Review of Mortal Engines (2018) by Abby W — 18 Dec 2018

I walked in to this movie totally blind, had no idea what it was about, and absolutely loved it! It was action packed, the story flowed smoothly, they had the most interesting actors playing the parts (WildFlower for the win!)... I literally thought to myself, they certainly hired the right people... the ones who really deserved the job this time. The ones who could make this story believable, albeit a little less star studded.

Be warned...Itâ(TM)s not the newest story (but whatever!).

And there was a hot second there at the beginning where I was seriously worried it was going to be another Mortal Instruments, or Twilight, or I Am Number Four (RIP the movies that these could have been!), with cheesy graphics and terribly angst-ridden-without-true-depth delivery... BUT IT WASNâ(TM)T!

I shed a few tears, giggled outloud, was on the edge of my seat at times, and overall thoroughly enjoyed myself with this flick. Definitely recommend no matter what the critics say.
