Furry Osha

No, I didn't see it in the theaters, but it already has come out on VOD!

There was one overriding motive for Furiosa in the previous movie, and here we find out how that all started. And it's a long road (sic) to get from here to there. We see the five stages of grief (probably, I'm sure someone made that analogy), as young CGI Anya Taylor-Joy goes into non-CGI Anya Taylor-Joy... and it's a story of killing one man because of a life she made.

And yes, let's be honest, this looks fantastic! George Miller knows what he is doing, of course, so it's all very stunning to look at. Although... *looks around warily* the story is a bit on the basic side. Not that this needs to be Shakespeare, but we get the basic idea, and that's all there is.

ATJ is ... I'm just going to go with fine. She sits, and stares, and that's about the extent of it. Chris Hemsworth is having fun. Tom Burke is decent, but rather one-note.

Overall.. yeah, it's fine. People have already raved enough about this, and more will. But... to me, it's just fine.
