Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga (2024) movie review

 PLOT 

As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.

REVIEW 

The world-building in "Furiosa" is truly exceptional. Civilization as we know it has crumbled, leaving behind a post-apocalyptic, lawless wasteland where survival is brutal and savage. The wasteland is predominantly desert and rocky mountains, with food, water, and fuel becoming sacred resources fiercely contested by various clans. This harsh environment demands a ruthless approach to survival. The film does not explain the origin of the wasteland but focuses on the desolate and hostile setting. Director George Miller's vision and cinematography enhance the sense of isolation and hostility, immersing viewers in this bleak world.

Serving as a prequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015), the film is packed with non-stop action sequences. It's brutal, violent, and immensely satisfying to watch. The storyline is fast-paced, straightforward, and engaging, featuring intense car chases and epic battles. While some may criticize the heavy use of CGI and somewhat video game-like action sequences, the action is undeniably thrilling.

 Chris Hemsworth shines as the twisted and ruthless villain named Dementus. The story centers around Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, who brilliantly captures Furiosa's raw instinct for survival and determination to return home. The film explores Furiosa's backstory and early life, showcasing her struggle to survive in the wasteland. Both Hemsworth and Taylor-Joy deliver outstanding performances, and the characters' designs are unique and memorable. Despite the relentless action and cruelty of the wasteland, the film weaves in a poignant story about Furiosa.

"Furiosa: Mad Max Saga" is a powerful female-led hero's journey, featuring epic and satisfying action while capturing the harshness of life in the wasteland.

Borderlands (2024) : A wasted Opportunity  IMdb - 4.3 Rotten Tomatoes (Critics) - 9% | (Audience) - 52% Genre - Action, Sci-Fi Runtime - 1 hour 40 minutes  Rating - PG 13 Review There are some great video game adaptations like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout", and then there are bad ones like "Borderlands" The story follows a rich man named Atlas who hires Lilith, played by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, to find his missing daughter on the chaotic and lawless planet Pandora, which is also Lilith's home. I liked Lilith's character—she's strong, fearless, and a total badass. During her mission, Lilith meets Roland, played by Kevin Hart, a soldier who was the first to find the missing daughter, Tina. Roland rescues Tina from a prison and escapes with her to Pandora. Tina also meets a new friend named Krieg, who is big, muscular, and wears a mask. He instantly becomes her protector, but there’s no real explanation for why. Lilith also encounters a robo...

Civil War (2024) Movie Review

  Plot The story is set in a dystopian near-future America in a civil war. A team of military-embedded journalists traveling from New York to Washington, D.C to interview the President before rebel factions attack the White House. Review   The movie does not provide a clear explanation of how and why the war started. All we know is in the distant future, some Western forces are trying to kill the president. So, people looking for political reasons might not be satisfied. As four journalists journey across the country to interview the president, they encounter a lawless, apocalyptic world divided by small armed groups due to the civil war. It is on the road trip that the film successfully shows us the war's impact on civilians and the harsh realities of life in a fragmented America as realistically as possible. The film also successfully shows us the terror and sacrifices journalists endure to get their stories. It showcases the dangers of their profession, especially during wa...
