While I think Fury Road does look better (due to its less CGI visuals), I think I prefer Furiosa. It is much more brutal AND vengeful than the first to be honest.
Furiosa is pretty much an origin film of the titular Furiosa from the movie Fury Road. Here we see where she came from and how she became the person she was in the aforementioned film.
It really rallies a story of grief and survival. Every single time we see her brutalized, trivialized and be left on her own whim AND she in someway just survives. It tackles a very sensitive topic towards the end in such a rich way that I think Fury Road lacks. That key scene really pushes this film to masterpiece status to be honest.
Performance wise, Anna Taylor Joy (and her Child Actor counterpart, Alyla Browne) is more of trauma dump character. She is her knowing of her role AND it shows. She barely talks and mostly has glares in the film AND it really amps the end when she goes out and fully expresses her own. On a more showier note, Chris Hemsworth as the Nomad King Bandit, is such a great performance. He tends to better in comedy AND this funny yet brutal character really plays to his strength.
Also, I would commend the pace of the film. This is much complex than Fury Road but it was able to really truncate the lengthy runtime and its context-full story into a knit package. There was never really a moment when it felt that it was lagging. Though watching the first one does improve the experience a lot. My parents where a bit lost with a lot of the zip zapping stories in the film.
This is a great film. Highly Recommended.
PS: The only thing that bugs about this film's plot is that no one uses those flying machine to look out which way is the 'land' lol.
