The Mortal Engines Honest Trailer.

Brutal, but presumably fair. I didn’t actually see Mortal Engines, and apparently neither did almost anybody else. I probably should have, but this Honest Trailer raises a compelling argument as to why I was probably right not to, all along.

…And a part of me is going ‘Dammit.’ It was, perhaps, just not gonzo enough.

  1. MOE YOU CAN’T JUST POST SOMETHING THAT CONTAINS “HE-MIONE DANGER”. SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN DRINKING THINGS.

  2. I didn’t bother because the trailers reminded me of the infuriating mobile cities in John Carter. I’m still not quite over that.

  3. The premise is much too silly to be taken so seriously.
    The only way I could see it working in a visual medium, is making it even more ridculously gonzo, and playing it for deadpan humor.
    With lampshades,lampshades everywhere!

    1. Yep ..

      Note to Hollywood – if you’re trying to appeal to nerd-culture .. maybe hire some *nerds* to explain how this stuff should be done?

  4. If I can watch this on a streaming service with drink in hand, it might be fun to watch. If not, this trailer will suffice.

    1. As long as you shut off your willing suspension of disbelief and make–and, more difficultly, keep–a promise not to yell at the dumb stuff, it was actually kind of fun.
