Director George Miller has returned to the character that made him famous 36 years ago. The landscape is bleaker and the action is more pumped. Tom Hardy & Charlize Theron play rebels who are trying to escape the evil overlords, or at least outrun them, but forget story and dialogue: This is all about spectacular stunts, incredible art direction and furious action. The relentless pace and virtually non-stop clashes are sometimes so hectic that it’s hard to figure out what’s happening. The thick accents and noisy sound sometime make the dialogue a challenge, but it doesn’t really matter. The massive soundtrack by Junkie XL adds another level of intensity. This film is inventive in the extreme and dizzying in it’s bravura direction.
