Atom User Reviews for Mortal Engines

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.

Outstanding. Richly-textured and visually stunning. Amazing world building. So glad the movie focused on developing the plot and characters around adventure and fantasy, and wisely left out the gratuitous kissing scenes that Hollywood tends to force on viewers. Jihae Kim…

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.

Disappointing for a fan of the books. But it looks good.

story was incomplete

They took waaaaaay to many liberties with the book, like ignoring chapters about 10-25 of the book, and totally changing the ending altogether. Good enough book. Rubbish film.

I'll admit, it's a lot different from the book and as a filmmaker I do have a lot of problems with it, but that being said I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I have seen it 3 times and plan to go again. The filmmakers have done an excellent job bringing this world to life. The world…

Ehhh!

While the effects were pretty cool, the plot seemed rushed but what do you expect from a novel becoming a movie.

It was a great movie, placed about a thousand years in the future, this shows a world where everyone lives on a mobile city and what can happen when a leader abuses their power.

They need to kill off the characters who died in the book!

London tries to conquer China and fails. The end.

Pretty Good.

So much bad writing for nonsensical villains.

Great effects, weak storytelling, fun filled action from start to finish. An entertaining popcorn movie!

Just ok. Plot just got a lil out of hand

Good premise, great effects, and action scenes, but tried to fit too much story in one film and ended up with no depth or feeling like you really understood any one character... no investment = feelings of meh about the whole thing. Would have liked to see more investment…

pretty entertaining

Some people love it but wasn’t my type.

Love the movie. Great visuals and effects. Felt a lot like the original Star Wars movie. Loved it overall. Went into the theatre not to know what to expect.

Made me cry.

Great original story, lots of action and cool visual effects.

to many "epic close ups" that are not epic but enjoyable movie

Beautiful and well told. Some convenient plot devices to move the story along, but nothing that takes you out of the story. I enjoyed the world created and the the characters in it.

Nice visuals, but story seemed incomplete.

Not a strong storyline

I got what I expected out of it, a bit of silly spectacle with some fun action.

Visually arresting. Good story. But, truly, a love story with some fight and war sequences, with a nod towards mankinds tendancies to disregard history. The steampunk aspect was out of this world good!

story was lacking

it was good. liked the story line. STRIKE was my favorite

New unique movie.

it was a great one-timer

an aquired taste

Great entertaining fantasy movie

Steampunk dystopian future masterpiece. Only rarely am I so entertained.

An excellent Syfy movie full of action & intrigue! Want to see more

it is EPIC!!! The ending was mind-numbing. I mean after all the Brits did and the people of the wall didn't seek a different?!?

Good graphics and animation. Writing and story could be a little improved. I haven't read the book but this movie reminded me of "City of Ember" which is a good movie.

IT WAS JUST OKAY. I expected s little more plot. The concept was pretty good ...but, as others have stated I couldn’t really connect with the characters. Good visual effects, though, They were breathtaking.

It's fun. Their are to many things going on sometimes and story lines get left behind.

there's like three awesome minutes of this movie, but the rest of it is the suck

Good movie, enjoyed watching it. Only reason for 3 stars instead of possibly 4 is because I was sleepy when I went to the movies and over half way through I started head bobbing and missed some important things.

it was ok

It was awesome

I loved it! I would definitely see it again!

I liked it, had some Star Wars feel to it, but it was good, a tad too long though

it was okay I wouldn't see it again

great visuals, creative designs but hard to really care about the characters or the story as a whole

Unique with multiple storylines. 3D was not very 3D but still visually stimulating

loved it! great story. action packed.
