This movie is a mixed bag for me. The concept is original, but the story is somewhat predictable.
The environment the protagonist finds themselves in is creepy, as is the design of some creatures. However, the design of the most prominent creatures didn't quite work for me.
The overall score is well done, but some of the included songs break the atmosphere.
The protagonists are interesting but not fully fleshed out. Their chemistry works, yet the dialogue often feels superficial and occasionally cheesy.
Overall, I still enjoyed the movie, so I'm giving it a 7. However, with a few changes, it could have been much more.

Before heading to the cinema to watch Furiosa, I revisited Fury Road. Just as in 2015, I rated it a perfect 10.
Naturally, I had high hopes for its prequel, Furiosa.
These hopes were nearly fulfilled. The cinematography, with its rapid cuts that I loved in Fury Road, is brilliantly replicated in Furiosa. The production design, including the wildly creative vehicles, is just as impressive. The score is similarly outstanding, and the acting is top-notch, with notable performances by the talented child actor Alyla Browne, the furious Anya Taylor-Joy, and the wild Chris Hemsworth. Honestly, the CGI that some critics mentioned didn't bother me at all!
The only reason I'm giving Furiosa a 9 instead of a 10 is due to its story. It's darker and more brutal than Fury Road, which I enjoyed. However, it delves deeper into the world of Mad Max and spans across 15 years, unlike Fury Road, which focuses on one intense chase. I preferred the story of Fury Road because it offered fewer details about the world, making it feel more mysterious and immersive. The single, continuous chase made the narrative more dynamic and intense.
Nevertheless, I love Furiosa and will certainly watch it again. Hence, the excellent rating of 9.

To me, Civil War is easily one of the best war movies.
The movie gets darker, more intense, more terrifying from scene to scene. While we follow the protagonists on their road trip, we get closer and closer to the human abyss, to the horror of war. In this sense this movie reminds me very much of the great Apocalypse Now. Civil War is also a very special war movie as the movie is it not about a war that actually took place or is taking place but about a war in the near future which could take place. Furthermore, we do not follow soldiers as in so many of the war movies out there, but a group of war reporters. This gives the movie an additional layer and makes the neutral attitude of Civil War clear.
Also, the acting of the whole cast is fantastic, the sound design adds very well to the atmosphere of the movie and the production design let's you understand why this is A24's most expensive movie so far.
