Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga opened on Thursday. Lucky I had a day off Friday, so I could head to one of Sydney's busiest suburbs, Burwood to catch the post-apocalyptic action adventure film.
This is the fifth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, serving as both a spin-off and prequel to 2015 film, Mad Max: Fury Road.
Focusing on the character Imperator Furiosa, (portrayed by Charlize Theron in the 2015 film), now played by Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne as younger versions of Furiosa.
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Lachy Hulme, John Howard (not that Australian tracksuit wearing little Johnny), Angus Sampson, Charlee Fraser, alongside piles of talented extras and stunt folks.
Principal photography took place in Australia from in 2022. The film received highly positive reviews, with critics praising Miller's direction, screenplay, action sequences, musical score, cinematography, and the performances of the cast (particularly Taylor-Joy, Hemsworth, and Browne).
First up though, this film is long. You all know my thoughts on long films!
However the action sequences are wild, eye catching, large in scale, the kind of sequences that must be seen on the big screen. Hemsworth playing a villain was wild. He seemed to have so much fun in this role.
Not to mention how fit as hell he is.
