Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

In Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller has brought back his vision of a nightmarish post-apocalyptic wasteland, which turned Mad Max (1979); Mad Max 2 (1981), known better as The Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) into cult classics; their raw post-punk expression influencing on-screen dystopias for the last 30 years. Neither prequel nor sequel, the latest in the series is a do-over in the same vein of George Lucas’ 1997 Star Wars re-releases — altered to take advantage of advances in visual effects and sound quality — but at least Miller had sense enough to leave his originals intact.
