" Because if a guy did it, it would look like every other action movie" he said. Sixel had never edited an action film before and asked him why he chose her. The film's editor is Margaret Sixel who happens to be George Miller's wife.This certainly helps make the film feel special and for that, Miller is to be commended. It's refreshing to find a film that uses CG to enhance the footage rather than replace it altogether, giving the film an old-school vibe and authenticity we rarely see these days. You can hear the rumble of thirsty V8 engines and feel the impact of every explosion or the heat of the desert on your skin when you watch this movie. What's even more impressive is that the entire thing looks like it was filmed on location and not cooked up on a computer screen somewhere. From the assortment of oddball characters and their distinctive cars to the depth of the setting, the film is possibly the closest yet to that of Miller's original vision. As such, the world of Fury Road is both familiar and weirdly unique and yet, Miller still manages to make this film look incredible. It's a testament to the power of the original trilogy that leather-clad bandits driving strange gas-guzzling vehicles over a desert wasteland has become synonymous with all things post-apocalyptic. Receiving a staggering 10 nominations at that year's Academy Awards, the film won the most prizes on the night with six awards and has since been labelled one of the best action films of the 2010s, if not of all time. The film took more than $375 million worldwide - the most in the series so far - and was lauded by critics for its action scenes, direction and the performances of its lead cast. The film was conceived back in 1987 but found itself stuck in development hell until 2007 when Miller reannounced the film as his next project after the release of Happy Feet. The film sees Tom Hardy replace Mel Gibson in the title role and also stars Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley. Directed and co-written by series co-creator George Miller, the film sees Max caught up in the deadly pursuit of a fuel tanker across the post-apocalyptic wasteland by a crazed and vengeful warlord and his minions. Mad Max: Fury Road is a sci-fi action movie released in 2015 and is the fourth instalment of the Mad Maxseries, the first in 30 years.
