The setting of Mad Max is grotesque, absurd, and over the top. The two of them get mixed up with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), who uses a gasoline run to run off with Joe's five "breeders", young women chosen to carry his offspring. His back tattooed to indicate he is a universal donor, Max has been enslaved as a "blood bag" for the ghastly, skeletal Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Our titular hero, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), spends the first forty-five minutes of the film with a metal mask over his face chained to a car like a large human hood ornament. There is a hierarchy to this universe, whose aging ruler Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) lords over the hungry, thirsty masses. Following nuclear holocaust, mankind has grown savage, fighting to survive amidst limited natural resources. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland. While that nigh-unanimous praise might have set my expectations too high, I regretfully cannot side with the majority of my colleagues who have celebrated Fury Road as a new masterpiece.įury Road is the fourth installment in this franchise, though since it arrives thirty years after the threequel Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, it is understandably a reboot.
