The action in the movie unfolds quickly and simply
About what is happening in the world in “Furiosa”, as in other parts of “Mad Max”, they talk on the credits for literally a couple of minutes. Right after that the main action starts: in five minutes there will be the first motorcycle chase through the unchanging wasteland, shooting at the riders and all kinds of witty tricks.

One might even ironically note that Miller’s work is the exact opposite of the new “Dune.” Both stories unfold in the sands, both have charismatic tyrants and cults. But Villeneuve devoted the entire first part of the story to the plot, while Miller believes that unnecessary details are simply not necessary. And he’s right about that.
Although the author still has a surprise, primarily for fans of Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. The thing is that the adult Furiosa will appear on the screen only an hour after the beginning. And only then will she grab all the attention.
Strictly speaking, Fury Road did things in a similar way: Max looked more like a passive observer for a long time and just mooed under his mask.
The introduction of “Furiosa” is more about Dementus and his ambitions – and here Hemsworth takes his breath away. He is not the first time to play charming cult leaders – remember “Nothing Good at the Hotel El Royale”. The actor fully justifies the name of his character: “Dementus” from Latin – “mad”.
He clearly enjoys not coloring his makeup and the combination of insolence and cowardice of his character. So it won’t be boring even in the beginning. And in general, the movie, which lasts for 2 hours and 28 minutes, flies by like a fighting truck on the road.
The first and the main scene with already grown up Furiosa is the very action for 15 minutes without a break, promised to the fans. It’s even hard to say something original about it: if you liked the truck races from the previous part, you’ll enjoy it here too.
On the screen – all the same strange costumes, exploding spears and even flying motorcycles. And when the machine called “thresher” will be launched, it will become quite beautiful. In general, action from the heart. Alas, in the finale, such a drive will not be repeated, replacing it with a more personal moment for the heroine.
