    I am tentatively excited. Seeing Miller is still attached as the director is a big positive. He clearly has a vision for the Mad Max universe that has elaborated over time. Anya Taylor-Joy is a good actress and she passes for a young Charlize Theron.

    I am mildly worried by some of the visuals, which have a more floaty and obvious CG look to them. A few shots look more ‘300’ than ‘Fury Road’. Might just be bad context and/or early visuals that aren’t fully cleaned up yet.

    Edit: I just realized what the visuals really remind me of. 2011’s ‘Priest’ starring Paul Bettany. Concerning.

      Anya Taylor-Joy… passes for a young Charlize Theron.

      I disagree with this. I think Joy is a good actor but the difference between her and Theron is really jarring.

    Not exactly sure what it is but I’m just not big on Anya. I wish they had chosen someone else.

    Recently read Blood Sweat and Chrome about the making of Fury Road - Furiosa was written during the decades long production of that movie. Originally was going to be an anime tie-in like the Animatrix but they thought it was too good not to save for a movie.
