Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: A tale of two or rather three Furiosa's; Anya Taylor-Joy doesn't appear until past the half way mark in the film. The young Furiosa (Alyla Browne) lives in the Mothers' Place an oasis amidst the desert. She is kidnapped by raiders as she attempts to sabotage their bikes. Her mother Mary (Charlee Fraser) sets off in pursuit, not just to free Furiosa, but to keep the location of their haven secret. She shoots some of the bikers but one reaches the biker horde camp and is presented to Lord Dementus (Chris Helmsworth) leader of the pack. Mary's rescue attempts fail and Furiosa is brought along by Dementus on his raids, eventually ending up as one Immortal Joe's future brides as a trade. It would be a spoiler to reveal how she got out of this or any of her other adventures. Suffice to say that the Teen Furiosa (an AI process was used to blend the features of Browne and Raylor-Joy) ends up on a war rig with Praetorian Jack (Tom Burke), rising through the ranks we finally encounter Taylor-Joy as Furiosa just in time for a war between the desert rulers. Great scenes of the the biker horde, in ways resembling The Golden Horde in their sheer numbers. In a nod to the MCU, Dementius wearing a cloak rides in a chariot pulled by motorbikes whilst one of his sidekicks is dressed like Loki,.Some really gory scenes as captured warriors are made to fight to the death for limited places in the horde. Some of the torture scenes are OTT but more is implied than actually shown. The battle scenes surpass those of Fury Road, with improved aerial action and even more impressive hand to hand fighting and duels on the war rigs. We get underground cannibals and Dementius has a taste for human blood sausage. Great performance from Browne and Taylor-Joy who have few lines and their expressions, gestures and actions are all important. Helmsworth is impressive in a crazy kike a fox manner along with George Shevtsov as The History Man who is effectively Dementius' Merlin. A triumphant prequel to Fury Road. Directed, co-written, and co-produced by George Miller. 8.5/10.
