Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in AMC IMAX

The Mad Max Franchise has returned with another installment. 

This installment finds a young Furiosa being snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, she falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Time soon passes and Furiosa grows up. She is carried around in a cage as the biker horde Sweeps through the Wasteland.

They come across the Citadel, presided over by the Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a nonstop battle to make her way home. The story unfolds from there…

This installment takes a page from Mad Max: Fury Road. The Dirt and Dust continues to fly. The movie is executed very well and gives Mad Max Fury Road more credibility. The Cast is strong, although I was not convinced of Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal of a bad guy.

There is definitely plenty of action, some suspense and the cinematography aspects were excellent. The IMAX effects are very good, you will definitely feel like you are riding along on the motorcycles or the trucks.

The door is left open at the end…

If you are a Mad Max Fan, then you won’t want to miss “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”

Glass

Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis reprise their “Unbreakable” roles Elijah Price also known as Mr. Glass and David Dunn. Joining them from “Split” is James McAvoy as Kevin Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within him. Also Anya Taylor-Joy joins “Glass” as Casey Cook who was the only person to survive an encounter with The Beast.

“Glass” picks up following the conclusion of “Split” where Crumb’s superhuman figure The Beast is being shadowed by David Dunn in a series of escalating encounters that lands them both in a mental hospital. Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) is already there. Once they all find out they are together again Elijah Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets that are critical to both Crumb and Dunn. The story unfolds from there…

I am not sure what I expected, but this movie was just plain crazy. It’s almost like a deconstruction of a series of events that have happened in the lives of the three men, Dunn, Price and Crumb.
There are times of clarity and then there are times of confusion. There are a few interesting scenes and some interesting action and intrigue, but unfortunately that’s not enough to make “Glass” a good solid movie.
“Glass” is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it certainly is not the best.

I am not sure that I would watch “Glass” at home on a Saturday night with a tub of popcorn…

This is a 2 Star Movie!!
