Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

In this fascinating vision of a post-apocalyptic world, humankind now resides on roving cities that prey on smaller towns for survival. Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan), resident of the great traction city of London, finds himself embroiled in an unexpected and dangerous adventure after forging an unlikely alliance with a fugitive named Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). Written by fantasy heavyweights Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (the filmmakers behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and adapted from the award-winning book series by Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines also stars Hugo Weaving and Stephen Lang. But really, they had us at the mobile, predatory cities part.

Visual waa good. There were some good parts, but there wasn't a great connection. There are a lot of gaps I felt should have been filled throughout the storyline. I could have waited for this to come out.

Great visuals of the cities and you can see Peter Jacksons influence but the story needed better writing and kind of felt like a Matrix 3 movie.

While the movie is often dazzling, it’s also frequently dull.

As with any number of popular YA novels-turned-feature films, Mortal Engines has a wealth of possibilities and curious ideas at its disposal. Instead, it tears past them in pursuit of some of the subgenre’s most exhausted narrative tropes, chewing up everything engaging as it grinds along.

Mortal Engines is bursting with everything you’d want except compelling emotional intelligence.
