Furious 7 and the new Avengers sagas have already blown through and blown up box offices from coast to coast, and it’s barely June, with three months of pulse pounding pyrotechnics ahead. The latest arrival in the dystopian action genre? “Mad Max: Fury Road” dropped in theaters this past month – and what a wild ride it is.
