So, yesterday I watched "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga", a few years late.

I feel there's a few plot holes, but I liked it quite a bit.
Decent acting, nice visuals, ok plot.
Some crappy CGI at some point, but overall very enjoyable.

Maybe it's because I was a kid in the '80s, I just can't get enough of that kind of post-apocalyptic imagery.

@riffraff I didn't see it, but I'm wondering how in 2020+ there can be "crappy CGI" with a budget of millions of $. If just a matter of hiring the right/wrong dudes?

@passiomatic AFAIU they used the same people from Mad Max: Fury Road, but they have _more_ CGI so some of it just came out bad, and relied on some new things (deep fakes!) which aren't as good.
Also, I think you need to spend more to get better CGI, e.g. the bit in Dune where they used huge led screens with the background desert to get the proper lighting and not just green screens.
