"Max Max: Fury Road" excels at world-building but could have done much more with it. Few other action films managed to create such a fascinating world and transport you into it naturally, preferring visual cues and little details over verbal-info dumping. Still, I hoped it was going to be a little more than a two-hour car chase with grotesque pageant floats. I am aware that narration doesn't play a big role in this kind of film, but then why eat up two whole hours with the same thing? I was wildly entertained for the first half or so, but my interest started dropping once I realized that it was going to be a round trip.
