Review of Mortal Engines (2018) by Deke P — 17 Dec 2018

(6.5/10).

Mortal Engines was weird and utterly bonkers. And I liked it. A visually stunning if not silly new steampunk world we haven't seen before on film. Plot and characters were a bit generic and thin, but the cast and music sell it. Hugo Weaving and Stephen Lang are the MVPs of this movie.

I'm fine with or without a sequel. If you like weird anime, then you'll really like this. Finally something new, bold and risky from a Hollywood blockbuster! (Yes, it's based on a book) See it if you want more bold risky original blockbusters.

Also BTW, the Minions appear in this film. Yes, the yellow ones. I'm not kidding.
