Mortal Engines is not a bad film because the visuals, production, and costume design were on point. Although it is funny how the character Hester Shaw wears a red scarf to hide her horrific scars; however, from what I learned from the novel (that it is based on), Shaw is described as missing one eye and lost most of her nose, but in the movie, she has a little scar on her face. It's another Ready Player One situation where the actress is supposed to be horrible looking to everyone, but she is still beautiful and can easily be a model. Also, the Minions showed up in this movie. If that sounded random and out of nowhere, you now know how I felt when it happened.

An overly-ambitious, would-be blockbuster that has a fascinating premise and amazing effects, but is hampered by its dense plot mechanics and uninteresting casting. Both Robert Sheehan and Hera Hilmar are out of their league in trying to navigate this meandering epic. Hugo Weaving does better as the villain, as does Stephen Lang as terminator-esque zombie-bot and I really liked Jihae as the rebellious Anna Fang - but a few pieces cannot make a whole and Mortal Engines runs out of gas long before it ends.

Okay so I got a free screeing for this movie and I still left after 40 minutes the movie was beautiful no doubt but oh my God it was so slow moving it was torture and it didn't seem to be going along anywhere soon so I just gave up maybe I gave up too soon but I just didn't really see the need to stay and get tortured even longer.
