Mad Max: Fury Road - 4 smiles

Although the movie's title suggests that Max (played by Tom Hardy) is the central character, he shares the hero duties with Charlize Theron's Furiosa, who is amazing, dominating every scene she's in. The plot is simple - it's one long chase with lots of explosions, crashes and special effects. The creativity is in the design of the various cars (which actually work), the costumes (note the difference in Furiosa's and the wives') and how each chase segment is different. Director and co-writer Geroge Miller cleverly develops character and his theme of redemption as the story progresses so you know little when the movie starts. Miller, who wrote the Mel Gibson Mad Max script, has a successful reboot and if you're an action fan, 'Mad Max: Fury Road is not to be missed.
