“Promise me you’ll find your way home…”
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a post-apocalyptic action film in the Mad Max franchise. It is a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. Furiosa released on May 24th 2024. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, and Charlee Fraser. It runs for two hours and twenty-eight minutes.
After being abducted as a child by a warlord named Dementus, Furiosa finds herself caught up in a never-ending battle as she tries to find her way home while seeking revenge on the person who took everything from her.
Here is the trailer:
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga gives us a layered prequel filled with plenty of fantastic moments, along with some gorgeous cinematography and two top-notch performances. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Anya Taylor-Joy is perfection!
She never disappoints and she exceeded my expectations in this film. She was so captivating to watch. The actress who played the young Furiosa did a great job as well and I thought that Chris Hemsworth transformed himself into an almost unrecognizable villain, making him a worthy foe.
Seamless balance of story-telling and action!
I thought this was executed exceptionally well. The story was so interesting and it really built so many important and necessary layers for Furiosa, which made this a satisfying prequel. The cinematography complimented the overall vibe so well and I felt like I was transported to another place and time.
Plus, we got plenty of action to keep up with Fury Road.
The Cons:
On the longer side…
I really don’t have many cons for this film. I’m not a fan of movies that run over two hours, but everything in this one needed to be fleshed out so I’m not really complaining here. The film still held my attention the entire time.
I wouldn’t say that this film was as good as Fury Road, but it definitely held its own.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!
Furiosa is a satisfying revenge prequel that is brilliantly executed on the big screen.
Anya Taylor-Joy delivers a powerful performance worth talking about!

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…
It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
