Imagine sitting on a hill eating ice cream when suddenly you see the entire of London come at you at full speed
At least you would be on a hill. They tend to stay on flatter ground ;p
@@RennieAsh well you're not safe as there are people from the south east lol
You will feel the full might of London
That would be scary
I’d sh*t myself.
You can really tell this story probably did way better in book form. The amount of plot twists and world expansion feels like it compressed at least 10 novels in two hours.
@@chuchu5946 As someone who actually really enjoyed the premise as a book and was really surprised to see it get a movie I have to agree with you it was really hard to read that book because of the writing
@@lorgarspersonalchair I think he means bad writing for the movie, not the book
Yh the books are actually rlly good compared to this lol
But the cgi? My man thats awesome
Some ideas just don't adapt well. Some just aren't very good in the first place.

I remember desperately wanting to see this movie, even though it had relatively negative reviews.
I really did love it and my desire to see it was not in vain, but I also understand why it had a generally bad reception:
It's actually a lot like the Michael Bay Transformers movies--the selling point is the amazing visuals and CGI, of which most will agree Mortal Engines demonstrated spectacularly well.
But of course, these scenes are very difficult, time consuming, and expensive to make. That being said, most of the movie consists of person-to-person drama, and scenes that are not quite so interesting to watch. That is why this movie fell apart.
I've only watched it in its entirety once, but I'd definitely be willing to watch it again just for the sake of seeing the colossal, mobile, steampunk monstrosities rolling across the screen.
yeah but with city's instead of robots
More city action would be great, though I guess people need people to keep interested.
It's a cool idea but I didn't make it through 20 minutes of the movie. This recap is the first time I've known what happened beyond the first portion of the story.
I’ve never heard anyone describe transformers as a movie with amazing visuals and cgi. It’s more like shoving acids and razor blades into your eyes tbh.
.
Imagine building entire motorized cities, but the best minds who build these amazing feats of engineering, can’t build anything that can sustain the already declining human population in this movie’s universe
Like a goddamned garden

The amount of energy it must require to move one city could have powered 10 static ones. Hell... make it 10 very large hydroponic farms

@@raven4k998imagine city battles
I remember reading the entire book series of this and seeing the movie. I ended up hating it because they changed the ending so it can’t have a working sequel. Not just that, but Shrike had a more proper character arc and survived longer and even was revived, Valentine got redeemed before he died, and all of London was destroyed which was a big part of the series, and Anna’s death was much more emotional
Yeah, they really ruined things for the film.
Expectations kill enjoyment...
Like Stat wars, trek, marvel dc fans.
Hell.. fans of bands hate if they do new stuff, hate if they do the same ol
Tom: "Innocent Londoners should not die."
Kwan: "I missed the part where that's my problem."

Fires Medusa first anyway

They made a religion about minions. I can't let them die.

Pandora is a girl in greek mythology who was given a box. She was told not to open the box but eventually did on curiosity. The box released many bad spirits. The name pandora in the story and along with the box makes me think this has something to do with it.
It was actually one of the small things that the original author put in and I’m surprised people actually thought about this.
This Pandora had a bad spirit stopper. Kept all the bad boom boom spirits inside the box.

This is one of my favorite movies! I was having a hard time in my life when this came out and I wanted to see it so bad when I seen a trailer and then the turmoil came and years later I finally came across it randomly and it was fantastic. A bit long and a few parts I would have changed but I love it!
Valentine:
"So I want to use the thing that quite literally destroyed the world, I swear it won't go wrong, I'm just going to use it on the city with full supplies and it definitely will not go wrong "
Everyone: ...
Being honest, it seemed to have like a fraction of the power the weapon actually had. Remember it was a Quantum Weapon, it needed much more energy.
To his point, it probably did destroy some of the supplies. I weapon I mean
Yeah.. In the book it's the other head guy that is actually the main villain, and he's portrayed as a lunatic by the end basically and that's why the use of the weapon makes no sense
it wasn’t just medusa that destroyed the world. a bigger part was the odin weapons platform
Yeah and when he uses the world ending weapon, it barely breaks the wall down.

If you have ever played the game borderlands, and the mining exovator base at the end of the game, this is esentially what a "major city" would be, and likely would have to be built off of one of these masive towers.
Keep in mind though, that this machine is a MINING DEVICE, along with most of the other massive trucks and automobiles, with refining equipment and facilities taking up massive amounts of space, and typically being incredibly slow moving.
All of this means that the big cities would constantly be being attacked by -THE SUBERBS, wich is an exactly acurate depiction of real life urban darwinism.
All of this
imagine the small city having a cannon on it turning and firing on the bigger city that would be a game changer then🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m actually reading Mortal Engines rn, and I can tell you this, they changed pretty much how the entire movie plays out. The premise is the same, but the movie plays out differently.
I remember reading this book 1 or 2 yrs ago and it sent shivers up my spine how you tube recommendations are so accurate
Shrike's and hester"s father and daughter type of relationship was actually really heartwarming..
All he ever wanted is to see her find happiness and someone to love..
On the surface lvl he seemed pretty scary but it turned out he cared a lot about her..
Oh yeah for sure, trying to kill Hester cause she's unhappy is a very heartwarming father-daughter relationship 😂
I love my daughter.
Hence, in order to help her overcome his sadness I will make her like me and if she refuses I must kill her.
Yup sounds great. 😃
@@MaxAethon i think thats just because he was made that way, as a killing machine. He tried to supress that feeling to help Hester
It's trying to kill her and turn her into a cyborg. That's the best way to protect her in his eyes

If anyone doesn’t know, this is actually based on a book series of the same name, by Philip Reeve, and I strongly suggest reading it, as it is way better than the movie.

I forgot the whole concept of driving cities about 10 minutes in I can only imagine how quickly I would have forgotten it in the movie.
thanks for sharing
My feeling towards this movie is exactly my feeling towards steampunk in general: aesthetically interesting but it falls apart quickly under any kind of logical examination.
I dont care for logical examination, generally, retrofuturism does not aims for that. But what infuriates me in the majority of steampunk works is that they only aim for the steam and victorian part, and forgot the punk, like, where is my dystopian futuristic first revolution world? Basically that.
If you do not understand something, tell me, because english isnt my mother language so sometimes I can not articulate words too well.
@@Palguim i agree
Basically not many people complains that science in star wars makes no sense, so why they complain at steampunk?
And about punk part. I would love to see a movie about french revolution, or Soviet, or any revolution with high steampunk technology. How it would affect daily love and stuff
It is a fictional story

Honestly, the end was disappointing. And the relationship between the cyborg and Heter was useless and emotionless. I hype every movie, serie, anime and TV show, even the most hated ones by the major public, but this ones was not It, chief :/
I've seen the movie and you explained it pretty well 🤗
I remember reading the trilogy back when I was younger (4-6 years ago), I saw that they were going to make a movie based off the first book. Even though I remember being really excited about it and wanted to watch it when it would come out- I completely forgot about the whole series and the movie-in the making.
Learning that it came out quite a while ago, I'm surprised that I never heard anything about it earlier. But seeing clips and this summary of the movie, I'm glad that it majorly looks exactly what was being described in the book!! Everything looks just the same from what I imagined, it makes me happy ^^

I love this movie I have watched it 3 times. Its always good to have recap Thank you
I remember watching this in cinemas, and the 'decent' reviews I think are totally justified, I feel it had awkward character writing, with not much character development, and storyline is also meh, but the visuals, war scenes and premise are AMAZING imo
My father filmed a lot of it!
True. The story itself wasn't all that good but the visuals within the film made up for it.
Yeah, currently reading the second book and I wish they had made more of these
I watched it in cinema with my friends who just dont give sh¡t about character, plot etc.. and we enjoyed it a lot. Its fun that way.

The Mortal Engines series is my favorite of all time. The movie wasn't great, but I'm glad is captured what I loved about the books: The image of huge mechanical cities. The writer of Mortal Engines really had this way of describing them. If you found this movie interesting then read the books, they are a lot better and some of the best parts of the books were cut out for the movie (more dialogue with Shrike, etc)
Another great series bye the same author that I would reccomend is larklight
