Mortal Engine isn’t just plain thriller destruction within a city, but a cinematic depicting a post apocalypse era — where cities are shown mounted on wheels and struggling as fighters for survival assets for thousands of years past a cataclysmic event.
Mortal Engines is an adaptation of Philip Reeve’s bestseller from 2001. A cinematic showing London as a massive predator tackling wars against small rebellious cities on the track.
