Mortal Engines (2018)
Directed by Christian
Rivers this film based on the book of the same name stars Hera
Hilmar, Robert Sheehan, Hugo Weaving and Jihae. In the post
apocalyptic future cities drive round consuming other cities.
For my taste this film
spent far too long ripping off familiar story elements from other
franchises and too little time on the characters or explaining the
world. In the end I never really understood why people drove around
in huge cities after all. Not a bad watch but a pretty bland effort
really, even the action sequences have the hallmark of a
director/editor that does not know how to hold a shot or show the
geography of a sequence.
2/5
