Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) SPOILER FREE REVIEW LIVE | Movies Merica | 5.26.24

It’s been 9 years that we’ve been waiting for director George Miller to make another Mad Max movie.

We’ll have to keep waiting because he still hasn’t made a Mad Max movie with the new movie, Furiosa.

In the 2015 smash hit Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa was really a co-lead character with Mad Max ironically enough given Mad Max is literally in the movie title.

As a result, the assumption by some is that the world was begging for a Furiosa origins movie and now they get it.

Furiosa stars Anya Taylor Joy as a younger version of the titular character, formerly played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road.

In Furiosa, we’re introduced to Furiosa as a little girl living in a “green place” in the middle of the post-apocalyptic desert Wasteland of Australia.

However, she sees some bad guys invading the “green place” and they take her captive.

That results in her Mom giving chase to save her daughter and that sets off a chaotic chain of events that includes meeting Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus character.

He’s the leader of a massive gang of Wasteland motorcycle riders and he wants to know where the green place is.

This movie does include some of the same type of action scenes that Fury Road had, along with showing us more in-depth, some Wasteland fortresses we didn’t see as much in that previous movie.

Does this movie miss actually having Mad Max in it?

Is it worth seeing at the theater?

Furiosa also stars Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, George Shevtsov, Lachy Hulme, John Howard, Angus Sampson, Charlee Fraser and Elsa Pataky
