5. Mad Max: Fury Road

Screened: Out Of Competition Release Date: Out now. What's The Story? Max Rockatansky is back. Captured by Immortan Joe, he finds himself wrapped up in a fight for freedom when Imperator Furiosa kidnaps the rulers prime breeders. WhatCulture Says: "It€™s rare that a summer blockbuster is deserving of a five-star rating. Many can provide a fun time at the movies, but few offer anything in the way of meaningful subtext or genuinely investible emotions; simply, anything to turn them into art. Mad Max: Fury Road is that exception, a transcendence of its literal B-Movie origins into something thoughtful, exhilarating and, most prominently, beautiful. It€™s right at home among the more arthouse fare of Cannes and deserves to be warmly welcomed into the multiplex." Read the full review here.
