The story, dialogue, and close-calls were way cheesier than it had to be. This wasn't camp but they certainly didn't mind being ridiculous. The death toll in this movie is absolutely insane. It feels almost immoral watching this many people die as entertainment.
Does this movie live up to the trailers and the hype? Yes, yes it does.
A 2-hour roadtrip through the insanity of Mad Max brings ever increasing returns as the creativity and chaos continues to grow as the movie progresses. There's no end to the little world-building touches that background the ferocious vitality of the action. Practical effects that make everything look "real" and a light-touch on exposition means that nothing is clunkily spelled out for you, like most mediocre action movies do. The action is non-stop, exhilarating, and a whole lot of fun. George Miller created a world that you absolutely don't want to live in, but absolutely do want to watch.
We dedicated the show to it, spoiler free, and you can listen to it here. http://cinereelists.com/wp-content/uploads/shows/cinereelists_124.mp3
