REVIEW: This Mad Max film is a prequel that tells the story of the making of Furiosa. This is not a name given by Joe at Citadel but by her parents who lived in an oasis. Right from the first frame, the entire film is an action-packed thriller and has the viewer gasp for a moment of peace. All the characters are nicely presented, though none of them looks normal.

The film has very few main characters but all of them fill the screen with their best performances. But the one that stands out is not Furiosa, rather it’s a character named Dementus. It's his doing to which she owes all the FURY.

Sandwiched in the war between Dementus & Joe, Furiosa is focused on her goal right from her childhood. The bikes, trucks, car and artillery are awesome and the fight sequences amaze the audience. There are a few wow moments that make the film worth remembering. Furiosa’s presence of mind and clever acts stand out whereas Hemsworth has a great screen presence as Dementus. This film links to Mad Max: Fury Road with the connection presented as a quick show during the climax.

The background music is good and the wasteland looks really scary with the battle scenes.

Overall, a great big-screen experience!

Enjoy!
