From Wikipedia:

Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action film directed, produced, and co-written by George Miller, and the fourth film of Miller's Mad Max franchise. The first film of the franchise in 30 years, Fury Road stars Tom Hardy as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, who replaces Mel Gibson in the title role, along with Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Keays-Byrne.

The film is set in a future desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities. When cult leader Immortan Joe (Keays-Byrne) sends Imperator Furiosa (Theron) off in an armored tanker truck to collect gasoline, he sees her drive significantly off route. Joe sends his entire army in pursuit of her, which leads to a lengthy road battle, which sees one of Joe's captives, Max (Hardy), joining forces with Furiosa. The film had its world premiere on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. It began wide theatrical release on 14 May 2015, including an out-of-competition screening at the 68th Cannes Film Festival. Critics have praised the film for its acting, screenplay, action sequences, stunts, and direction.

I saw this on the weekend. I really enjoyed it, and I've never seen any of the other movies. It was really nice to see a movie with strong female characters.

I may actually go watch this one- I'm hearing a lot of good things about it from a feminist perspective.

This may be the best action film I've ever seen.

Best movie, really nice to have an action movie that is action. Dialogue is only when necessary, no silly romantic storylines. Just flat out fun mostly non CGI entertainment.

Easily one of the best action movies I've seen in 20 years.

The stunt work is spectacular, and it has that real world non CGI heaviness to it, from using practical special effects and not a computer.

It's slightly insane, and I couldn't understand the Australian accents that well, (not that it mattered in this film). I enjoyed it more than Avengers.

I can't wait to see this. All the rave reviews coming in have definitely made me more excited. At first I was wary since I never saw any of the previous incarnations. But...looking at the trailers, and bts features? Wow! I'm going to see this on the big screen Saturday. Forget Avengers, this looks like the summer blockbuster of 2015. Still can't really wrap my mind around the fact that the same director made Babe.

I like it more now, having seen it two days ago, than I did right when I walked out of the theater. I guess I appreciated it for what it was, but I am not normally action movie inclined and I felt very tense the whole time. I felt like it could have used about ten more minutes of plot at either end, but from reading here and elsewhere that just means I am not the target audience for this! But I did enjoy it nonetheless, especially the badass older women.

I haven't seen it yet but I love that it is the same director as the original films and he's 70 now!!

Charlize looks badass.
