A lot of this movie enter pop culture knowledge. They add a lot to the lore, introduce good characters and have some natural development. He will be dragged down into the fragile balance of power and things will change. When he follows them to a settlement called Bartertown to get back his stuff he is involved into the power struggles of the town. The story follows again (Mad) Max Rockatansky who travels through the wastelands when his car and all belongings were stolen by a pair of thieves with a smart approach that I wont spoil. Our civilization, technology and morals are just stories of the past or abstract concepts. Like all movies of the franchise it is set in a post apocalyptic future were the world is a barren wasteland / desert and the survivors struggle to survive. Of cause it is a bit different form the first 2 movies and cant compete with Fury Road but that is still nowhere near a disaster or even average. The movie has a good story, more character development than the prequels and solid action. If this is the lowest point than you should thank Hollywood that they did not butcher the franchise and that it is one of a few franchises with no weak movie. I say those should see a real bad sequel like Highlander 2, Star Trek 5 or Star Wars The Last Jedi. This movie is not like by a lot of Mad Max fans and they say it is the worst movie in the franchise.
