That said, I still do not think it was as good asMad Max: Fury Road.

After an unforgettable 2023 when it comes to movies, how has 2024 stacked up?

Admittedly, it is difficult to outline exactly why I preferredMad Max: Fury RoadoverFuriosa.

I’m not even sure we’ll be doing it.

For one,Mad Max: Fury Roaddoes not inherently tease a sequel story.

A prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa is an action-adventure film that tells the origin story of the headstrong and fearless Furiosa. Set shortly after the beginning of the “end of the world,” Furiosa is kidnapped and brought before a powerful warlord, now forced to work for him. To find her way back home, Furiosa will adapt to the new harsh and arid world as she grows into the Furiosa she becomes known to be.
