Jesus B It's a postapocalyptic world and, in my opinion, a much better movie than that MadMax crap people always hype. I liked the premise of cities built to move around and the way they gathered resources. I also liked the fact there were no Hollywood kisses in here like it is now so usual in movies, and that Shrike character among other aspects I won't delve into as to not write anything that'd be considered a spoiler. That said, this movie could have easily been delivered as two separate movies or even been extended to a trilogy and would have been great. However, due to it being done in a single film, the movie feels rushed and nonsensycal at times, but still a good experience. Can't say I regret watching and would totally recommend it for people who like postapocalyptic stories. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Hughe J Mortal Engines was released in theatres in 2018 and is based on the novel of the same name. It's set on post apocalyptic Earth 1000 years after a war that is never explained where for some reason big cities drive around and eat smaller cities; yes that's the plot. Hugo Weaving stars in this alongside a cast of diverse and angsty twenty somethings whose names I don't remember. There's a lot of different groups, gangs, people, to learn but basically it's your typical sci-fi tropes of good vs evil, strong vs weak, rich vs poor and so forth. Honestly the plot was silly, the acting was terrible, and the SFX varied from pretty good to pretty bad. Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) wrote this which was surprising considering how bored I was watching this compared to how much I enjoyed the LOTR trilogy. Overall this was a confusing mess that lost the studio somewhere between $150 to $200 million dollars so it wasn't just me that didn't care for it. Only watch this if you're really into steampunk sci-fi movies. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Ryan U A devastatingly bad take on one of the greatest stories ever told Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Audience Member Wat een kut film. 2 uur van m'n leven. Idee was leuk. Effecten waren goed. Acting was oke. Verhaal lijn all over the place, plot compleet out the Window de helft van de tijd, plot armor on 100% all of the time. Plaat gefilmd en dan audio erover gooien alsof het niet uit maakt wat de ervaring is. 1000 detours en blow it all up one at a time. Meer plot twists dan de twister plotter en je ziet ze allemaal aankomen. Het gaf me het gevoel dat bijna iedereen kei hard zn werk deed en de schrijvers en directie en weet ik veel wie nog meer misschien een finale cut editer ofzo die hadden zoiets van ik wil naar huis want die waren dronken van een kater die ze probeerde weg te drinken en de kater was nog niet weg. Ik wil dat Netflix een review section heeft waar je alles kan afzeiken waarvan je kijkers ervaring naar de tering gaat want dan heb ik eindelijk een plek waar ik ze direct kan vertellen dat meer paars niet perse de zelfde waarde heeft als inhoud. Fuck deze film. Ik raad aan dat je 'm kijkt zodat je 'm ook 1 ster kan geven en mee kan leven in mijn pijn. Maar die 2 uur krijg je nooit meer terug. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Hex x Really cool movie, unfortunately not like the books though. A lot of the character development is left behind in favor of the visuals. It's super exciting to see as a movie though, if you already know the characters from the book. For a big example, Anna Fang and her group, you don't even learn the NAMES of her friends until mid-battle in the movie. Anyone who only watched the movie misses a lot of the impact of certain scenes and certain events. But the visuals are stunning (minus Shrike). Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Frans B Rivers did good here. Never mind the book, this is a movie. It's meant to be visually stunning, and it is. Cinematography is great, all actors do very well in cast, story leaves a little to the imagination, as it should. Great action and enough twists. Just nice to watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
