And it may yet be in a Director's Cut, provided the scenes have actually been shot but edited out for time, rather than never being part of the script.
The problem is the large time jumps, so that despite being a "Furiosa origin story", we are still missing a lot of information about Furiosa's background.
What happened between her childhood and adulthood?
How did she avoid becoming a concubine?
How did she manage to pass for a boy for so many years?
How did she learn to drive?
How did she learn to shoot and fight?
How did she learn to create a functioning artificial arm for herself?
How did the war unfold (we only see the start and the finish)?
Etc.
It makes the story rather uneven.
However, as an action B-move it IS a clear 10, no expense is spared, the look and feel is very much like Fury Road, and as such it is right up there with the best, if you can overlook the inconsistent storyline.
I still recommend you watch it, because it certainly has that special "Aussie Mad Max feel" and utter madness, and it is highly enjoyable in that respect.
It just isn't all it could have been, which is a shame and leaves you slightly dissatisfied.
