Even for an ‘atmosphere-first, plot-second’ kind of a film, the story here is thin & the resolution perfunctory — but the two leads & the cinematography are good enough that I found this a rewarding watch anyway.
Sort of interesting how even though one character is constantly recording events, we don’t really see much from that perspective. Gives the film kind of a found-footage vibe without actually being shot that way.

I do like how this portrays fascist warmongers (accurately enough in many cases) as being deeply incompetent at actually fighting a war — a bunch of Eisen-und-Blud speechifying, then a mob of overconfident thugs run directly at the enemy before panicking the moment they meet resistance.

I've come to really appreciate how each Mad Max film is its own unique thing; only Road Warrior and Fury Road are really similar, and even then the execution is distinct enough that the latter doesn't feel like a retread of the former.
This time around it's an old-school epic, with the tenuous civilization of the wasteland disrupted by a nomadic horde, a dynastic warlord threatened by a charismatic chieftain. Feels like the kind of story that would have been done in the '60s with Romans and barbarians, horses and wagon-trains.
Definitely felt the lack of Hugh Keays-Byrne, but so it goes.
