Not only is it a great movie but it should be the standard for every action movie to come

Miller orchestrates a breath-taking spectacle of high-octane, exhilarating and gut-wrenching action

There is rarely a moment when Miller does not have the audience at the edge of their seats

The set-pieces are fantastic and marvellously choreographed while the film’s reliance on practice-effects rather than CGI gives it a unique and gritty feel unlike anything else

 A ferocious warrior one minute and a thoughtful protector the next, Furiousa really is the beating heart of this film and an all-out intriguing and exciting character brought to life by Theron’s terrific performance

Junkie XL’s searing soundtrack serves as the perfect companion to the film’s invigorating action, the bombastic score is always boiling at the surface, ready to explode at a moment’s notice

The storytelling, on the other hand, has a language of its own and relies on the film’s set-pieces to serve as the vehicle for plot development and character beats rather than dialogue

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="592"] Photo: IMDb[/caption] All in all, Mad Max: Fury Road is the summer blockbuster we deserve

Miller crafts a film that stands out as a modern-day classic and undoubtedly sets the benchmark for every action film to follow

You are unlikely to see a more thrilling movie anytime soon

In addition, the film has a surprising bit of heart as well, which is uncommon as most action movies do not invoke real emotions

It is beautiful, chaotic and complex in its own way

I would rate it a 9

8 out of 10
