There comes a
point where you know a franchise has had its days in the sun and George Miller
has milked this franchise. Mad Max has had its days in the sun, and I did not
find this film as engaging as Mad Max: Fury Road. The film was draining,
and the story danced around the fire for so long, that at times I stood up and stretched
so that I could be awake to see it through to the end. The film had some no need for these scenes, and it was at times boring. The acting was good though from the leads, but the effects were poor in some scenes. Then the makeup done on Chris Hemsworth was not
a good job. I could tell he had a fake nose.
The film is not
bad as far as the action scene goes, the effects could have been better like what we saw in Mad Max: Fury Road.
My question
remains, why do we have to sit for so long before the plot links the warlords
to a point when they will decide to put an end to Dementus?
This film is a
prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, we get to see how Furiosa got to be in
the Citadel with Immortan Joe, and why she hated the idea of him and all that
he stands for.
It starts with
Furiosa as a child when she was captured by Dementus’ men from where she was
staying, a place green and nothing like the surrounding wasteland. Her mother
came after her to save her (killing everyone, but one who was responsible for
the capture of her child). The last one died thanks to Furiosa. Furiosa mother
too was later captured by Dementus men. Furiosa watched her mother being killed
in front of her, because they both refuse to tell Dementus where they came from,
to protect their home from being raided and the people killed.
Dementus was an
insane warlord who heads a gang called Biker Horde. He adopts the unwilling
Furiosa hoping she will later reveal where she came from, but she remains quiet.
Later, Dementus
decides to attack another settlement, the Citadel. This attack did not go well
in his favour, he then captures a town which supplies the Citadel with gas,
making Immortan Joe and him come to the table for peace talks. Here is where
Furiosa was handed over to the Citadel.
How she lost her
hand, how she escaped and became torn in the flesh for Dementus to get her
revenge, well the film is over two hours long for you to watch and find out.
