Does this look lame to anyone? Fury Road was a fantastic movie. One of the best action oriented movies of the 21st century. Witness me!

It looks like an album cover. Movies are supposed to have a story.

And it had a story. It was a very, very simple story but it was incredibly well told.

Some people chase some other people across some sand. And people complain about Avatar's plot!

It's better to have a simple plot than a dumb one.

"Help people escape from baddies that are chasing you," is simple and timeless.

"Put your brain into a giant blue thing so you can fall in love with another giant blue thing and then realize that hurting the environment is bad, m'kay," barely qualifies as the most stupid Captain Planet and the Planeteers pitch ever.

Corrected. It wasn't like I cared about any of those people. And if I want to look at sand I will walk down to the beach.

I'm guessing you've never been chased.

No, it's not! That's the point. But ... it wasn't boring, was it?

Terminator? That's just a chase movie.
Minority Report? Chase movie.
Fugitive? Chase movie.

Heck, even classics like North by Northwest are really just chase movies.

Fury Road just distills it to the essence.
