This adds nothing to the character or the franchise. It utter lacks the sociopolitical commentary of the other films, the women are never more than commodities, the world they create makes little sense, and the chase scenes are so cliche as to be meaningless. This is not the same Max. The only similarity is the name. Save the 2 hours and watch Star Trek reruns, you'll have more fun.

Musical Score... Under-appreciated Brilliance.
25 January 2016
The musical scoring throughout the show has been wonderful, but in this episode it rose to a new level and was truly was essential to the impact of the story. It built tension gradually with multiple repetitions and reiterations of a central theme, starting out on a solo cello, moving through other instruments and transpositions to other keys, combining into subtle harmonies. The low tones of the cello resonate deeply with our psyches, but the theme was just off-kilter enough to unsettle us. The downbeat is actually the finale of the theme; the theme actually begins a few beats into the measure. Again, unsettling, but you don't know why until you focus on the score.
The score is haunting. It captures the importance, depth, sorrow, triumph, confusion, mysticism, timelessness, and epic nature of their journey and of the series itself. It still plays in my head, several days after seeing the episode.
Bravo/Brava to the composer.
