A classic movie, made on a low budget in Australia and that launched Mel Gibson and director George Miller to stardom. A real lesson on how to make a movie in the genre.
Many consider it the high point of the original Mad Max trilogy. In this movie, Director George Miller takes his vision of humanity's future, still haunted by the oil crisis, to the extreme.
The conclusion of the original Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson, unforgettable for its famous Thunderdome and the song "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner.
One of the best action movies of the 2010s, perhaps the best. After all, filmmaker George Miller returns to the franchise that put him in the spotlight of Hollywood to completely repaginate the production of the story. Out goes Mel Gibson and in comes Tom Hardy. In addition, he takes his foot off of exaggerated masculinity to bring on one of the most remarkable female characters in contemporary cinema with the figure of Furiosa (Charlize Theron). It's a tense and intense movie, which doesn't follow basic script standards, bringing action to the surface from the beginning of the film. Even if you're not a fan of action dystopias, it's hard not to get enthusiastic and excited about the feature.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a highly anticipated film since the powerful and almost unanimously praised Mad Max: Fury Road hit theaters. After all, even though it doesn’t directly continue what filmmaker George Miller showcased to the world in 2015, Furiosa explores the origin of his strongest character, who now gives the story its title—played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road and then by Anya Taylor-Joy in the prequel. Even though Miller's 2024 film doesn’t have the same strength, originality, and finesse as the 2015 movie, presenting a certain repetition of ideas and a script lost in a confusion of concepts, it’s hard not to be thrilled by Miller’s creative outburst, which expands and plays with the Mad Max universe since 1979. Worth noting, as in Fury Road, are the well-directed action scenes with choreography that will leave you staring at the screen in awe.
