Music: Mad Max Fury Road Soundtrack

Last year I saw Mad Max Fury Road twice in the theater. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a movie twice in a movie theater, I'm just not that kind of fan. I don't go multiple times unless someone I know wants to go and I've already seen it, or if I went for free (which happened with Inception, once as an advance screening, once with my wife when it was out).

I've let it be known that this is my favorite action film in a long time. Every moment feels visceral and raw, it is audacious and ambitious while maintaining an incredibly simple and effective plot. It's visually stunning and, for my purposes, has a soundtrack that stands on its own thanks to Junkie XL. In writing some action sequences for The Black Sky, I had tracks from Fury Road on a loop to help set the tone, and it really helped shape what was happening in my head and typing on my computer.
