T K @RT34571807 6 days ago Some of the best visual storytelling I have ever seen! A wild ride with a beating heart at its center.tje opening sequence is a heart-stopping plunge into this post-apocolyptic world with predator cities competing for resources in one of the most exciting action sequences ever! This film is brilliantly cast, and every single performer is giving 110 percent. If you prefer your action films to be uncomplicated, or you don't enjoy female protagonists, this one is not for you. I, however, feel like this gave me everything! The best Post-Apocolyptic stories shine a light on the mistakes we are making in the present, which this does, very well. I purchased it on both DVD and Blu-ray, and watch it fairly often. It still makes me laugh, cry, and hang on to the edge of my seat. For those of you are fans of the book, I understand that it might not be perfectly faithful. However, it stands on its own as a fantastic piece of art.

Infuriatingly anemic performances from Hera Hilmar and Jihae are the lowlights of this bloated corpse of a film. Both phone in performances that contain such little uniqueness, charisma, or basic human emotion that I'm led to believe that if their family were killed in front of them, they wouldn't react much more than a bleak, lingering look to the camera. The plot is incredibly weak, with a confusing timeline and twists that can be seen coming from a country mile away. You don't see so much as a single nuanced or fleshed out character in the movie. The father-daughter relationship between Kate and Thaddeus falls especially flat. There are attempts to hint at deep worldbuilding and history here, but the script is so lackluster that it drains your curiosity of any background lore immediately. They must have had Hugo Weaving at gunpoint to force his participation. Christian Rivers should quit his job and sell vegetables in Mumbai.

Hope they finish the series.. They didnt market it very good. I feel like if more people watched it they would of had a better turnout and made alot more money but they didn't sell the movie very good. See more Chris S @Janomi Aug 10, 2026 Mortal Engines has plenty to like because the central idea is fantastic. Giant mobile cities hunting and consuming smaller towns is weird, imaginative, and instantly cinematic. London on wheels, airships, trading towns, machinery, scavenger culture, and post-apocalyptic geography give the movie a huge visual identity. Hera Hilmar gives the story its strongest emotional thread as Hester Shaw. Her scars, anger, trauma, and revenge mission make her stand out inside a very effects-heavy movie. Shrike is also one of the more memorable pieces, bringing a tragic, darker edge through his connection to Hester. The problem is that the movie throws too much at the audience: moving cities, class conflict, ancient technology, revenge, romance, air battles, corruption, and mythology. The world is interesting, but the storytelling feels crowded. It has potential, but it feels more like a franchise starter than a complete film. See more Read all reviews
