Furiosa

I am just going to say it. This movie was way better than Dune: Part 1. It was what Dune should have been. George Miller has been able to revisit a classic 80's movie as source material and create a a cohesive yet entirely unique, stand alone movie. It was glorious all around: acting, cinematography, script, costume, location, etc. Because of the dessert, sci-fi, and action fighting; it is hard not to compare the two. Where Dune was all pretension, this was all thriller and no filler.

The movie is 2hrs of monster trucks and shocking action. None of it seems gratuitous. It tells you how insane the situation and the world is. Like some caustic rot, all humanity and goodness is stripped from people; each trying to protect what little they have. There are no heroes. There are no refugees. And in terms of staying human, it doesn't look like there are any survivors. The movie is beautiful to watch, from settings to camera work to even the action choreography.
