I want to write about it, but this movie made me feel like a child who just saw something amazing and, in trying to get something coherent out, winds up babbling about six ideas at once, and after a weekend of trying to get something better down on a page, here’s my best shot: I mean I really want to write a review about this movie, and there’s plenty better reviews that drive the point home and reviews that really examine the depth of the imagery, and I really don’t need to add one more to try to convince people to go because nearly every review is positive. Inside of a giant action blockbuster of flame throwers, bullets, and gallons of gasoline is a poignant tale of humanity, redemption, and hope. I saw it on Friday night with a handful of friends from the annual Wasteland Weekend festival ( I made the official highlight reel for 2014.) and we were all utterly and completely blown away. Comparative to its budget and critical reception, the money it made in its opening weekend given it’s hype and rabid fanbase was dismal, at best. Guys, go see Mad Max: Fury Road as soon as you possibly can, and then see it a second time This cannot afford to be another great action movie with an incredible story that lacks producer confidence because its box office numbers were too low.
