Mad Max: Fury Road - 8.3/10

I live, I die, I live again, arriving at the gates of Valhalla shiny and chrome! Yes, Mad Max Fury Road is a strange movie, it's full of strange characters, strange progression and strange niches that I would consider ballsy in the movie business. Mad Max does a few things that I haven't seen in movies for a very long time and I feel, for example 80% of the special effects are practical, and not computer generated, which was a mind blowing fact considering that amount of stunts they do in that movie. Mad Max is a movie about ACTION, the movie starts off with Mad Max, doing an internal monologue, and then suddenly EXPLOSION, CHAOS, GUNFIRE and the pace just sort of continues that way throughout the entire movie. Now, we've seen this sort of action before, Transformers for example, seems to be just explosions and chaos and what-not, so who cares? What makes this action different from the crappy action of Transformers?

  1. Plot Exposition: In transformers there is a plot, the plot is LITERALLY told to you by the characters, they just go up to the screen and say "So currently X is happening and then Y will happen". In Mad Max, there IS no plot exposition, you sort of verify the plot from yourself through snide remarks of characters or simply the aesthetics of the background. A plot exists, and it's actually quite a sophisticated plot as well, but the plot is in the details, it's something you have to look for. For those wanting a cool story, they get their cool story, for those wanting mindless action, they get their mindless action.
  2. Aesthetics: Mad Max is all about style, whether it's people driving in a sandy desert in the middle of a tornado inside a sandstorm, with lighting flickering about everywhere. Or they're fighting in a misty swamp with crows flying around and lights flashing all about. Mad Max is there to impress aesthetically, explosions don't impress, art does.
  3. It's aware of itself: Mad Max is Mad. Literally, the whole film is over-the-top insane, and it's very aware it is insane. The characters are ridiculous, like a blind character who stands ontop of a truck that has 40 ft high speakers so people can hear the character play an electric guitar that shoots fire. The stunts are ridiculous, the story is ridiculous, the local is ridiculous, it's all just amazing.
   4. Consequences: In mad max, consequences happen. While all this insane stuff is going on, if someone gets shot, THEY'RE DEAD, that's it. It's not like some fast and furious stuff where people have plot armour as thick as the wall of china. Mad Max Characters are mortal, and most of these insane stunts kill characters, and it's quite awesome to see that happen

  So altogether, mad max is incredible, it's truly an awesome movie. It hides an intellectual story of a post-apocalyptic setting behind non-stop, never boring, chaotic madness. Mad Max may only speak 6 or 7 words in the entire movie, but the movie still comes off as great. What a beautiful day.

  Also a local sydney fur I know actually did some of the visual effects for it, he's in the credits!

It's a alright movie, but some things should be changed a bit.

π - 8.5/10


N-no, really. That's the name of the movie. π. With the symbol.

It is actually a truly chilling movie, and one of the most unique movies I've ever seen in a long time.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the director of later movies being Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Black Swan, etc., shot in gritty 16mm grayscale, and with a spectacular score composed of electronic music by various artists (three being the only original songs composed for the film by Clint Mansell included in the official soundtrack release), this film is about a very private man, alone in his triple-locked apartment with his supercomputer. This man is Max Cohen, played by Sean Gullete. He is an expert mathematician and number theorist, who believes that everything in nature can be understood through numbers. However, he also suffers from cluster headaches, hallucinations, social anxiety, and severe paranoia.

It's all about a race for the answer to a 216-digit number that he comes across, with which he is obsessed about, convinced that it holds the key to the universe, that it will let Max predict all of the patterns in a world of chaos and disorder. But it will turn out to be a descent to madness.

I very much recommend the movie to anyone who's interested in psychological thrillers. And maybe someone who knows numbers very well, so they can point out the inaccuracies that it may have relating to mathematics and numbers. I don't know any of them though.

I've been meaning to watch that, looks like a good psychological thing!

5/10


Production standards were good but SO generic as to be a humourless parody for me.  Jeff Bridges (who I think is OK) didn't have the gravitas for the mentor/wiseman role in this hero's journey.  Romantic subplot felt forced and an unveiled contrivance to generate the hero's internal conflict.

Sicario: 7.5/10

Sicario was a good movie, if you like movies similar to zero dark thirty and hurt locker you should see this. The movie is about an agent in the FBI as she goes on a special mission to hunt down one of the leaders of a large Mexican drug cartel. The movie is full of subtle twists and turns and the ending is satisfying and shocking. The plot can be a bit hard to follow at times, and it follows the standard "agency drama" shtick that things like law and order do. It does execute what it tries to achieve well though, and it gives backstories to very minor characters so every death you see in the movie seems quite significant.

  Overall good movie, not the best movie I've ever seen, but good!

Looper, 8/10

Brilliant film, although requires a certain amount of concentration (though not as much as a lot of time travel based films)

Last Movie i watched on DVD: Pink Panther (With Steve Martin) 7.5/10 Pretty funny Probably the only mystery type movie I'll ever watch. (well that & the sequel)

[Rob_Silvermyst]

The last movie I saw was Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens.

Without spoiling anything (or trying not to), it's on par with A New Hope, and has many of the same elements. It is a return to its true self with practical effects and only maybe two instances of CGI, and brief ones at that. It doesn't rely on nostalgia, but sprinkles it in here and there. The humor is subtle though certainly present and adds to the scenes rather than distracting from them. If you liked A New Hope, you will love The Force Awakens. It is not without its flaws as they weren't able to really squeeze in what may have happened within that 30 year gap between episode 6 and episode 7, so there are certainly a lot of questions right out of the gate. The CGI scenes, while short, do feel a bit out of place. There are some deus ex machina moments, but they are not too bad. You will have a case of the feels by the time it's over and even through the film.

I give it 4 lightsabers out of 5 deathstars.
