George Miller’s post-apocalyptic flick served as a sequel to Mad Max, and starred Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. It followed Max Rockatansky (Tom) as he joined forces with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize) as they battled against warlord Immortan Joe (Hugh). Unfortunately for Netflix fans in the US, Mad Max: Fury Road has been slapped with a pesky ‘leaving soon’ sticker, and will be taken down on March 30. A warning reads that the last day to watch George’s masterpiece will be March 29 – it is currently not available to stream in the UK, but action lovers can buy or rent it from Amazon Prime Video now. The movie currently boasts a huge Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 97%, compared to a slightly less audience rating of 86%. Heaping praise on Charlize and Tom, Leprechaun K raved: ‘Movie was darn near perfect. Walked away knowing it will win a bunch of Oscars and it did.’ ‘The praise is well deserved,’ Sergio A agreed. ‘It took time, but George Miller has delivered a true masterpiece—original, inventive, and exhilarating. With outstanding performances and breathtaking production design, the film seamlessly blends artistic and technical brilliance. ‘One of the greatest films of this century.’ Charlize Theron stole the show in the 2015 action flick (Picture: Shutterstock) A user known only as B said: ‘A perfect action film. No notes.’ ‘Arguably, the greatest action movie ever made,’ Maxime T posted. ‘The movie is full throttle from start to finish. It never gets boring and leaves you wanting even more. A must see.’ As Kevin P added: ‘An insane roller coaster from beginning to end with amazingly creative and impressively practical stunt set pieces and thrillingly engaging visual storytelling. The movie has such a badass high level of energy that keeps up the momentum throughout the entire film. ‘It’s boosted by its leads actors Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron as Mad Max and Furiosa, both whom show off so much character despite saying very few lines. It’s a modern cult classic for very good reason and I’m so glad to have finally watched it!’ She won huge acclaim thanks to her role as Furiosa (Picture: Shutterstock) Fury Road was the fourth instalment of the Mad Max franchise – and grossed more than $380million at the global box office. A prequel titled Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was released last year, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth and Thom Burke. In 2020, Mad Max got the ultimate honor of being declared ‘the greatest movie of the century’ by critics and readers alike, in a poll conducted by Empire Magazine.

Some films you’ve forgotten by the time you get to the car park. Other seems to follow you around for the rest of your life.”’ Discussing the issues he faced when making the film, which took almost 20 years, he added: ‘Whenever it fell down, it didn’t stop me thinking about it. ‘You couldn’t kill it with a stick.’ Mad Max: Fury Road is available to stream on Netflix now.
