    Mad Max Fury Road

    I'm on a roll (short lull in my schedule). An audio workout extraordinaire. My subs were earning their keep. A review described it as a two hour adrenaline rush. Pretty much sums it up. NOT a date movie (at least not early in the relationship), even with the (surprisingly well integrated) feminist subtext in the story. It's not an "in your face" agenda movie, for anyone who might be worried about such things.

      Excited to watch this but I barely have time to watch movies WITH my wife and I doubt she'll want to see this one...

        Tell her it is a feminist critique of action movie tropes disguised as a conventional sci-fi/post-apocalyptic popcorn blockbuster. Perhaps that'll convince her to try it out. (Or not). 8)

          Did not enjoy this one. Minimalist plot, solely relied on obligatory smashing visuals. I recommend it for those who like the idea of apocalypse movies, but don't bother for a story or the human condition element. For those who like big trucks driving fast with steampunk themes and massive visuals.

          Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

            I thought it was just me. I was bored throughout. I need more than just action and noise.

              Same response here as well. Was hoping for more from the largely positive reviews.
