Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (4KUHD + Digital)

One of the most crazy movies about life after the Apocalypse, but you gotta see both of the movies! Guns, knives, babes, hot rods, who could ask for more???

The picture on this 4K Blu-ray is reference quality, like Fury Road, but the Atmos audio mix is even better. Furiosa takes a creatively different road than the previous Max films by turning up the story, focusing more on plot and characters instead of simply outdoing the previous film's action (although the action is as excellent as always, even if there's a little less of it). Hemsworth was fantastic, just wonderful, and Anya Taylor Joy does a splendid job as the title character. I know SOME will dislike the greater focus on story than action, but I found it a refreshing change and really enjoyed the movie. I recommend it very highly.

I absolutely loved this movie when I saw it in the theater, so it was a must-own when it became available on physical disc. It's extremely well acted, directed, and written with epic setpieces and action spectacles. If you enjoyed Fury Road, chances are that you'll really enjoy this one, too. The 4K release looks and sounds incredible. Very highly recommended!

...with more pertinent action sequences than the non-stop chase sequence in Fury Road. OK, let's get one thing straight right out of the door here. I'm a child of the 70s and 80s so the nuclear Post Apocalyptic genre has been in my zeitgeist for most of my life. I was first introduced to it with Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985, followed by seeing Road Warrior a little later on. And then several B-movies that piggyback off the Mad Max craze such as Patrick Swayzee's "Steel Dawn" and a few others. The one thing that always seemed to lack in these films is the World Building in favor of action sequences. In 2015 we got a new entry in the Mad Max world with Fury Road. Which revitalized the franchise to a new degree to where it helped bring attention to the Wasteland Weekend gathering out in California (similar to Burning Man in a way). But like I said Fury Road thrusted us into a "new" tangent of the Mad Max world without really explaining where we are or what's going on. We just barely learned about the Citadel (Immorten Joe's place), the Green Place (Furiosa's former home) and then just in mention Bullet Farm (where ammunition is made) and Gas Town (where gasoline is made). We don't really get an idea what significance these places are other than what their obvious namesake suggests. But in Furiosa here, we finally get all the backstory and world building that was missing from Fury Road. We go to Gas Town (which turns out to be a huge Refinery turned into a Fortress of somesort...think the Gas settlement in Road Warrior times 100.) I think this is where The People Eater is from. And we also go to Bullet Farm which is a concentric circle pit mine where they must mine the lead and/or brass for the ammunition they make. Aside from these locations, we see a lot of returning characters from Fury Road and we get to see some of their backstory. Which makes their roles in Fury Road that much more interesting now. Oh, I should d add here that the script or at least the story outline for Furiosa was written BEFORE Fury Road was made. Because George Miller kinda had to come up with the backstory this new chapter in his Mad Max saga before he made Fury Road. After seeing Furiosa, I kinda wished he would have made this movie first before Fury Road, but I can understand why he didn't because marketing a Mad Max movie to global audiences without Max in it wouldn't have worked. Which is why Furiosa didn't do too well at the Box Office. But forget about that, I have a feeling that it will gain a cult following now that it's available on home media. In fact, you could almost look at both of these films are one long 4½ hour movie, as Furiosa is split into 4 or 5 Chapters, each with a bit of a time jump, and so you could go from where we ended this film right into Fury Road as just another time jump and new chapter just entitled "Fury Road". Now then, how's the 4K Blu-ray? Gotta go with a 5/5. Reference Quality PQ and AQ. I haven't seen a cheaner or sharper 4K presentation yet. Looks almost too clean if you know what I mean. In comparison, Fury Road has a higher grain structure in its presentation. Furiosa looks very digital if you know what I mean. But they actually filmed some of it at the exact place in Australia they filmed parts of Road Warrior.

Excellent

Surprised how great this was. There are a few strongholds left in the future ran by three crazy warlords. A group of women run one with great food and such. A very young girl gets caught kidknapped getting an apple by a biker crazed group. Her mom tries to rescue her killing a lot before she gets caught and killed. They keep the girl for a slave. Over the years she never says a word but becomes an incredible warrior. LOTS of crazy car chases and fights. She gets her revenge in an amazing way.

This classic movie has a fantastic plot, and the 4K Blu-ray is superb. The picture quality is sharp, and with Dolby Vision, the lighting and color tones are top-notch.

Furiosa Looks Great in 4K HDR. So Crisp and detailed with excellent color balance. Furiosa is demo worthy. Furiosa has an excellent ATMOS sound track as well. I saw Furiosa in AMC-IMAX theaters and I can safely say, the Furiosa 4K looks sharper and more detailed than my AMC-IMAXC experience. Furiosa is a prequal to Fury Road. One should consider Furiosa to be acts 1 & 2 and then Fury Road is act 3. Furiosa is longer and more story-rich. Its highly recommended to watch Furiosa 1st then right after pop in Fury Road for the conclusion of this huge saga. Furiosa should be watched in 4K if possible. Fury Road should be the 3D Blu-ray if possible. The 3D BD of Fury Road looks far better than the standard Blu-ray . If 3D is not possible, the 4K Fury Road is the next best option. But use what you have to watch them in the correct order. Furiosa ends where Fury Road starts so watching them back to back is the best way to enjoy this pair of films. ==================== Technical Specs: Single-Disc UHD Edition, UHD-100 Triple-Layer Disc Video Resolution/Codec: 2160p HEVC/H.265, Dolby Vision HDR, HDR10 Length: 147 Aspect Ratio: 2.39:1 Audio Formats: English Dolby Atmos, English Dolby TrueHD 7.1, Italian Dolby Atmos, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1
