Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

🥱Not so furious...

On the surface, this should've been a slam dunk.

Unfortunately It isn't.😑

The audience was probably expecting the level of production that Fury Road gave us in 2015, at least I was, instead we get a weird slower movie that struggles to grip your interest in the characters.

It starts pretty slow and starts to pick up paste only after the 50 minute mark, in turn that makes it feel much longer than 2 and a half hours.⌛

Due to a lack of explaining from the movie, you are almost required to have watched Fury Road because that gave a lot more concise and important information on the Mad Max's world that Furiosa just glosses over or takes for granted.

Now a few positive notes:

Anya Taylor-joy is really badass as Furiosa and lives up to Charlize Theron's previous performance.💯

There are super smart and beautifully composed wide shots, they give sense of scale to all our important locations through the desert.

Now let's get back to the bad stuff: 

In almost every "motorized" scene the CGI is so poorly done that character moves feel straight from a 2010 video game... 

I seriously don't know how this is possible in 2024...🤮

Obviously, or so I thought, the soundtrack should be fire, right?

Nope it's pretty boring and to be honest I already forgot most of it.

I would recommend it to every Mad Max fan out there and to everyone who liked Fury road, just don't expect anything that special.

How Would I Fix It ?

  • Hemsworth as a villain it's not that bad, the only problem that I have with it is that sometimes he's really smart and sometimes he's really dumb just to favor the moving forward of the plot.

  • Cut the initial part as much as possible to slim down the runtime and increase the paste of it.
