Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024, Australia/USA)

Director: George Miller

Writers: George Miller & Nico Lathouris

Mini-review:

Mad Max: Fury Road came out during a defining moment of my life and instantly became one of my all-time favorites. I've spent nine long years waiting for a new movie set in this universe, and I'm ecstatic to report it has been absolutely worth it. I went in somewhat worried, thinking it wouldn't meet my insanely high expecations, but it actually surpassed them with ease. It gave me everything that made me love the previous one so much, while also adding enough new elements to be surprising and avoid monotony. The action and car chase scenes are... WOW. Man, I was in awe of every single move and stunt. I can't begin to imagine what it was like to film this stuff, but I hope the cast and crew realize they made a work of art, a piece of poetry in motion.

In fact, the whole movie is a technical marvel: the costumes, the makeup and hairstyling, the sets, the cinematography, the lighting... Everything was incredible. And the acting, too; Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth give two sublime performances, the best of their careers, which is saying a lot. George Miller has one of the most beautiful, genius brains in the entire film industry, and this top-notch cast and crew has helped him made another masterpiece. I don't know if this franchise will get more movies, but I'm just happy it gave us one more miracle in the form of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

I can't believe I'm finally seeing Furiosa in a few days. Watching Fury Road on the big screen all those years ago was a life-changing moment for me, so imagine how excited I am about this one. I'm trying to contain my expectations, but still, MY BODY IS READY.
