The look of a film is one of the most important aspects when it comes to building up a believable world the audience can engage with, suspending their disbelief and feeling as if they have been transported to another realm. In this respect, with its post-apocalyptic wasteland setting, Mad Max: Fury Road starts off with an immediate advantage over Furious 7, which is firmly rooted in the real world present day - albeit one in which a group of mercenary types seem to be able to get their hands on incredibly expensive cars at the drop of a hat and everyone sports designer clothes regardless of the circumstances. Miller's production and costume designers have clearly gone to town, crafting a distinct world which takes the look and feel of the original trilogy to new extremes - Immortan Joe's footsoldiers all bear heavy scarring on their pale white skin, while there are some amusing touches, including one bad guy clutching a "No Entry" road sign as a makeshift shield.
