Watch Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome For Free

Blistering performances.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The Mad Max franchise is one of the rare film franchises where each film truly feels like its own animal. The original Mad Max is a classic revenge film with pseudo-Western elements, The Road Warrior is a gritty, low-budget action flick (think The Raid but with cars), and Fury Road is a stunt-driven blockbuster spectacle. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third film in the series, is definitely the most different of the films, but that isn't to say its bad. It isn't.In this entry, Max's camel wagon (made out of his crashed V8 Interceptor) is stolen and hocked in Bartertown. Max travels there and meets with Aunty Entity, the leader of town, who promises to resupply him if he helps her take down her enemy, Master Blaster, in a Thunderdome duel (post-apocalyptic WWE with no rules). Max defeats Master Blaster but refuses to kill him, and is exiled, where he meets a tribe of oasis-dwelling children who survived a plane crash. The kids believe Max to be the long-lost pilot returning to take them back to civilization, and he eventually agrees to help them get to the mythical "Tomorrow-morrow Land".It's a given that Mel Gibson is great as Max. Tina Turner's Aunty Entity is the butt of a lot of jokes, but she really isn't that bad. Most of the other performances are pretty good, barring a few child actors that aren't great. Other givens with the Mad Max franchise include the set design and production design being great, and they are here. Bartertown, the Canyon Oasis, and the Thunderdome itself are all creative and fun to look at. The costume design is also excellent, especially for the Bartertown residents. A Bugs Bunny toy that makes an appearance is a nice Easter egg to subtly remind us of the post-apocalyptic world the films take place in.An added bonus is how quotable this film is. None of the Mad Max films feature a lot of dialogue, but much like Fury Road, there are plenty of memorable lines to be found among the general silence. "Raggedy man", "no matter where you go, there you are", "two men enter, one man leaves" "bust a deal, face the wheel"... all lines sure to illicit recognition from even casual fans of the series.The biggest issue with the movie is that it feels like two films in one. George Miller, the director, suffered some personal tragedies partway through and left the project, leaving his friend George Ogilvie to finish it. For the most part, you don't notice that directors changed halfway through, which is a testament to editing, but you can still occasionally see indications of it. Additionally, the story is very disjointed; despite Miller's best efforts to connect them at the end, the first half of the film Bartertown has very little to do with the second half, which is basically Lord of the Flies in Australia. Because both the stories are so engaging and great on their own, it doesn't take away from the film that much, but it is a bit jarring, and ideally this film would be two separate shorter films.All in all, a well-made but slightly disjointed film that is a lot of fun to watch, but is definitely the weakest of the franchise and doesn't measure up to the excellence of Road Warrior and Fury Road. But again, not to say it's bad. It's like saying winning a million dollars isn't as good as winning a million and a half dollars. I would still recommend this film to anyone who loves action movies.

Max' vehicle is stolen by pilot Jerediah and his son. Max then goes to the post-apocalyptic town called Bartertown. This town is ruled by Aunty Entity. To get his car back he has to do some shady stuff. But then he finds himself fighting against Master Blaster in the so called "Thunderdome". Well actually he only fights Blaster, because Master Blaster exists out of a tiny man and a muscular giant man. This was the first part of the movie. you can see the movie as two separate movies, and if I am going to tell the epitome of the second "movie" I am afraid I am going to spoil some things.George Miller came back as the director of this movie, he also did "Mad Max" (a good movie), "Mad Max: Road Warrior" (even better) and "Mad Max: Fury Road" (the best movie of 2015 till now). In this Mad Max movie he did a good job at directing it, I just don't get why he made it feel like there were two different movies. If the fleshed out the first part of the movie more, this would have been an amazingly good movie, but they didn't. The cinematography was very well done, the camera flows were nice, and there were some pretty aerial shots. Sometimes, mostly in Bartertown, there were long shots, with just a couple of edits, but with these shots they showed really good how the post-apocalyptic town looks like.Due to these shots they made the town more interesting. With these aerial shots they also showed well how deserted the wasteland looks. The clothing design was like in the previous movies, a bit on the cheap hand. But I liked that they kept the clothing style of the second movie. like the rugby sholderpats and the mohawk. The wig of Max looked really fake, which was a big minus for me. The music was good too, it felt Mad Maxy, and fitted well with the post-apocalyptic ethos. This movie stars Mel Gibson, Tina Turner and a lot of lesser known actors. Mel Gibson repraised his role as Max Rockatansky. He was just as good as in the previous movies, although I like Tom Hardy better as Max. Mels Mad Max still had some charisma of the previous films, which was nice. Tina Turner was OK, she was better then I expected, you don't get a lot of good performances of singers. Even though Adam Levigne was pretty good in "Begin Again". Turner played Enity. She was in control of Bartertown. You also had the Master and the Blaster. Angelo Rossitto played the Master. He is a tiny guy. I didn't like him at all. He was too childish, just near the end of the movie I started to like him more. He felt like a comic relief. Or as someone who has to lure in more kids to the theater. The Blaster is played by Paul Larsson. Max had to fight him in the Thunderdome. This scene was probably my favorite scene of the movie. It was very creative, and nicely filmed. In the thunderdome the opponents are tied up to two elastic cords. on the roof of the arena there are weapons, and the two opponents have to get a weapon and then kill each other. In this scene Max gets his hands on a chainsaw. This was the perfect opportunity to have a blood fest. But because the movie is rated pg13 it isn't. And it is so stupid that it is rated pg 13. The script of the first part of the movie was well written but the script of the second part, was just plain boring. it was dull and unnecessary. it was just ridicule at times. The story of the first part was good, but it already ends after the first hour after that you don't hear anything anymore about the thunderdome, nothing at all!there were also some clichés in the movie but the thing that bothered me was that they tried to recreate the chase scene from the first movie, but with the truck being a train. the fighting in this last scene is just to comical. I mean, come on, they hit someone with a pan... Overall this is the worst Mad Max film that there is. The first part was really good and gets a nine out of then from me, but the second part just ruined everything for me, and this part gets a one out of then which is a ten out of twenty which makes it a 5/10. This movie is very interesting at the beginning, but ends as a boring mess.

I've seen all the Mad Max movies and so far, aside from the first one this is the second worst besides the first one. There's nothing in particular that's wrong with this one but I just really prefer The Road Warrior and Fury Road. Basically the plot is simple, someone manages to steal Max's ride and go to a town with it so he has to go get his stuff back. However halfway through doing what the leader of the town (Tina Turner) he decides to leave but that ends up with him walking through a desert which at the last minute gets him to a civilization that believes that Max can lead them to their paradise, 1980's Sydney. However he decides the way to do this after he is reluctantly dragged along is to steal vehicles and other odds and ends necessary from the town and gain numbers from their prisoners. However them doing this means everyone and their brother is out to get them. The movie is stock Mad Max. Basically that's a problem because there is nothing in it as spectacular to look at as the stunts in Fury Road or The Road Warrior, It's just Max walks in this movie like a cowboy, then leaves in the sunset. There are good things like the cinematography, the stunts and the actors are good for the most part. It just has good elements but never goes above and beyond.

After all of his supplies are stolen "Mad Max" (Mel Gibson) walks to a small city in the middle of the desert known as "Bartertown" to try to retrieve what was taken from him. However, in order to get his supplies back he has to make a deal with the ruler of Bartertown known as "Aunty Entity" and she wants her main competitor killed. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this film started out great. Unfortunately, when the focus shifted from inside Bordertown to the desert, things began to deteriorate. Essentially, what started as a good post-apocalyptic action movie switched to a fantasy presumably made for a younger audience. At least that is my impression and I blame the directors (George Miller and George Ogilvie) for getting a bit too cute and trying to appease a more general audience and thereby forsaking the viewers who made up their base. As a result I have to rate this film as only average.
