I have to agree with the plotless aspect. I will, however, defend it solely for its special effects. I think modern films should strive for the standard that movie set in my mind.
Edit: Sure the plot is nothing to write home about but in this sense it’s a pure action movie and as an action movie it’s of a much higher quality than what the industry has given us for a very long time.
Dammit, I wanna argue against this so bad. I feel like Fury Road is among the rare, if not only, reboot or sequel or whatever you’d call it for movies that had a fresh entry after so long that holds pretty decent in light of the originals. It has awesome visuals, pretty good pacing, immersive characters, decent interactions.
Yet now I feel like the main plot is kinda stitch-together, “rise up people!” Marvel kind of garbage, with catchy “witness me” kinda stuff sparkled. Local settlement warlords in style of Farcry 3 and up.
Well the plot is very simple but there are lot of worldbuilding details and some are very easy to miss.
Like Immortan Joe has some kind of disease. His skin is all fucked up and he wears a muscular looking suit to hide that, just before going in front of a massive crowd of followers to give them barely enough water.
All of that is shown through images and not via verbal exposition. We’ve seen him for barely 2 minutes and Miller has already told us what kind of person he is.
Or the hand gesture of war boys mimic the V8 engine.
Give it another shot and see what else you can pick up.

Bro didn’t notice all the ‘show, don’t tell moments’ in the movie
