Mortal Engines 2018

I haven't read the book, so I can't speak to accuracy and I don't know how much was from the book and how much was movie license. The problem with this movie is that there is too much going on but none of it is fully developed so we end up jumping around. I get it, its hard to get all those details in (hence the reason so many books are broken into multiple movies) but its worth it to take the time. Otherwise you have a romance where wisty glances somehow become love in 20 mins with no developing the relationship. Where they jump from one battle to the next, all of them over in 5-10 minutes, with a then predictable ending. This is why movies based in books get a bad rap. They either try to do too much and fail or they end up cutting essential details and are never fully developed.
