Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Official Trailer // Reaction & Review 

The entirety of this shoot was plagued by non stop rains - in the desert. Including a flash flood that destroyed all the trucks. This combined with COVID 19 protocols crated a situation where they had to do a lot of shots on set instead of outdoors. They had a choice, wait until 2025 to re-shoot everything to release it, or just make the movie. The WB was in no financial position to wait. Personally, I think it will still be great.

I think it looks just like Fury Road. Fury Road also had a lot of CGI but it was mixed so well with practical effects. The scene when the cars are driving through those tornadoes at the beginning of Fury Road is a perfect example.

Just remember that trailers are made by the marketing people and are often different to how the movie actually looks.

George Miller only uses practical effects. That’s what got him the Oscar for Fury Road. They had several filming locations, so it might look CGI, but about 95% is practical, Dustin.

You guys gotta rewatch Fury Road, it has the same stylised CGI as Furiosa. George Miller is definitely not afraid to make his visuals dreamlike.

Nobody is ever going to be allowed to make a movie the way that George Miller made Fury Road ever again. He basically kidnapped an entire cast and crew and took them out into the middle of the Namibian desert and sent back incoherent footage to WB as proof of life. Everybody involved hated the process the entire time. They were ALWAYS going to have to rely more on CGI if they were going to make more of these in the future and Miller even said as much years ago. But as for the saturation it looks exactly like Fury Road did.

This was the best trailer I’ve seen for any movie in a very long time! I hope the movie itself lives up to it. Looking forward to it, as I loved the original movie too.

Y’all seem to be the only ones that have questioned this teaser; everyone else loved it and the beautiful cinematography…especially the shot of Anya with her eyes.🤭

Fury Road mixed practical effects with CGI. I see really little difference in terms of aesthetics. People really need to rewatch Fury Road, there are so many scenes where they used CGI to enhance or add to the practical effects.

Hey guys you got to remember that the movie is in its pre-production stage so releasing this trailer is just little taste of what we going to experience. All the CGI and the effects probably not even done yet because they have to touch on some few things. Give George Miller time for his perfection he always make his movies look phenomenal.... In my opinion I think some of the scenes were shot on green screen because George probably doesn't want these actors to work in harsh environments again.

I'm excited for this movie. And how they make Chris Hemsworth look different reminds me of how they did with Colin Farrell when he played the Penguin in The Batman almost couldn't recognize him. But either way I'm excited for this one. I'm sure they're gonna tie in the events of the first one to this one. Awesome reaction you two 🔥❤

Best trailer since the Batman to me

Can we please stop analyzing a 1 and 1/2 trailer endlessly to death? If you know George Miller,you know he has a personal preference to a certain type of realism over CGI.

I think you two might be thinking of the original 3 movies on how it looked grainy. This new film looks a lot like Fury Road in the cinematography and tone. I'm usually aligned with yall but saying this looks like it has a tv budget has me really perplexed but that's OK. I respect your take on it. Art can hit us all differently.

To be fair this is very much in line with Fury Road, which had visual-effects in 99% of the movie (if not all). Also this is just a trailer, they almost never look like the actual movie. I trust George Miller to deliver.

You know they have spent US$233 million on this also they went back to Australia Outback to film this not where they shot Fury road as that was shot in Namibia as the area in Australia he wanted to film had a rainy season so he couldn’t do it there due to the look of the area Also this is the biggest production ever been done in Australia they have said they shot most of it on location and they even went back to shot in Silverton where the original Mad Max movies were shot

I completely see where you're both coming from you can almost immediately see the difference from on location rough and messy in a good way to possibly in a more controlled environment and CGI is highly noticable, I hope we still get a great story to what is already a crowd favorite to many

I’ve seen fury road soooooo many times and it looks exactly the same. In the actual movie you’ll probably see the neatness

I didn't see "Fury Road" at the cinema, but I'll make sure I'm there for this one.

Does anyone remember the dust storm scene in Fury Road? Fury Road had plenty of CGI. There is no way they could film this like Fury Road. That was a nightmare to film, and George Miller is almost eighty years old. Some people just like to complain about everything.

9 years later: new technology and this is the first trailer. The final cut will be different. And also, no one movie from Mad Max is a copy from the previous chapter. Miller loves improve o change his product

I've watched 3 reaction videos so far. Nobody mentioned the Thor cape.

it's George Miller so I'm in. I think if you guys watch his last movie with Idris elba as a genie you guys will have a better opinion

love the Mulan Christmas sweater ......

My hope is that the studio pushed a trailer out before it was ready and the effects look more CGI, sort of like how people often complain about the “CGI” effects in Alien3 but it’s not actually they’re complaining about, but bad/poorly rendered compositing that is difficult to make look good when the studios push out a rerelease on a new format. So I am hoping that’s what we are seeing here, effects that are not quite ready but the studio felt they needed a teaser out asap. I desperately hope it is not an The Thing (2011) situation where the studio pushes CGI on the filmmakers. When I hear about the Fury Road working conditions, I’m kinda just like, “sooo, they made a Mad Max film, what?” 😂 Ya know? I have to assume it’s because of the scale of Fury Road, which dwarfed the original trilogy and incorporated more Hollywood than in previous films, that make it something that keeps getting brought up. Personally, I’m on the fence mostly because George Miller’s stories are always trying to remind us about climate change and our relationship with the world, and I didn’t really feel that in this trailer. I trust him though, and expect it will be an important through-line-via the world building & hopefully in the narrative, (perhaps we see as the Green Place becomes the place with the crows.) 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am excited but not as excited as I want to be.

Looks like a wild movie! Definitely my dad will check out, he liked the first one! Plus love your sweater Wendy! ❤👕

Fury Road actually did have a lot of CGi as well, as the sky was mostly fake in Fury Road.. George Miller changes his world's dramatically in these films. Joseph Campbell's' A Hero with a Thousand Faces ' was a major influence in the Max series. The world is gonna look dramatically different in this film, explaining the entire Max back story timeline saga... Story wise, Furiosa is gonna be different with the world building from Fury Road. This film has more of a story and dialog , rather than just a big chase and action like Fury. Road This film will definitely not be MEDIOCRE! 🎬👍

Yeeeeaaaahhhhh.....Just watched it. Fail on the skepticism. They blended the two perfectly. Fury Road is still slightly better lol.

This is such a weird negative reaction. Budget drop? it's more than last time. You don't realise that what you think is CGI is usually practical... like that fire is often real pyro but filmed in a different/or sped up way.. it's not always cgi. This was also filmed in Aus and the landscapes are amazing with the colours.

God the CGI comments are quite annoying considering the fact that Fury Road was a nightmare to film and everyone on set being miserable (there is a whole book about it.). So if a bit of CGI here and there is needed to relieve that pressure on the film-makers, so be it.

Fury Road had way less cgi than you may think. This trailer is from an early cut. But honestly, I don't get what you are saying, go watch the original trailer to Fury Road. It looks just like it.

You may want to watch Fury Road again because this looks no different from it. Both have tons of cg work which is absolutely fine.

I think you guys can’t distinguish between CGI and frame rate

But yall saying this after the fact, knowing it was practical after the film. No one saw the first trailer of mad max fury road and said i know this is all practical.

George Miller is too old to be running around the desert shooting these scenes for our entertainment..lol

How clean? What were y’all looking at? Going to kick ass.

We have to keep in mind that the movie is still a ways away from completion. I’m sure the CGI is still being worked on.

You guys are my first

This is the definition of a biased reaction, it’s honestly like both of you are judging the movie based solely on the first trailer plus uhh the practical effects and color grading look practically identical to Fury Road and while yeah I know some elements are CG but only because it would be near impossible and extremely dangerous to put stunt doubles and the crew in some of those shots

It completely distorted the George Miller style. Are you sure this isn't a game? Is it for PS5 or Xbox?

I might know who Chris Hemsworth is = The Bullet Farmer.

I hope this trailer isn't representative of the movie because if it is, then it will be Mad Max: CGI Road.

Honestly I just stopped judging effects from trailers. The imagery is too quick and lacking too much context. I can appreciate the effort of practical effects but it just needs to feel real in the moment. It's not worth the effort for me to pick out visual fact from fiction anymore because the tech is too good and even the practical stuff gets heavily post-processed. That said the trailer was fine and Anya looks great but it did look way too tame for a Mad Max adjacent film. It needed a hard R & redband trailer to announce this.

Its been 8 years actually since Fury Road and now I feel old I was 15 when it came out and now im 23 and the relase date is May 24th and that was Hemsworth he in the movie

The car in the sands looks CGI ? Man, if CGI could simulates the sand that well, it'd deserve an Oscar. They might added some sand with computer but there's real sand in that scene. Just like when they blow Max car in Fury Road ; they added flames and darker smoke but there was real dust and smoke around the car. I feel its more the frame is brighter but it reminds me a lot that vibe from Fury Road where Max is telling Furiosa to go back ; that same feeling that actors are "cut off" the background. Rest of Fury Road was probably darker or dustier so you couldn't tell what was CGI for sure. Those scenes look pretty clearer and brighter. The only weird shot, imo, in this trailer is the last one where you can tell her hair are fake. Also we don't have any date yet so it might be fixed by the time the movie got released.

I kind of see what you guys are talking about. While I do like the look of Furiosa, it is a bit cleaner than Fury Road. This one looks a bit like "intentional graphic novel" in places. Not quite "Sin City," but reminiscent of it. I wonder if the explanation for the visual difference is as simple as they changed cinematographers. (A glance at Google indicates that the "Fury Road" cinematographer turned down "Furiosa.")

It looked exactly like Fury Road I don't know what you guys are talking about and probably shouldn't base a movie off of 10 seconds of footage

It's not that they COULDN'T get her back. Seems like it's more like they just didn't WANT her back and wanted to go a different, I guess younger direction. Sucks but, I really like Anya so I'm ok with it.

I'm sold on it. 😊

I trust you 😃

Who cares about the CGI!!! Just enjoy the trailer!!

O trust me trailer looked worse on instagram this doesnt look bad but as ya said. Heres hoping the final product is better

Looks great 👍🏿

Even if Charlize Theron wanted to, she could not have come back, because of an age issue, since it is a prequel and it is a story several years before Fury Road, she had to be a very young Furiosa in her 20s, Charlize is already close to 50 years old, unless she had been rejuvenated but it would have been very laborious and costly so much CGI on her throughout the film,, anyway Anya Taylor-Joy will do very well, she is a very good actress.

I loved Mad Max: Fury Road. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron were phenomenal. I love Anya Taylor-Joy. I’m a big fan of her. I’m excited to see her in this role. The trailer looks excellent. I can’t wait. By the way, I watched John Rocha on his show The Nation this week, and he heard from a source that George Miller’s next movie after Furiosa is a Fury Road sequel with only Tom Hardy returning. The script is already written. Production could start at the end of 2024. There my be character in the sequel for Idris Elba to play.

So funny to see people who doesnt know anything about VFX criticize it like they know it. C'mon it's a trailer, if you didn't like it its as simple as that, lol.

@ Wendy ~ "polished" = refined, sophisticated, or elegant. ..nothing wrong with that .. 🕵 *

Yes. That was Chris Hemsworth, with a putty nose.

I love only Chris Hemsworth ❤❤❤

First view and first comment! I’m so excited for this movie! I haven’t seen the original trilogy, but I watched Fury Road (because I love Charlize Theron). It’s sad Charlize wasn’t asked to come back for this movie, but the filmmakers decided against deaging her after watching The Irishman. 😅 They felt it still looks a little too uncanny valley and recast Furiosa instead.

yall are kinda over reacting.. Fury Road had a nice amount of CGI as well.. i can name multiple scenes it was evident.. but as far as this film.. i like the mesh of clean landscape shots with the dirty elements

Оооооу ооооооууууууу это реакция?

I don’t know if I’m just becoming g a grumpy old man or what- but why are my favorite reactors all been annoying me lately? Things another reaction I was looking forward to only to get the worst take on a trailer the rest of the internet agrees is awesome. Again, maybe it’s just me.

I'm excited to see Furiosa's story, and I have complete faith in Anya to nail the part, but when I first watched the trailer my immediate thought was that it doesn't look "real" in the same way Fury Road did. Still 100% going to see it on the big screen though!

You guys have no idea what you're talking about 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

The CGI looks very Sin City ... but in colour.

lol. I’ve watched several reactions to this trailer and you guys were the least excited by it. You were also talking throughout. Not a fun reaction.

CGI looks soo poorly

It looks a bit too polished.

I think it looks bomb so lol

I'm a little perturbed by what looks more like green screen and CGI effects than the practical action we witnessed in Fury Road. I think it'll be good but it's not gonna be able to match how incredible Fury Road was.
