While Fury Road is more of a mindless action with little story Furiosa is the opposite. It expanded and built on the world that was shown in Fury Road.

You got to see the settlements, backstory on how she lost her arm, her face paint, her sniper skills. The movie is just perfect. There were also some amazing action sequences. The war rig and later the fight at the bullet farm.

The only moment where it was kind of slow was when Furiosa confronted Dementus 1 on 1 at the end.

While the movie was not an explosion of non stop action it was superior as a story and more balanced overall.

Definitely worth the watch, did not regret seeing it at the cinema.

Another proof that trusting IMDB ratings can be a very inconsistent deal.

This episode depicts a very specific horror of obeying norms in society and being brainwashed by tv, commercials and expectations due to the strong desire to fit in a group.

The main character who's completely insecure in her looks destroys her quiet unique life and healthy relationship with a husband who loves and accepts her as she is and supports all her strangeness and uniqueness, just to feel pretty and fit in.

As someone who has been an outsider all my life and also a woman I can understand the desire to fit in but I also understand that at the end of the day you go back home and you're left with yourself. Which I guess is what the final close up is about at the end of the episode.

She accomplishes her goal but at the same time she realizes it's meaninglessness and superficialness but she realizes there's no way back to how it was either.

The way the episode was shot with the close up crazy faces also amplified the unsettling feeling of people who feel like empty shells rather than actual humans with personalities. It was a perfect filming technique to use for this episode.

This movies is made from the people who did John Wick 1 and to be honest it is better than John Wick 1. That one long bloody action scene was amazing and very realistic.I love the focus on hand combat. There is some shooting but not too much for it to get boring. The cinematography is consistently beautiful across the whole movie. This is a John Wick 2 level of cool and a very good female lead.
