FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA 

                             This movie is directed by George Miller and script written and adapted respectively by George Miller and Nick Lathouris. Also, this movie stars Anya Taylor Joy as the adult protagonist: Furiosa, meanwhile Alyla Browne as the young version of the protagonist. It also stars Chris Hemsworth as the villain Dementus and the antagonist Immortan Joe portrayed by the eternal Lachy Hulme, that made this villain of the villains set up to light with what a real villain could ever be by - as such as in the main saga of - Mad Max: fury road. The coprotagonist is played out by Tom Burke. And likewise, as you just have realised, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga it is then, a prequel. 

                              Don’t get hasty to judge this prequel story as a cannot be of importance type to make it up for a great movie, for it does it well actually. And not that it had to be done under the mentality that one has to necessarily compete a film against the other just to be checking if the franchise could be continued or not. Having said so, I get this through for you, a very well-done prequel is made under the supposition of getting the main characters of the main saga with a stronger story foundation to even reach out further complexities that are to be later on in continuing movies of the main saga. So, don’t get me wrong, this job has just been done. It isn’t of a story of brilliance taken out of emeralds as that of the Mad Max: Fury Road, but it delivers a positive background very connected to that of the present Furiosa we know. The beginnings of her traumas are shown down in plenty of details on a good escalation of dramas put down on pure vilifying acts from an insane egocentric evil person that does anything to build his own glory. Until the explosive actions that then finally come to life, like as the Niagara Falls, when the real issue between Immortan Joe and Dementus comes to no more plausible deals, our Furiosa is starting to put up her built up mentality on which she proves herself - even before to anyone else - that she has to excel anything and everyone in everywhere for whatever reason at any whatsoever kind of mission to stay out of the hands of people that had been so mean to her or intending so: like Dementus and Rictus Erectus (Nathan Jones) respectively. 

                           So, she hides out first to be no more as predicted to be, a future sexual slave prize. Then, she had secretly to be just another “truck boy war” that nobody knows, until cards are presented to her throughout that show down moment of war missions eviscerated on the now gang titan Dementus against the so ever war lord and fierce commander: Immortan Joe. From that moment on we check out what the Furiosa is made of, despite we had no appropriate insights on how she got so of a capable soldier in those years of hiding at the ranks of Immortan Joe after she had been traded out on a deal of him (Immortan Joe) accepted by the very Dementus. And as such, we all get to know at this exemplary moment (that she had been waiting for) why her career has just begun exactly when her time finally came up, and why, this beginning mission of hers is getting by all means a prelude of an eager Furiosa that hasn’t lost her drop of hope on saving good people to the secret paradise that is a seed (which suddenly turns itself into a rainforest) on her possession yet to be planted somewhere safe of these all desert monsters. 

                          My admiration with no shortages goes to the picture editor of this film, also for the scene’s director, the makeup and costume designs, the filmmaker of the sets, the stunts choreographer and as well, the CGI graphic designers, and, but not for the least, the actors: Anya Taylor-Joy, Tom Burke and Chris Hemsworth. This movie doesn’t go hand to hand with the stunts choreography that made worldwide recognised the main saga of the Mad Max, I get you this in advance, but it tries to replace it with the good CGI on ongoing battles with so inventive machinery and, of course, with the most creative filming sets and scene editions for special chases and run outs at so many different times. Moreover, and to finish, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is beautifully sustained by so many glorious interpretations made out of so very few important script lines that these mentioned actors had to be holding up, so we the audience must not then forgive and forget this sacrifice put onto the film. 

So, for the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, I give it the score of 87 out of 100. 

For the Mad Max: Fury Road, I keep it to my original score of 96 out of 100.
