Jacked In Reviews ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ (2024)
Before you can get comfy in your (IMAX, obviously) seat, George Miller quickly answers the question raised upon our first viewing of the movie’s trailer “Do you have it in you to make it epic?” with an abso-bloody-lutely. Within the first five minutes, gearheads flee from a “Green Place” and are being pursued by a horseback-riding (then dirtbike-driving), sharpshooting, badass of a mother with a missing kid and thirst for revenge. This is no ordinary helpless child who has been pinched though, she is resourceful and clearly takes after her mother. After all, this isn’t a Mad Max story, this is the story… of Furiosa.
