I knew beforehand there was a bit of controversy over whether this was intended to be straight to streaming or not: director says "no"; star says "yes" (I think it's that way about), but I could see this doing well on the big screen.
It's trash, yes, but it knows it.

And the best, IMO, since 'The Road Warrior'.
This one also stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa - soon to have a spin-off movie of her own (albeit recast) - with a strong argument that this is really *her* movie instead of belonging to Max Rockatansky.
It helps, of course, that a lot of the (insane) stunts are real rather than SFX - for example, the polevaulters on top of cars? Real stuntmen.
