Cool steampunk, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.
Magnificient environment, try to imagine Mad Max meeting Terminator on board of moving London city and wearing sunglasses from Matrix.
Nice to see big movie with almost unknown cast for me, only names Hugo Weaving and a bit Robert Sheehan say something.
Waiting already next movie in the world of writer Philip Reeve. 5 years 4 months ago -

Insane, overblown dystopic young adult steampunk "sci-fi" action adventure. It's spectacular to look at with great visuals and many details to its world (which is ridiculous to even think of). Just give the first ten minutes a look, it has to be seen to believed: there are literally hundred-metre-high tank machinery TOWNS hunting each other. W-T-F.
The problem is, the basic concept of this world and the cheap character designs and plot will be intolerable to many viewers. You can't ignore the way in which exposition and story background get crammed into the (subpar) dialogue, to an often laughable effect.
It's a bloody shame: With more effort, this could have been the Mad Max (Fury Road) of YA blockbusters, a triumph over Hunger Games and Maze Runner and the like.
To have this audacious special FX vehicle fail so hard at the box office is still unfair. You should at least give it a chance.
Not a "good" film, you know - but absolutely worth seeing. 3 years 5 months ago -

With these kind of movies I'm absolutely OK with plot holes, shallow screenwriting etc. however checking the right airforce leather jacket during a war that wipes a city off is a bit too much. Anyway it is a fun watch though. 3 years 6 months ago
