Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Gentlemen, start your engines…
It’s War Boys & War Rigs from the Green Place of Many Mothers to the Citadel to Gastown to the Bullet Farm as the prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Road” details Furiosa’s origins. Anya Taylor-Joy takes over Charlize Theron’s role as the younger Furiosa. See how she is kidnapped to be a gift to Dr. Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), leader of the Biker Horde, & eventually traded to Immortan Joe. See how she survives using wits & developing skills so she can reek revenge on Dementus. See how Dementus seizes opportunities to grab power & an advantage. Hemsworth & Taylor-Joy are both outstanding in what they bring to the plate of this epic George Miller outrageous fantasy world of lawlessness in a beautiful vast wasteland. This is an homage to the Mad Max film series with bigger & wilder amazing stunts while racing through the desert terrain. Fans won’t be disappointed in this two & a half hour thrill ride. Will there be any tales to be recounted by the History Man?
Alien gives it 3½ “maggots & peaches” stars out of 4.
