An action essential
through and through, it's plain and simple! Since the days of 'Die Hard'
and 'Terminator', the action genre has turned into a repetitive,
over-the-top array of films trying too hard to create entertaining
sequences that instead look too cheesy due to bad composition or an
overuse of CGI, of course along the way we have had some fine exceptions
in the style of 'Casino Royale' and 'The Dark Knight', but certain
directors *cough* Michael Bay... don't seem to be able to use their
knowledge of an action sequence to its full potential and instead have
constant fiery explosions and over-the-top shaky camera-work among other
things... oh but then there's 'Mad Max: Fury Road', talk about epic
action pieces. It has been 30 years since the release of 'Beyond
Thunderdome' back in 1985, and George Miller decided to return to the
directorial chair for a Mad Max reboot, and my God, he truly is a
mastermind of action. After creating the epic scale of an action film in
the form of 'Mad Max: The Road Warrior' it was going to be hard to live
up to the previous films in the franchise, but Miller didn't just do
that, he excelled at it and instead beat his previous films. With Tom
Hardy as the new face of Max and Namibia as the new backdrop for post-
apocalyptic Australia, 'Fury Road' is an exhilarating action fest that
goes beyond its boundaries in creating what might just be one of the
greatest action films ever made. Hearing that nearly 90% of the stunts
and effects were practical literally blew me away, the sequences are
extravagant and complex with frequent fireballs and car crashes filling
the screen. George Miller's 2015 vigorous tale blends emotion and
brutality with drama and action to reignite Australia's greatest film
franchise and create the epitome of the action genre.
