Mortal Engines (2018)

I was immediately impressed with the slick Transformer/Voltron-like way in which the mobile cities came apart and back together. I almost wanted to watch that part in slow motion just to see the realistic detail that went into making these effects. The concept and aesthetic vision they were going for was achieved, which is quite impressive.

Taking the story and acting out of the equation, I enjoyed watching this film just for the execution of the future dystopian steampunk vision come to life. With that said, the story and acting were ok. Reminded me of Mad Max on steroids.

Rating: C+

Eagle vs Shark (2007)

A quirky New Zealand film with great music, odd characters, and uncomfortable scenes. I enjoyed it in the sense that I enjoy watching atypical films. Far from a classic though.

Rating: C

30 Days Of Night (2007)

Pretty decent as far as vampire movies go. They took a simple idea and fleshed out an entire film from it. Very gory. I kept having flashbacks of Kill Bill. You could do much worse in looking for a scary movie.
