Mind-blowing. Almost every part of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is intense and mind-blowing. It’s a wild ride that never stops. What I liked most is how director George Miller knows his audience so well at this point that we simply blend into the film.

In 2011, we met an ape named Caesar, played by Andy Serkis, in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” Then came “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and “War for the Planet of the Apes.” You don’t need to see the three films surrounding Caesar’s life, but it helps.

The “Sunset” in the title refers to the sunset of their race. Watching this makes you come to the stunning realization that all beasts have been where the Sasquatch is, including us.

The film’s first scene shows us an older Kong running through the lands he now occupies. This is to the song “Welcome to My World” by Elvis. It’s quite the opening scene.
The movie begins with a Robert Frost poem which sets the tone. Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice Is also great.
We’re then in 1904, watching firemen race to a building where there is no fire… only ice.
