By Nelson Tracey for CINEMACY Early into the film, Nux (Nicholas Hoult) screams the film’s tagline with cultish insanity: “What a Lovely Day!” Indeed, there isn’t a better way to summarize the visceral, unconventional, deranged journey that unfolds over the course of two jam-packed hours in Mad Max: Fury Road. An important note for potential viewers of this film is that despite the fact that it is a reboot of an existing character and world, Mad Max: Fury Road requires no preface or introduction. This is a film meant to be seen by new audiences, in direct contrast to so many of the reboots which are more a ploy of nostalgia for fanboys prior to 1990. The visionary George Miller, who has directed every film in the series, is back to tell more Max stories for an entirely new audience. And he doesn’t hold back. Without a second to waste, we enter the world of Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) and it’s a nasty, fully realized post-apocalypse. Dystopias are all the rage in the wake of The Hunger Games, but none of them have nearly the level of detail and sophisticated madness that Fury Road displays. A major point of praise is that so much of the story is displayed through the visuals. The same goes for characters, plot points, you name it; this is an exercise in using dialogue to a bare minimum in favor of visual spectacle. The level of detail sets the bar extremely high for any future film trying to capture a futuristic world. Nothing is easy to digest about Fury Road: it is a wild ride of non-stop mayhem. In other words, it is an absolute blast. One of the most exciting elements of the film is the stunt work. According to the director, 80% of what is onscreen is practical effects. Seeing some of the ludicrous stunts that are pulled off so magnificently is an incredible treat. The pacing of the film, while still remaining a nonstop thrill ride, builds nicely as it continues to get progressively bigger without losing its genuine feeling. From time to time the film cuts to black to break up the sequences, and I found myself catching my breath each time. When it comes to big-budget blockbusters, this is what we should be asking for. With the amount of money that gets poured into these movies, seeing Mad Max is a reminder of the insanely good results that can be produced. It’s just as relevant to mention how well utilized the principal cast is. This isn’t a movie grounded in flashy performances, but every character manages to say so much with so little. Tom Hardy may be my favorite working actor today, choosing such a wide range of daring projects and bringing so much poise to each one. There is an interesting parallel between this film and Locke, Hardy’s film from last year in which he is the only actor on screen, and the entire runtime he is driving in a car talking on the phone. This time around, Hardy is once again driving a majority of the time, and dealing with similar themes of chaos and control. But this isn’t just his movie. Charlize Theron is just as much the lead this time around as Imperator Furiosa, and true to form, she is the toughest female lead you could possibly conjure. Pinning the two together creates a dynamic that is top tier. The film goes at you very fast, and because the story is so richly detailed, it’s hard to capture everything the first time around. I found myself wanting to watch the film again. Incredible CGI-minimal action sequences, top-notch production design, conventiondefying structure and story– if you haven’t already gathered, this is not just another film, it is a towering feat in blockbuster filmmaking and a reminder of what movies aim to be.

Looking Up NASA’s Europa Mission Begins With Selection of Science Instruments This view of the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa was obtained by NASA’s Galileo mission, and shows a color image set within a larger mosaic of low-resolution monochrome images. Galileo was able to survey only a small fraction of Europa’s surface in color at high resolution; a future mission would include a high-resolution imaging capability to capture a much larger part of the moon’s surface. Photo Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Based on a NASA press release, provided by Bob Eklund NASA has selected nine science instruments for a mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa, to investigate whether the mysterious icy moon could harbor conditions suitable for life. NASA’s Galileo mission yielded strong evidence that Europa, about the size of Earth’s moon, has an ocean beneath a frozen crust of unknown thickness. If proven to exist, this global ocean could have more than twice as much water as all of Earth’s oceans. With abundant salt water, a rocky sea floor, and the energy and chemistry provided by tidal heating, Europa could be the best place in the solar system to look for present-day life beyond our home planet. “Europa has tantalized us with its enigmatic icy surface and evidence of a vast ocean, following the amazing data from 11 flybys of the Galileo spacecraft over a decade ago and recent Hubble observations suggesting plumes of water shooting out from the moon,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “We’re excited about the potential of this new mission and these instruments to unravel the mysteries of Europa in our quest to find evidence of life beyond Earth.” NASA’s fiscal year 2016 budget request includes $30 million to formulate a mission to Europa. The mission would send a solarpowered spacecraft into a long, looping orbit around the gas giant Jupiter to perform repeated close flybys of Europa over a threeyear period. In total, the mission would perform 45 flybys at altitudes ranging from 16 miles to 1,700 miles. The payload of selected science instruments includes cameras and spectrometers to produce high-resolution images of Europa’s surface and determine its composition. An ice penetrating radar will determine the thickness of the moon’s icy shell and search for subsurface lakes similar to those beneath Antarctica. The mission also will carry a magnetometer to measure strength and direction of the moon’s magnetic field, which will allow scientists to determine the depth and salinity of its ocean. A thermal instrument will scour Europa’s frozen surface in search of recent eruptions of warmer water, while additional instruments will search for evidence of water and tiny particles in the moon’s thin atmosphere. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed water vapor above the south polar region of Europa in 2012, providing the first strong evidence of water plumes. If the plumes’ existence is confirmed—and they’re linked to a subsurface ocean—it will help scientists investigate the chemical makeup of Europa’s potentially habitable environment while minimizing the need to drill through layers of ice. Last year, NASA invited researchers to submit proposals for instruments to study Europa. Thirty-three were reviewed and, of those, nine were selected for a mission that will launch in the 2020s. “This is a giant step in our search for oases that could support life in our own celestial backyard,” said Curt Niebur, Europa program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “We’re confident that this versatile set of science instruments will produce exciting discoveries on a much-anticipated mission.” •
