Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (4K Ultra HD + Digital)

Excelente pelicula, cuenta con doblaje al español latino y los extras están subtitulados, que no engañe la contraportada aunque parecen pocos extras, uno de ellos dura casi una hora siendo un documental de la realización de la pelicula

Excellent movie if you like the series absolute great sound if you have a nice surround sound system best sounding movie I’ve ever heard of you like a lot of bass with explosions and gunfire 10 out of 10!!!

...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.

It was something to watch, it wasn't bad

Must see again

Director George Miller fell short with this "prequel". Set between the last _real_ Mad Max film "Thunderdome" and the Furiosa spinoff "Fury Road". In my opinion, "Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga" makes zero contributions to the Mad Max mythos. I honestly do not know why Miller would choose to make this pointless prequel and not an actual sequel to the blockbuster "Fury Road".Just in case you missed that (and are still reading) this entire movie is just a Furiosa origin story prequel to 2015's "Fury Road". Mad Max only makes a single (silent) cameo that you can miss if you blink your eyes. A supporting character named Praetorian Jack is a Mad Max archetype, down to the leather jacket and a couple of blatant camera shots cribbed straight out of Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior).George Miller's patented eye zoom shots are grossly over used in this film. The special effects were poor compared to "Fury Road", often appearing to be cgi, or ai "enhanced". The acting was not impressive outside of Tom Burke. Chris Hemsworth's character (and the Furiosa story arc) is a cartoonish version of Thulsa Doom from 1982's Conan The Barbarian. The runtime of 148 minutes is about 30 minutes too long for the script.Normally, even after many viewings, the Mad Max films (and the Fury Road reboot) keep my attention throughout their run time, but "Furiosa" had me pausing and resuming ... like, a lot. Your mileage may vary, but if you it's offered as part of your streaming channel, it's worth a watch. 2.5 out of 5 Stars.

Loved it.

Like the movie. Good tie in to Fury Road. Hemsworth was a little annoying but tolerable to the story. Good sets and of course, the action scenes were breathtaking.
