Mortal Engines

"A nice adaptation of the book of the same name, bringing out the world read in the covers of the book series!"

"I really wanted to love this, I don't dislike it, but I don't love it. The characters fall a bit short, the story is alright, but the visuals are top notch as expected from Peter Jackson."

"It had its moments. It was ok"

"Everytime I watch this I am in awe of the visuals. It's absolutely incredible what the CGI in this movie accomplished. Especially for an older movie. Truly I saw more mistakes in modern MCU movies with their CGI than this one. The part of them running through the town being destroyed is incredible. Every part is so meticulous with their background details in that moment and those following you can't help but be awestruck. But let's move past the effects. This story is something incredible. Don't get me wrong it is complex and you need to pay attention yet it retains your interest. The quality of this movie just truly amazes me. Fully and utterly. The acting is great, you've heard me rave on the effects & visuals, the characters have depth, the story is uniquely complex, and it feels realistic. I enjoy it truly. Now don't get me wrong, you won't want to watch it if you wanting something light in the background. This movie is meant to be the centerpiece of your attention. But that's expected of a proper book to movie adaptation. I may not have read the book but I can see the beauty of this story that can only come from a novel first. Every part of this screams book adaptation but it's not in a bad way. You get that feel like when you watch Harry Potter and Hunger Games. Being thrown into another world while you experience a sensation only movies like those can give you. I do like seeing the many characters it provides. Some of them you expect and others shock you in unexpected ways. Shrike is so awesome as well. Basically, if you're in the mood for something to capture your attention and go a thousand years into a dystopian future, try this one out. At least it ends, unlike other movies that have a series to follow. I love me a good sequel, but this one only left me wanting to see how the future of this story plays out. While normally I need more from the story right then and there as if its not finished. I know there is a book sequel but I'm good."

"I fell in love with the story and the main couple . The first scene totaly got me . I really appreciate the writer. 🤌🏿"

"I absolutely love this show!! I so wish there were more. Whole worlds on a traveling land roamers, with some steam punk and inventive new ideas for repurposing old things making them new again. I wish there was a series of these like a trilogy!! "

"So good. Never a dull moment. Kinda wish there was a follow up movie. *4.75"

"This epic fantasy adventure completely swept me off my feet! Set in a post-apocalyptic world where survival depends on mobility and strength, the visuals are utterly breathtaking. Imagination runs wild in this universe – cities roam like giant predators, landscapes are scarred, and innovation reigns supreme. The special effects are seamless, drawing me into this strange new world without distraction. The characters are multidimensional and compelling, with complex personalities that drive the plot forward. The heroine is fierce and determined, while her companion brings a perfect balance of humor and heart. Action sequences are intense and suspenseful – battles rage across land and sky, with heart-pumping stunts that kept me on the edge of my seat. The pacing is well-balanced, blending quiet moments with explosive scenes perfectly. World-building is incredibly rich, with a deep history that hints at a larger universe beyond this story. While some characters feel slightly secondary to the main plot threads, they still add depth and interest. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed – this movie is a thrilling ride filled with imagination, action, and heart. Fans of fantasy and adventure will love the wild journey and captivating characters. "

"It was ok. very predictable. Plot development fell short. character development terrible. Fight scenes cheesey. CGI was pretty good. "
