The science in Mortal Engines has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Mortal Engines has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Mortal Engines is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Mortal Engines actually is?
Just got out of Mortal Engines and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Mortal Engines?
Director clearly thought Mortal Engines was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in Mortal Engines is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Mortal Engines last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
