Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mad Mel is back on the job, cleaning up the dustbowls of post-apocalyptic Aussie. This time around, he's matched against Auntie (Turner) and the denizens of the pig-shit powered Bartertown in a rather erratic plot which rambles around the Outback before finally pulling itself together for the usual stunning chariots of fire and brimstone chase scene. En route, however, Miller unveils some marvellously original cinematic snaps (the lost city of the feral children; Master Blaster, the dwarf-powered giant; Thunderdome itself); and if the thrills and special effects lack a little of the punch of Mad Max 2, there's still enough imagination, wit and ingenuity to put recent Spielberg to shame.Author: DAt

- Posted on Dec 12 2007 07:37 George Miller gives us a masterpeice of story telling of the "apoxylipse" Best thing about the film aside from all the rollicking interesting characters (and "Auntie in high heels in the desert ) aside from the children of the future especially Helen Buday who narates for us, is the language amalgam that is used.
