Went into this film expecting nothing and knowing little, but it's Sci-fi so had to have a look. And what did I find? To be honest I found surprise, based on a whacky idea I'll admit but then how often does that happen in Sci-fi? Quite a lot over the decades.
So the basic plot is the world as we know it is destroyed so people now live in towns and cities that are mobile, imagine that, putting London on tracks! You do get the feeling that as the human race evolved after the end of the world and planning their future that they took a left instead of right, but you can't knock them for that.
Reading another review I noticed somebody say " okay it has been panned for ripping off Star Wars but that's no reason bash the film " personally to me if Mortal Engines is like any film it's Waterworld, only in this case substitute " the smokers " for London.
So is it worth watching? Now I've seen it I have to say yes, and I feel sure that if this had been made before any of the MCU came it would have been rated higher, is there anything wrong of course there is, the film poses far too many questions and gives too few answers, kind of makes you think they planned a sequel though it didn't make enough money for that, as a Sci-fi film I enjoyed it and will watch it again I can also see Mortal Engines becoming a cult film in time, I gave it seven stars and it's worth every one of them.
