Through a series of exciting and dramatic events, this movie follows two young, Tom who doesn't know where to go after the apocalypse, and Hester, the masked girl who seeks behind the murderer of her mother. When the fate puts them at the same way, they change their plans and they begin to think about rescuing the remaining cities of the world.
One of the most impressive examples of "world building" in recent years, surpassing such contenders as Valerian, Cloud Atlas, and even the recent Star Wars episodes.
This should've been amazing. Even the ending owes itself to another film...it feels like a bunch of movies we've seen before, that are better than this.
The plot is both daft and derivative, and the commonplace YA elements end up overtaking the welcome WTF moments by the end. But the world-building is spectacular and almost makes this worth the price of admission.
This big budget, effects-laden movie about a strange post-apocalyptic world where predator cities roll around on tank-like treads looks great, but the story of romance and revenge is just barely adequate.
Visually, it's busy, hefty and propulsive, but emotionally and thematically, it's as light as air. These engines could have used a bit more in the tank.
