Quick Review: This film was quite interesting. One of the things I appreciate is the environment of the world of Mortal Engines. A lot of work has been put into the city machines, airplanes, costumes, and cyberpunk weapons. Those elements were strong. Some of the visuals look great. The cinematography isn’t consistent but there were some creative shots. The CGI was pretty good but some looked very iffy and too noticeable. Especially when characters are in the sky or outside. The sets look incredible and the production itself is great. Unfortunately, the story and characters were lacking in their writing. A lot of cliche plot lines and a lack of character development in the supporting cast. A bunch of flashbacks sequences did little to help the story. Some characters didn’t do anything at all or they’re there for plot movements. A lot of “plot devices” were used which bothers me and this film could’ve been quickly paced. The editing was very bad in this film. Not a lot of shots couldn’t get enough screen time and some scenes couldn’t breathe a little bit. It’s quick-paced in a bad way and there were shots that didn’t feel cinematic or shots that aren’t good. The editing and the story were the main critical issues of the film. While I loved the production behind it, so much potential went down the drain. Damn, this could’ve been something special and epic. I’m pretty disappointed but it is what it is.
