Furiosa is a tale of revenge, set in the Wastelands of the Mad Max Universe. (Possibly a rebooted Mad Max Universe.) Our main hero is a young girl who is taken from her people by a gang of thugs, and the first hour of this epic film tells the story of that young girl and the attempts by her loved ones to rescue her.
She ends up being traded to the villains from the Fury Road in return for land and oil, and the rest of the film we see how she she grows up into the ass-kicker with one mechanical arm we see when Max meets her later on.
The battle scenes in this movie are extraordinary. One in particular amazing sequence is where Furiosa is a stowaway on an oil rig and she helps her people (and a strong male ally who is sort of like Max) fight marauders. Holy smokes! What a fight scene.
This film is a prequel to Fury Road, but it is also in many ways its own story. And it's quite the saga.
Definitely, do not listen to people who throw shade at this film. I'm not even a big Fury Road fan, and this film isn't perfect, but it continues the legacy of emotional storytelling, great world building, compelling characters, and the most insanely high quality road war scenes...ever. Seriously, even the minor characters all feel fully fleshed out with story.
Some people say the CGI threw them, but I saw this in IMAX and I thought it was fine. Had no problem with it. I definitely hope they make more Mad Max movies.
