Welcome to the best action movie you will see this year. If you are already a fan of George Miller's Mad Max universe, I'm sure you will be delighted (I am and I was). This is the story of Furiosa, a child stolen from her mother and idyllic post apocalyptic community and raised by overlords Dr. Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) and then Immortan Joe. This is a long, stretched-out (2.5 hours) revenge film and it's packed with modified supercharged eighteen-wheelers, Roman chariot motorcycles, skull-helmet wearing bike riders, who engage in epic warfare all while charging down the Fury Road at top speed. It's a dust, gasoline, and bullet ballet of nonstop action and violence and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's ludicrous and at times outright laughable but this is the mad world Miller has created for us and I'm still in love with it ever since hockey-masked Lord Humungus breathed into his 1981 microphone, "Just walk away," ("The Road Warrior.") Anya Taylor-Joy plays grownup Furiosa and Miss Taylor-Joy is a delight: She proverbially kicks ass. Catch "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" on the biggest, loudest screen possible - in theatres now.
