Mortal Engines's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
In short, it's a long-arc revenge tale fitted out with very elaborate effects, courtesy of Weta Digital, and characters that are moderately decent company but hardly compelling.
Indiewire
A derivative steampunk fantasy that feels like a cross between 'Fury Road' and 'Final Fantasy', 'Mortal Engines' isn't good, but it sure is huge.
Empire
It rips a few too many pages from familiar playbooks, but when it indulges in its own weirdness this film casts off those heavy caterpillar tracks and soars.
USA Today
Peter Jackson's 'Mortal Engines' dazzles with spectacle, falls flat with character.
The Guardian
Jackson has turned Philip Reeve?s dystopian adventure novel into a tiringly frenetic and derivative fantasy-adventure movie
The Telegraph
A mechanical, soulless dystopian theme park ride to nowhere.
Variety
The movie devolves from promising to unwieldy, then baffling, then exhausting, then finally unintentionally hysterical.
