Review of Mortal Engines (2018) by Zach K — 16 Dec 2018

Mortal Engines starts off promising with a Mad Max-like chase sequence that captures you into the movie. However as the movie continues, you start to realize the increasingly convoluted plot and lose sight of what direction the movie wants to take.

I know the movie wants to do the book justice, but 2 hours ain't enough for all the concepts to be fully developed, not enough to have an impact on the audience at least. Chemistry between the actors are quite sloppy, and towards the end of the movie, it introduces more and more characters seems to serve no purpose to the overarching storyline.

Overall, the movie could've been way more than what it is now.
