I also saw it today in IMAX. If Fury Road is an S ranking, Furiosa is an A-.
This is a lore/world building movie marketed as a Furiosa movie, much like how Mad Max was marketed as the star of Fury Road. That’s all I can say without spoiling, but those who understand know exactly what I’m comparing and why I am comparing them, because they know that both situations are similar.
This movie feels like it’s trying to blend the high octane nature of Fury Road with the slower story/lore/character moments of older Mad Max movies, and it does the job really well.
Everything else was a blast to watch. I walked out of the theater wanting much more from this insane world that George Miller created. I also am hoping there will be an extended edition/director’s cut due to moments that could have been expanded upon. It felt like he wanted to make a much longer movie and I would very much enjoy 2 more hours of this.

I only have 3 negatives:
-There were a bit too many fade to black moments between scenes.
-Some of the CG looked a bit spotty, especially the far away shots of people running or driving motorcycles. Hoping it’s worked on a bit more before home release.
-The 40 day war being summarized in the way that it was. I understand why, but it could have been done better. It almost killed the momentum of the multi-tiered plot and tension between factions.
