The prequel to the 2015 film, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is a film directed by George Miller starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. It’s another mesmerizing chapter of the Mad Max saga that has continued to captivate audiences since its debut in 1979.
The original Mad Max, apart from skyrocketing Mel Gibson to fame, revolutionized American B-series cinema by creating a futuristic yet low-budget movie – a germination of ideas that other productions were quick to take advantage of.
Then came 2015 when George Miller decided to resurrect this title, providing a completely fresh experience while still abiding by the essence of the 70s movie. Now, we have this second installment, maintaining the original spirit but splashes even more action onto the screen – just what the audience craves.
The 2015 movie starred Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, while “Furiosa” showcases the talent of Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, and Tom Burke, a cast that guarantees top-notch performances and quality.
About the Film
Described in one word: spectacular. “Furiosa” stands out for its exceptional action scenes, car chases, and extraordinary parallel montages, laced with humor and a well-thought-out script. The story grips the audience, keeping them hooked even in sequences leading up to the main event: the awe-inspiring car chases in the middle of the desert.
“Furiosa” doesn’t veer away from the visual aesthetics of its predecessor. As expected, we are in a post-apocalyptic desert world where water is scarce, and gasoline is invaluable. The entire action revolves around this fuel, a kidnapped girl, and the confrontation between two diabolical villains. Sequels often fall flat, but “Furiosa” manages to entertain, amuse, and keep you glued to your seat throughout its 140-minute runtime, packed with unceasing thrill.
Our Opinion
A film pulsating with adrenaline in every scene. With its spectacular direction and editing, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” more than meets the demands of its script filled with irony, adrenaline, and ample humor.
