And this is the main problem with Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: it looks the part, but it just doesn’t do the Mad Max stuff as well as the previous films. The final one is pretty epic, but it never quite hits the heights of the second film’s tanker sequence. I did miss the signature car chases, however. The ending is nicely done, though, and really sells the bigger world that the film inhabits. The plot is a little unfocused, but story was never a strong point for the franchise. The fight between Max and Master-Blaster deserves its place on any all-time list. I revisit the third film to see just how big the detour was and. Then there is the Thunderdome itself, which still seems genuinely inspired. 30 years ago, the Mad Max franchise went off-road, on-rails, through Bartertown, and beyond Thunderdome. And its inhabitants are wonderfully striking, from Tina Turner’s self-made matriarch to the strange symbiotic creature that is Master-Blaster. The airborne bandit Jedediah and his young son attack him and steal his vehicle, and Max follows Jedediah's trail to a trading post called Bartertown.

Barter Town, however, is an extraordinary invention, a den of vice and trade, like a post-apocalyptic Casablanca cobbled together from whatever remained of civilisation. Plot In post-apocalyptic Australia, Max Rockatansky is crossing the desert in a motor vehicle pulled by camels. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - Movie review by film critic Tim Brayton love how the original Mad Max trilogy starts out like Death Wish and finishes like Peter Pan, with the titular avenger now being adopted as a surrogate father by a tribe of lost boys (and lost girls).
