1 Line Review: A truly Cinematic Excellence.
I saw the trailer a month ago and was amazed to realise that the entire movie involved fighting on the road. Aptly named as Fury Road! Now that I have seen the movie I must confess my eagerness to watch the movie did get me through an awesome visual and audio treat. Loved it, for it was not anything like I have seen ever before.
The movie is set in a different world where fuel and water is scarce and 1 person (Immortal Joe) has the access and means to control both the items and hence has become the lord of the people there and all of them work for him and his family.
All the fights starts when one of the key soldiers – Furiosa (the ever sexy Charlize Theron) revolts. This is when it is revealed that Immortal Joe was hiding more than just fuel, water and vegetation but also 5 of his beautiful wives!
And when one of the Joe’s captive’s joins hands with the 6 ladies it become even more clearer that this battle of good vs. evil is gonna rock. Later they are joined by another of Immortal Joe’s worker/slave.
Apart from the fact that everything was happening on the road, the other thing that fascinated me was the kind of vehicles they were using. Totally amazing they were. From big modified trucks, modified tankers, cool bikes, modified cars, SUV’s and what not. And how can I forget that 1 person whose only job in the movie was to play guitar (rock) on top of a armoured vehicle and his KRA was to keep the fighters excited. He was too funny.
The way they thought of putting guns and other armours in the vehicle was just out right super creative. I can only imagine how much time they would take to get all the frames into 1 awesome movie. Its also a stunts and special effects excellence.
You got to watch this in 3D or IMAX. For a change I was so involved in the movie that I did not realise I was watching it in 3D. Its engaging and an edge of the seat thriller. Go for it. You may not be a fan of such movies, but go watch it for you might never get a chance to see such a beautiful work of art.
