About this movie

Visionary filmmaker Peter Jackson presents a startling new adventure unlike any you've seen before. Hundreds of years after our civilization was destroyed, a new world has emerged. A mysterious young woman named Hester Shaw leads a band of outcasts in the fight to stop London – now a giant predator city on wheels – from devouring everything in its path.

Ratings and reviews

Lots of fun. Visually top notch. The world building is excellent. Kind of a lot crammed into the plot. Good acting by some great talent but a better director could have gotten more out of a great cast. Would make a great streaming series. Worth the rental for a little escape time.

I really like this movie, had not heard about it nor seen any trailers for it. A friend had actually randomly recommended it and i watched it several times since, i liked it that much. Thought it had an original story line, living on moving cities apon monstrous engine was cool.

Sure, it's a niche film and a lot of people won't enjoy the post-apocalyptic steampunk setting. But let's face it-- those people are boring, and you don't want to be like them. Definitely worth the rental. Would watch a sequel if there was one.
