After watching a film like Mad Max : Fury Road it might be worth reading through Revelation. In all that they desire to achieve and find through this film maker's journey, the finality has an empty satisfaction. If the film does have a weakness, it would be in the conclusion. Miller manages to capture this element and allows for the story to consider the realities of mankind's history and future. This is an essential cinematic vehicle when placed against the backdrop of the depravity of mankind. Even the jaded heart of Max is turned and assists in getting those under his charge to their promised land and in giving them hope in the bleakest of moments. Also, the flower on this desert wasteland is hope. This story shows that there is basic need for something beyond our material needs that gives society drive and direction. His character delivers a dark and demented message of the need for effective leadership and that leaders need to provide people with purpose for their sacrifice, even if it is misplaced. Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) is the cult leader in this dark, twisted world. In adding a spiritual component to Mad Max: Fury Road he allows for a narrative depth in the script. On many levels, Miller seems to realise that action without reason loses its purpose. Both Hardy and Theron are supported by an excellent supporting cast that moves this experience from a mere adrenaline rush to a story of fighting for your right to live, seeing that sacrifice is part of freedom and ultimately for the hope for redemption. In masking her natural beauty, Theron is allowed to develop her strengths and vulnerabilities without making a political statement. In a genre that tends to victimise or sexualise the female leads, Miller portrays a strong female led without any unnecessary feminist underpinnings. She has strength, purpose and a sacrificial depth that presses the story beyond a mindless chase scene. She manages to redefine feminine heroism for film makers.

Charlie Theron's shining portrayal of Furiosa is the literal and figurative driver of the film. Interestingly, Hardy is not the primary lead in the film that bears his name.
He is given minimal dialogue, but is able to become the heart of this post-apocalyptic tale. Not to dismiss the acting, Hardy is brilliant as the tortured lead character and delivering a believable portrait of his desire to survive the present while mentally enduring his past.
Who would have thought that through the Mad Max franchise Miller would be able to convey his cinematic brilliance and deliver this visceral masterpiece. This world seems to be a maniacal and messy existence, but becomes an enjoyable, orchestrated primal experience. The cast is captivating and effective in their roles, but they have to take a back seat to the energetic stunt work and effects. It is not necessary to see the original films to enjoy this chapter in Max's adventures, but it might be worth going back to watch the first two films in this anthology. Even as the fourth outing for this character, we are given a fresh storyline and wealth of new characters for a new generation. George Miller delivers a masters class in story telling and stunt driven effects that successfully convey back story, cultural nuance and the justification of these desperate acts of disobedience and violence. Mad Max: Fury Road is a lesson in conveying depth with minimal dialogue. No summary can do the action justice, except to say to is a new visual standard that needs to be experienced. Shot in the barren desert of Namibia, the fight for life becomes an adrenaline charged chess match that in making the wrong move will cost you your life. Mad Max: Fury Road becomes a race for life, redemption and hope. Max becomes the pivotal force to assist in Furiosa's escape and redemption. After being captured by the leading cult forces of this futuristic wasteland, he finds himself in the middle of a pursuit of Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and the wives of the masked Immortan Joe (Hugh Keyes-Byrne). As a former police officer and family man, he is now a tortured shell of the man of justice he used to be and merely wants to survive.
Max lives an existence of sheer survival. This is a welcome return to Max and the crazy, post-apocalyptic world of George Miller (Mad Max, Babe). Overall Rating: 4.5 stars Cinematic value: 4.5 stars Big questions value: 4 stars Family value: 2 stars (This film has a mature rating due to the violence, take this into consideration before viewing) We have not seen Max Rockastansky (Tom Hardy) on movie screens in 30 years.
