Admit it — you are aching to see the new Mad Max movie. Dying. As in, you’d give your last gallon of guzzoline and get into a chainsaw fight with the Humungus for the last ticket. Of course you would. We’ve only been waiting for 30 years to see what happened beyond Thunderdome. We’re not quite home yet; but if this newest preview is any indication, we’ll know the way soon enough.
Fury Road is a sequel 25 years in the making. Two things make it unique. The first is that it’s directed by the same guy who directed all three of its predecessors, George Miller. But the guy who made the role, Mel Gibson, has been replaced with Thomas "Bane" Hardy from Batman. So weirdly, this long-awaited sequel represents kind of an alternate universe, showing us what Mad Max’s original director would have done without Mel Gibson, and with 35 years of special-effects development.
The second thing that makes it unique is that Fury Road is an actual sequel, as in "Mad Max 4." It’s not a reboot, a prequel or a re-imagining; it takes place directly after the events of Beyond Thunderdome, in the same world on the same timeline. It’s weird that that should even be weird, but try to think of the last reborn movie franchise to do that. What? Tron: Legacy? Pretty narrow field either way.
Prepare to go back in time for the latest and most comprehensive look at Mad Max: Fury Road. It’s sure to be a lovely day.
