“When I watch BT, I felt like it was a pretty good addition to the mythos. Lots of worldbuilding that got paid off with Fury Road, cool characters, interesting exploration of the wasteland post-nuclear, and a hopeful ending.” Reddit · r/MadMax · 5 years ago
: While lighter on car mayhem than its predecessors, the final train/vehicle chase is often praised for its scale and stunt work.
: The first half is classic Mad Max world-building. Max enters Bartertown , a relatively civilized trading post ruled by Aunty Entity (Tina Turner). This segment features the legendary Thunderdome —an arena for resolving conflicts with the rule "Two men enter, one man leaves".
“This is a movie that strains at the leash of the possible, a movie of great visionary wonders.” Roger Ebert
: With the largest budget of the original trilogy, the film features impressive set designs and cinematography.
