Yep'. Sounds interesting. And I'm really curious to see how the design of everything looks. Motorized cities sounds complex to show on screen.

I figured once the trailer played in the theater, it would get officially released but I can't find it. Guess I'll have to watch The Last Jedi again to see it.

Visually it reminds me a bit of Now and Then Here and There ... if it were shot as a Mad Max movie.

Ehhh. I can't say that trailer did much for me. Felt a little too Sky Captain.

Unless I miss it, I didn't see Stephen Lang in the trailer. I presume it a minor role?

Not looking good.
I may still check it out. But with all the new releases coming out it’s a low priority.

My sister asked if this was in any way part of the Mortal Instruments series. So yeah, this is pretty much DOA.

I was tired and distracted during the movie, and I don't think I can give it an honest assessment right now. I am actually considering seeing it again, because I lost track of what was going on. The special effects were great, though.
