I was really surprised how much I liked Furiosa. I haven’t seen a lot of new stuff in the theater this year, but this surpassed my expectations, which admittedly were pretty low.
Have you seen the movie?
Surprisingly, I loved it.
Yes, watch this on the big screen. Great movie. Those big V-8 engines just sound so good in Dolby Atmos. The theater was rock’n at certain points that the HVAC system was rattling. Made for an immersive experience.
I wasn’t very interested in seeing this. But it’s one of those movies where I’m glad I was proven wrong.
Same, 9/10. Nothing compares to seeing The Road Warrior as a kid in the 80’s with the cloud of nuclear war hanging over you, but Furiosa had some great moments that included that sense of dread of losing something you love (i.e. home). Also, the character of Praetorian Jack just might be my new favorite character (besides The Feral Kid) in the Mad Max world. He presented something rarely found in the wasteland.
I saw it with a buddy last night. I grew up watching the original Mad Max movies, with The Road Warrior being my favorite. Maybe it was because I had low expectations and really didn't have much interest in what felt like an unnecessary tangent to the Mad Max "universe", but I have to admit, there were some really great moments throughout this one that elevated my experience. I especially enjoyed a new character they introduced about mid-way through who brought a new aspect to these films, which for me, made this one my second favorite Mad Max movie. For what it's worth, I also think the storyline in Furiosa is probably the most fleshed out of all five movies.
I don't expect everyone to agree with this, but it's rare that movie franchises are able to maintain the same level of quality and entertainment value after the first or second film (i.e. Alien/Aliens, Die Hard, etc.), but so far, this one's been different, and I credit George Miller with that.
This stood out to me as well. The pacing was all over the place, and those long pauses and lingering shots negatively impacted the viewing experience.
