It’s hard to understand why one of the year's best films is simultaneously one of the year’s biggest flops, especially when the film in question is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Director George Miller has been tinkering with his world of blood, chrome, and desolation for 45 years, and after the excellent Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015, the world was hungry for more. Rather than capitalize on the momentum the soft reboot created, though, Miller turned the clock back to trace the origins of Imperator Furiosa.
