While the trilogy retains its timeless charm, George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is every bit as good as Mad Max: Fury Road, delivering a visually stunning, action-packed prequel. Miller oils up the fan service with a few nods and callbacks. Both Nick Lathouris and Miller's story meets expectations while avoiding tropes (especially in the third act) and lays down some new road.
The supporting and main cast are fantastic. Anya Taylor-Joy is mesmerizing as Furiosa, bringing depth to the character and expanding her backstory. The return of familiar faces like Immortan Joe ties the film seamlessly to the Mad Max universe. Chris Hemsworth is in fine form, flexing his acting abilities with a big-screen transformation as Dementus. Notable is Tom Burke as Jack, who delivers a vibe reminiscent of both Hardy's and Gibson's portrayals of Max.
Miller's direction brings the post-apocalyptic world to life with stunning visuals, high production values, sound design, and imaginative action sequences, though there's more obvious CGI used here than in Fury Road. Nevertheless, Tom Holkenborg's powerful score heightens the tension and excitement, pulling you deeper into the chaotic world.
Overall, with its thrilling action, captivating performances, and immersive world-building, Miller delivers a powerful new chapter in the saga.
