"You may be raw but
you have a badge of purposeful savagery. You give me time, I'll
teach you everything you need to know about road war. If you
survive everything we take on together, you'll have all the
skills you'll need to get wherever you want to go. No questions
asked." – Praetorian Jack, to Furiosa
Why watch this?
Fury Road
was an impossible Max re-start. This is it's most compelling
character's origin story.
Plot Summary:
Young Furiosa is kidnapped by the Great Biker Horde, led by the
charismatic tyrant, Dementus, who forces her to watch her
mother's crucifixion. When Dementus learns of the Citadel, he
decided to attack the towering stronghold. It's leader, Immortan
Joe, and his army of white-skinned War Boys, defend the attack
while Furiosa escapes Dementus and joins Immortan's ranks. All
this happens before Taylor-Joy even comes on screen.
Dad's Preview:
In a
post-apocalyptic world of utter madness, George Miller once
again cobbles together some of the best storytelling on big
screens today. It's bombastic, heart-wrenching, and thoroughly
enjoyable to watch. Every scene is choreographed like the finest
Sydney Ballet, and the cinematography is breathtaking. It
delivers in every moment. Taylor-Joy fills the Furiosa role
nicely, but it is Hemsworth who stands out and more than gives
this wasteland saga the fun-filled, nasty villain that every
blockbuster needs.
