Mad Max: Fury Road

With Furiosa on the horizon, we watched Fury Road for the 3rd time, which is saying something, as there are very few movies I'll re-watch these days. Re-confirmed that this is one of my all-time favorite movies. Fresh off of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, this anti-CGI masterpiece is an equally enveloping world, that I also just can't get enough of. The cinematography, the stuntwork and practical effects, the energy and insanity of the characters and story is just done at such a high level that I literally have an ear-to-ear grin from open to close. Only complaint, a very small one, is the flashbacks Max has, of this unknown girl, and the way it's done don't totally jive with the rest of the movie. It doesn't quite match the tone or pacing or even the quality frankly. Never seen any of the other movies in this franchise and after watching this again, I really need to.
