Review

I have to admit that my desire to see this movie comes from how epic Mad Max Fury Road was. One of the greatest action films I ever seen the 2015 movie is definitely a thrill ride.

This almost set me a stray with Furiosa as i watched it. Unlike any other Mad Max film Furiosa is a direct prequel to Fury Road taking place fully in the exact same universe (Although I want to note how much Beyond Thunderdome was referenced in Both Fury Road and Furiosa). I could help but to get in the theatre thinking I'm going to get the same effect from George Miller that I got with his last Mad Max outing.

However, the speed in particular of this movie was slow in compassion to the fast past non stop kinetic feel of Fury Road. It was obvious with the first action sequence in the first few minutes.

Another noticeable difference is a tone between both movies. As it says in the title Mad Max is mad and Furiosa is Furious going down the Fury Road. These two emotions lend well to brutal action in part four.

Furisoa is a different emotion of bleakness as we go through her entire origin story, from childhood to an adult. If you seen Mad Max 4 the movie even feels darker knowing how she got to that point. Plus the burtalness in that slow pace was actually more enhanced.

Goerge Miller visioned a movie with that bleakness. He's using the same composer from the last movie and this score lends to what is happening to Furisoa exactly like it did for Fury Road. I felt the CGI was a bit more obvious in this film than what seemed like more practical effects in Fury Road but it did add to the drama of the film.

Speaking of Drama Anna Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemmsworth were perfect. Hemmsworth seem like the perfect joker-like borderline of funny and villainous perfect for an Ozzi film in my personal opinion. I now cannot unsee Anna Taylor-joy as Furiosa, I could not image what Charlize Theron would do with the project at this point.

I definitely liked Fury Road better which is definitely not fair to this Mad Max saga as both movies are giving off different energy so I will say don't go into the theatre expecting that high octane energy and keep in mind that Furiosa's story is emotionally draining, like Black Swan emotionally draining, but it was worth the drain.
