Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (23 May 2024)

 


A prequel to the last Mad Max release, this action-thriller is an amazing conceptualization and execution of a dystopian society in the Australian wastelands where habitats of clean water and food produce are almost non-existing and thus the greatest necessity and cause of cruel feuds between gangs and people.

Strangely, there is no food but more than enough machinery to cause mayhem and destruction!!

Chris Hemsworth as warlord Dementus, the head of a biker horde, has taken acting to an altogether different level. He has delivered much more than it could have been on the paper.

Be it anger, sarcasm, nonchalance or comic timing, he is simply bang on. 

All of his good/bad actions seem justified if you consider his past experiences and point of view, which he makes sure that you understand, by using the right facial expressions!!

Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa is interesting to watch as a silent and stoic kid turned into an intelligent, gallant and ruthless warrior with mammoth inner strength.

The cinematography by Simon Duggan is impactful and the direction by George Miller is simply amazing.

Overall it's a 148 minutes watch of full madness with method.
