In a post-apocalyptic future, Max (Mel Gibson), an Australian policeman, has his world turned upside down by a gang that wreaks havoc and murders his family. Max hits the road and sets out to seek revenge.
Review:
This is a really good film overall.
The story is compelling and unique. It is set in a world of it's own and I like the environment. While it is not as dystopian as the sequels, it is a very good introduction to Mad Max and his world.
I like the characters. The protagonist Max is very likeable and he leaves the audience rooting for him. The gang members are cool looking as well as their vehicles.
I think George Miller did a great job directing. The sets, costumes, make-up and design are all quite impressive for 1979. The action scenes are neat and downright intense.
The one problem that I have with the film is that not a whole lot happens and it sort of left me waiting for the plot to kick in.
Overall, this is a great classic film and I highly recommend it.
Max Scale:
9/10
