Charlize Theron is always awesome but she is particularly badass in this one. Tom Hardy is the ideal person to fill the shoes of Mel Gibson, he is manly but has a sensitive side, rugged with soulful eyes.

The trailer is epic and sprawling with so many things going on in just the finite amount of time. It may have been a few years since the original Mad Max films but I do not recall those being this bizarre.

Mad Max: Fury Road looks absolutely insane. The film won six Oscars, and was nominated for four more including best picture but lost out to Spotlight. The only times CGI was used was when it was absolutely necessary like removing Charlize Theron’s arm.Įven though Mad Max is not typically the kind of film that cleans up at the Academy Awards, it certainly did. The director wanted to use as many practical effects, stunts, make-up, and sets, as possible to give it a grittier realistic look. George Miller is responsible for writing and directing not only the first and most recent films but also Mad Max 2: Road Warrior (1982) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).Īlthough rare for a modern film, Mad Max: Fury Road uses CGI sparingly. Mad Max: Fury Road was released 36 years after the original Max Max (1979). Also featured in the movie are Josh Helman as Slit, Jennifer Hagan as Miss Giddy, and singer/songwriter/performer iOTA as Coma-Doof Warrior. Collectively known as The Wives, Zoë Kravitz plays Toast, Riley Keough is Capable, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is Splendid, and supermodel Abbey Lee is The Dag, and Courtney Eaton is Fragile. The film also stars Nicholas Hoult as Nux Hugh Keays-Byrne as Immortan Joe and Nathan Jones as Rictus Erectus. Oscar winner Charlize Theron stars as the Imperator, Furiosa. Tom Hardy stars in the title role in Mad Max: Fury Road - the fourth in the franchise’s history. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone.
