Before heading to the cinema to watch Furiosa, I revisited Fury Road. Just as in 2015, I rated it a perfect 10.
Naturally, I had high hopes for its prequel, Furiosa.
These hopes were nearly fulfilled. The cinematography, with its rapid cuts that I loved in Fury Road, is brilliantly replicated in Furiosa. The production design, including the wildly creative vehicles, is just as impressive. The score is similarly outstanding, and the acting is top-notch, with notable performances by the talented child actor Alyla Browne, the furious Anya Taylor-Joy, and the wild Chris Hemsworth. Honestly, the CGI that some critics mentioned didn't bother me at all!
The only reason I'm giving Furiosa a 9 instead of a 10 is due to its story. It's darker and more brutal than Fury Road, which I enjoyed. However, it delves deeper into the world of Mad Max and spans across 15 years, unlike Fury Road, which focuses on one intense chase. I preferred the story of Fury Road because it offered fewer details about the world, making it feel more mysterious and immersive. The single, continuous chase made the narrative more dynamic and intense.
Nevertheless, I love Furiosa and will certainly watch it again. Hence, the excellent rating of 9.
