Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Movie Review, Storyline and More
Table of Contents
Storyline
At the end of the film, Furiosa and Dementus finally reunite. We see her anger and desperation of wanting her family (mom) back. We also discover that Dementus has a family too which was interesting to see for a villain arc. The ending was perfect, he died nice and slowly, starving to death under a tree. That was what Furiosa wanted.
We also get to see the political side of things, like the poor and Immortal Joe towering over them, like in Fury Road. When Dementus confronted Immortal Joe, that was such a treat to see. To see the difference and the clashing personalities between the two of them, and of course, young Furiosa when finally confessed that Dementus was not her father with such confidence was so satisfying.
So many new and bizzare characters introduced. We get to see Immortal Joe’s companions with the most out of pocket costumes.
Some of the critics thought that seeing a lot of young Furiosa would draw you out, but it doesn’t. This little girl was such an amazing actress and you could see the growth and pain. It made me a bit emotional when she had to watch her mom get tortured to death. It was so raw and real.
Another thing that was really painful to watch was another person she loved died in front of her eyes. Praetorian Jack and Furiosa had such a connection. It was not a friendship, but almost a partnership. They would risk their lives for each other. That is hundred percent love. Like when Jack almost died at the Bullet Farm in the truck. He did tell Furiosa to get in the car and escape, but instead, she saved him.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Movie Review
This is one of the best movies I have watched in the cinema thus far in 2024. The storyline wasn’t anything groundbreaking as far as Hollywood movie plots go but suffice to say it managed to keep my attention throughout the show. The key highlights here were truly the almost unending vehicle chase scenes with intense action fights. Despite they were aplenty of such in the movie, I never felt that it was too much.Hats off to the efforts here to make all those action scenes so powerful yet almost seamlessly done. There were also no shortage of good acting talents here.
Chris Hemsworth delivered a notable character. A role who is supposed to be utterly ruthless yet exhibits a childish behavior. Kudos to him for dialing in the right amount of psycho and looneyness without coming on as a try too hard yet forgetable role. The next is of course Anya with her intense and fiery portrayal of the leading lady character. Her character needs no many outstanding lines but her actions themselves speak loud volumes.
While the story wasn’t exactly anything fresh, I love how each chapter and scene flow almost naturally without me feeling like they had to rush or leaving the audiences scattered in places. The overall color tones were also beautifully shot to depict the hot and barren post apocalyptic world the characters inhibit. By now you should have realised that I was pleased with the movie and I would certainly recommend that you give it a watch.
Lets talk about the action
Like it was chef’s kiss. The stunts, the choreography, and the uniqueness of it as a whole was just whimsical and fantastical. There were some close up shots which made it fast pace and also a bit quirky which matched the style of the film (LOVED THE USE OF SPED UP MOVEMENT AGAIN) And of course, the cinematography, wow. The endless blanket of the wasteland and the colour palettes were so enhanced and immersive.
I would ramble on forever about this film, but I can’t write that much.
THIS FILM DESERVES A FREAKING OSCAR. 5/5!
