This movie feels like borderlands the action movie.

too bad no D-box here

Right, so it's a little obvious y'all don't have very much concept of what constitutes as the story here. Hollywood has your brains drained.

The story was nonverbal for a lot of it. This is the way action movies were MEANT to be. And the characters didn't sit around regurgitating the plot in clever little quips and one-liners. From the enthusiastic and fanatical Nux, who wants nothing more than to die for his savior, to the old woman who wants to replant the world, there's a little bit of story everywhere.

Take for instance, the beginning when Furiosa first takes her detour. She doesn't tell anyone. She doesn't say anything. "Detour" is all she says. Everyone is confused. They question her. But she's the boss. Yet, you CAN see it in her eyes. She keeps them forward. "Detour" she lies.

And yet, somehow, they enemies are organic. They're mindless drones. They cheer each other on to their deaths. One asks Furiosa, "What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" as the entire army chases after her.

And the metaphors. I mean. Did no one pick up on them? We have Religion. Immortan Joe and his fanatical followers. Giving young, aimless men a cause to die for. A place eternal in Valhalla. We have Green, the fat and gout-ridden oil lord of Gas Town. And then War, the blinded leader of the Bullet Farm at one point even screaming I AM JUSTICE as he shoots blindly into the night.

And then Nux's slow loss of faith and realization of the destruction of his life how he knows it. The slow bond and trust between Mad Max and Furiosa. Enemies, Reluctant Allies, then Comrades. All spelled out in a way that's neither condescending or cheesy.


There was a story all right. LOTS of story.


Y'all just missed it cause it wasn't spoonfed to you through incessant, forced scenes of dialogue, action one-liners, and dragged out standoffs. This is THE ULTIMATE action movie everyone has ever wanted. Main characters that shut up, do their part, while the story unfolds in the frenetic action before them. It's a game changer.

If it's still above you, don't worry. Marvel or DC will push out a pretty little pg-13 action movie for you, complete with funny lines and long scenes of dialogue contrived best they can to spell every damn thing out for you so that way, god forbid, you actually have to THINK for once in your movie going life.

It’s been five years since Mad Max: Fury Road exploded at the box office and Oscars. After years of development and legal issues in the way of a spin-off focused on Charlize Theron’s Furiosa, it appears progress may finally be underway as director George Miller is reportedly eyeing Anya Taylor-Joy (The New Mutants) for a role in the film, according to Variety.

With many studios struggling with development and release slates due to the global coronavirus pandemic, most executives and filmmakers are reportedly not expecting things to get back to normal for several weeks, but some are taking video and phone meetings in the hopes of greenlighting new projects in the next 12 months. Miller is one of those directors meeting with stars, namely Taylor-Joy, for his long-awaited Furiosa spin-off, which he hopes to enter production on next year, taking auditions via Skype and phone calls.
