Caught Mad Max last night... definitely the best one and visually it's one of the best I've seen. I can see it winning multiple Oscars for costume design, cinematography, sound editing, directing, editing, makeup, production design, score, screenplay. It is that strong on all levels.
Honestly Max/Tom Hardy doesn't talk a whole hell of a lot and I think Charlize Theron/Furiosa takes center stage.
The movie is nihilistic, creepy, loud and fast-paced and the story is pretty straight forward with a satisfying climax. I saw it in RealD 3D and that added quite a bit to the experience as I'm not a fan of 3D in general. There is so much thrown at the screen though that its almost a requirement to watch it in that format.
Definitely catch it in theaters as some of the scale of the battles would be diminished in a smaller format.
4.5/5
