Hubby and I didn’t want to watch Mortal Engines because the preview looked horrible.
However, I have a soft spot for steampunk, so I checked it out from the library, figuring we could suffer through it.
Surprise, it’s a good movie. Not a great movie, but it’s visually interesting with a solid plot. We enjoyed it.
As I often do when watching movies, I googled to see if it was based on a book. Sure enough, it was. Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve is book one in the Mortal Engines Quartet. The other three are Predator’s Gold, Infernal Devices, and A Darkling Plain. The book is probably better than the movie, so I’m adding it to my TBR pile.
If you like futuristic dystopian movies with a steampunk flair, I recommend Mortal Engines. I’ll let you know how the books are later.
Have you read any Neal Stephenson?
