I will (a) watch the original and this prequel again soon and (b) name a lot of things “Furiosa” (starting with the tillandsia I’m going to get this weekend).
A mad ride like the first one and I’m amazed again by how they managed to arrest my attention for 2.5 hours. Watched on the big screen with MM. They played vignettes of the first movie during the credits and I told him that the mobile wall of speakers and the guitar guy were Top 5 Maddest Things I’ve seen on a big screen, and I watch a lot of old-school, popular Indian cinema.
They aged Anya Taylor-Joy using AI and it was rather magical1. Chris Hemsworth has fantastic comedic timing. Rictus and Scrotus somehow reminded me of Tweedledee and Tweedledum:
Somehow reminded me of how bad the reverse/de-aging was in The Irishman and how far we’ve come.↩︎
