NOC Review: ‘Furiosa’ is a Fiercely Fun Fever Dream

May 17, 2024July 23, 2024 Mike Manalo

“What a lovely day!” With those words audiences in 2015 were reintroduced to the world of George Miller’s Mad Max in Mad Max: Fury Road. In that masterpiece, they came to meet a new beloved franchise hero: Imperator Furiosa. It’s almost nine years to the date that Mad Max: Fury Road drove into theaters, and we find ourselves back in The Wasteland, albeit 20-30 years prior to the events of the previous epic, to learn about the origins of Furiosa, and how she became to be the fiercest warrior in the Post-Apocalypse. But was this a story we needed? After witnessing Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, I can safely say, yes it was, and I’m sure glad this was made!

NOC Reviews Mad Max: Fury Road

May 15, 2015November 27, 2019 Ren Hsieh

As humankind ventures deeper into a digital being, Mad Max: Fury Road reminds us that we still live in an analog world. Life after the apocalypse will have no synthesized dings or chimes for audio cues, we will have only the roar of revving engines, bursting flamethrowers, war drums, and a gas-powered electric guitar to warn us that danger is in the distance.
