In this third installment of the "Mad Max" series, Max (Mel Gibson) is back and this time he leads a tribe to rebel against a vengeful queen.
Review:
This film is not as good as the first two but still quite enjoyable.
I like the environment. Just like "The Road Warrior", Beyond Thunderdome expands the Universe and explores places that were not explored in it's predecessors. It has a great first act and intense final act.
I liked the characters. I liked Master and Blaster and Aunt Entity (played by Tina Turner) is a pretty awesome villain.
I think George Miller did a pretty good job directing this film, though not as much as the previous two. I like the sets, the costumes, and the make-up. The action scenes, just like in the first two, are intense. That road action scene towards the end is awesome and probably my favorite part of the whole film.
There are a couple of things that bugged me. One of them is that it's a bit silly at times. The other thing that bugged me is the second act. After the first act, the film kind of slows down and takes a bit of a ridiculous turn.
However, the third act picks it back up and makes up for it.
This film does some stupid things but I enjoyed it for what it is.
In the end, "Beyond Thunderdome" is not quite the best in the Mad Max series and does not have a very good second act, but overall, the film is enjoyable and should be satisfying to fans of dystopic fiction.
Max Scale:
7/10
