The awkward moment when you make a bullshit sexist meme about “fake geek girls”, but aren’t quite geek enough yourself to know that Spock did hold the rank of Captain from Star Trek II to VI, making the “fake geek girl” in this scenario 8,000 per cent more legit geek than you.

Mad Max: Fury Road review
Director: George Miller
Cast: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Zoe Kravitz
Rating: PARADISO *that means it goes beyond the four star rating and one of my favorite movies now*
George Miller hasn’t made a ton of movies over the years. He directed things like Happy Feet, Babe, and Lorenzo’s Oil. But Mad Max is where he started his career. I actually think the Mad Max series got better with each movie. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior was better than Mad Max, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was better than Road Warrior. And following that pattern, Mad Max: Fury Road is, very far and far away, the best film of the series and possibly one of the best action movies of all time.
Tom Hardy takes the place of Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky, a taciturn drifter living in a post-apocalyptic Australian dystopia controlled by a disfigured leader named Immortan Joe (Keays-Byrne). Joe has access to water and keeps it stored only for himself and his army. The War Boys, an army led by Joe, kidnap Max in order to be the forced blood donor for a sick fellow War Boy, Nux (Hoult). Furiosa (Theron) is assigned to drive her War Rig to collect gasoline but she has an agenda of her own: she starts to head in a different direction and has the Five Wives, Joe’s specific breeding women, stowed away secretly in her rig. Joe realizes he has been betrayed so he calls his army and other allies around to go after them. Nux decides to go as well, strapping Max at the front of his vehicle. An on-road battle ensues between the army and Furiosa, which results in Furiosa escaping and also Max and Nux stranded and chained together. They meet up with Furiosa and the Five Wives and Max attempts to steal their rig, but Furiosa installed a kill switch in it so it will not go anywhere unless she is on the rig. So, Max, Furiosa, and the Wives decide to ride together and escape the army while they head for a place that Furiosa recalled from her youth called the Green Place. All the while, Nux questions his allegiance to his leader and the army is chasing them down in this vast, mutilated wasteland.
Let me just say that you really do not need to watch the previous Mad Max movies to understand this one at all. In fact, each Mad Max movie stands on its own pretty easily; each one establishes a different world, a different feel, a different taste. It’s like each film takes place in a different world but still has the same constant spirit to it. The same goes for this one: It feels entirely different with a different take on the world of Mad Max but it still has the energy and integrity of the previous films. I never thought I would love an action movie that is basically all nonstop action throughout with very little dialogue. But director George Miller uses action in a very poetic way. He uses action as an art form. He uses action to tell his story and it works perfectly in this hyper-realistic, heavy metal portrait of a rundown world. Using almost exclusively practical stunts instead of CGI is nothing short of amazing and really makes it feel realistic and convinces us that this is another world. The movie is so well detailed and the characters are so well established and stylized. The weird thing is the movie doesn’t really focus on character development and the script doesn’t really call for it but it organically happens throughout the movie, especially for Hoult’s character, Nux, and Charlize Theron’s Furiosa. Reportedly, Tom Hardy only has twenty lines in the film but I didn’t see any reason for him to talk more than he did. At some points he sounded like he was channeling his Bane character from Batman but it doesn’t matter. Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played the villain, Toecutter, in the first film and now he plays a different character in this one (or maybe a spiritual successor to Toecutter? Who knows). But I cannot recommend this film enough. The movie is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The film is beautifully shot and the characters are disgusting and deformed and just exciting. The actions scenes are unbelievably immaculate and perfectly choreographed and for me to say that the action is essential to the film, because I’m such a dialogue person, means that this movie is something else. It is an action movie that should be awarded recognition, if not now than in the future when it is venerated as one the absolute best action movies ever made.
