Mortal Engines

Mortal Engines is a really creative post apocalyptic film. The special effects and sheer imagination of  was great here.  The producer (Peter Jackson) and New Zealand team that made The Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit films are responsible for bringing this novel by Philip Reeve to life.  There's nothing really overly standoutish about the film.  There are certainly elements of Star Wars and The Matrix that are easily observable, as well as relevant political and social cautionary notes integral to the story.  On that note and to it's credit, the cast is pretty good and diverse.  I especially enjoyed Korean singer Jihae's cool character.
