A massive catastrophe devastated the earth, but humanity has adapted to its new environment. Giant metropolises on wheels rose from the rubble of submerged civilization. In search of the last resources they drive over the dry steppe and mercilessly devour the smaller towns. One of the big cities is London as one of the most powerful rolling colossi. In this relentless fight, the inconspicuous Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan) meets the dangerous fugitive Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar) in a fateful encounter - two opposites collide, two people whose paths should never cross each other. They forge a surprising alliance that could determine the progress of human history. I do not understand why this has received so many negative reviews. It was about what I expected, given the trailer. The special effects, costumes and set designs are excellent and the screenplay was typical Jackson, Walsh, Boyens writing. I have not read the book and therefore did not compare the movie to the book and that I think is the major problem people are having. Those that read the book are wanting a movie that matches what they read. This is the same problem some folks had with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. If you have not read the book, I believe you will enjoy this fantasy adventure.

Censor Rating: PG-13 - Review rating: B+
