8/10
Watching it on Blu-Ray, I do wish I had made a bigger effort to see it in theatres. But what can you do. It starts a little slower than expected and I feel the claims of the movie being "non-stop action" or "breathless" are a little overhyped. The action certainly stops at times and you can certainly catch your breath. It's for the best that the action doesn't stop that often because the dialogue is definitely clunky, although it gets the job done. The movie is a bit like a rollercoaster and, of course, the last drop is the best, a truly gripping and jaw-dropping sequence. I have no earthly idea how George Miller came up with 99% of the stuff in here (or how he found a studio to bankroll it) but he deserves all the credit in the world for bringing an insane vision to screen and making it work so well.
