An afternoon out at a chilly mall on a typical blazing hot day in Bangkok led to some shopping at Adidas and this newly-released movie at the cinema. The latest entry in the Mad Max saga from the twisted and colorful mind of George Miller is a worthy prequel to the modern classic "Fury Road". Anya Taylor-Joy acquits herself well and ably steps into the role made iconic by Charlize Theron, filling in her back story to good effect, but a real standout is Chris Hemsworth as Dementus, excellent from beginning to end with a particularly satisfying final scene.
The film is a steampunk road-rage apocalyptic fantasy with customarily excellent set design and decoration, with fascinating vehicle contraptions tearing over the Australian desert wasteland. The score is propulsive and cinematography breathtaking, and while I don't know that it's as good as "Fury Road", it's definitely one worth seeing in the theatre. And FTR, it's heaps better as a prequel than "Solo" was in the Star Wars universe.
