Warner Bros. is gearing up to release Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga on digital platforms in the UK come July, with physical formats such as 4K UHD Blu-ray and DVD arriving in August. This highly anticipated film sees George Miller returning to the Wasteland nearly a decade after the explosive success of Mad Max: Fury Road.
A New Chapter in the Wasteland
The film is an expansive narrative that zeroes in on the backstory of Imperator Furiosa, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy as an adult and Alyla Browne as a child. As the world falls apart, young Furiosa finds herself ripped from the Green Place of Many Mothers and into the clutches of a brutal biker gang led by the warlord Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth. This sets off a chain of events that thrusts her into an epic battle between Dementus and Immortan Joe, which shapes the future of the Wasteland.
Familiar Faces, New Stories
In addition to Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth, the film features Lachy Hulme as Immortan Joe. The narrative also introduces several quirky characters like Piss Boy and Octoboss. However, despite references circulating online, there’s no clear information about scenes involving Octoboss riding a motorcycle in the sky.
Critical Reception
Early reviews have been mixed but often highlight Miller’s visionary approach. One review noted that ‘Furiosa’ is a scorching, rip-roaring, and downright breathtaking odyssey that serves as his finest work yet.
Home Media Details
The film will be available for pre-order on Prime Video for £29.99 starting June 24, 2024, giving fans another chance to immerse themselves in this dystopian universe. Expectedly, rental options will offer a more flexible viewing window of 48 hours.
The Legacy Continues
Miller’s return to the Mad Max universe is both a look back at beloved characters and an extension into new terrain. With strong performances from Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga promises to be an unmissable entry in this iconic series.
