There\u2019s something surreal about a 70-something auteur like George Miller directing films like a Red Bull-addicted teen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miller proved it anew with \u201cMad Max: Fury Road,\u201d an overrated but dizzying display that revived the dormant franchise. That film\u2019s prequel, \u201cFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga,\u201d offers even more of that visceral pop.<\/p>\n

So much more, in fact, that you\u2019ll be begging for the end credits. It\u2019s numb-a-thon like few others, a crush of post-apocalyptic tropes in search of a point.<\/p>\n

It never arrives.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

The film opens with a lazy rehash of how we got here. Wars. Pollution. Greed, Yada yada yada. Even \u201cFuriosa\u201d seems disinterested in the post-apocalyptic details.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re immediately plunged into the steampunk world of Mad Max sans Max, complete with cool cars, greasepaint-clad workers and key characters from \u201cFury Road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, this is Furiosa\u2019s origin story, and the film delivers her biography in Jackson Pollock fashion. The narrative, broken into chapters, tracks her evolution from an orphaned pre-teen (Alyla Browne, excellent) to a world-weary warrior played by Anya Taylor-Joy.<\/p>\n

Theron\u2019s gave Furiosa a formidable presence. She wasn’t muscle-bound, but you would never mess with her. Taylor-Joy also has screen presence to burn, but she can\u2019t conjure what Theron gave to the franchise.<\/p>\n

Intimidation.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t help that she\u2019s more survivor than warrior. The story doesn\u2019t give her enough bravura moments to show why anyone should take her seriously.<\/p>\n

The rest is a mess, a crush of warring tribes battling over oil and weaponry. The story bumps along, veering from one confusing set piece to the next. Some individual moments stun, showing Miller\u2019s strength in crafting loopy, one-of-a-kind action beats. Then, we\u2019re back to the cinematic mayhem and we unplug from the storytelling mainframe.<\/p>\n

Again and again.<\/p>\n
