Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Heh heh.

There’s a lot of awesome shots here, but the movie also looks just really weird.

Like… it’s been overly smoothed or something? I’ve watching the 4K bluray, and it’s just odd-looking.

Heh heh.

Heh.

Oh, it’s Thor!

I’m 40 minutes in, and I’m really bored. And there’s almos two hours to go? Oh deer.

The digital compositing is really bad — perhaps that’s what makes so many scenes look so awkward?

Yeah, nobody would ever guess that that’s a girl!

This movie, so far, would have been better as a two paragraph Wikipedia recap. That’s what it feels like watching this — somebody making a movie from a recap.

OK, that’s good stunt…

But then the next shot, they have the worst digital explosion ever. It’s just… eh.

That’s an oddly CGI-looking crane thing.

OMG! SHE”S A GIRL WITH GIRLY HAIR

*sigh*

But it was a fun action scene.

This should have had a Charli XCX soundtrack.

The charm of Fury Road was how real much of it looked (because quite a lot was real). This does not have that feel at all. Which makes me wonder abour the budget.

Oh man. I didn’t know that this bombed. Anyway, the Fury Road budget was:

So this had a larger budget than Fury Road, but looks so much worse. Some of the scenes here are just cringe-worthy — they’ve composited Thor into a car and do digital zooms to emulate him driving towards the camera and stuff.

There are entertaining scenes in here, but this is barely a movie. I was bored witless most of the time. And I was disappointed that it looked this bad.

Furiosa. George Miller. 2024.
