Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original novel mentioned plastic idols of Walt Disney's Mickey and Pluto, "the animal-headed gods of lost America" in the London History Museum. This film, being made by Universal, instead has plastic idols of Despicable Me (2010)'s Minions.
- GoofsWhen Hester and Tom are rescued by the old couple in the centipede-like craft, they share a small room. Hester, while lying on her back, shares her sad life story. A tear rolls down her cheek, but, given the horizontal position she's in, this would be impossible. The tear should roll pass the side of her face.
- Quotes
Shrike: I can remake you, just as I was remade.
Hester Shaw: You're going to kill me?
Shrike: For a little while.
- Crazy creditsThe Universal logo shows the Sixty Minute War occurring across the Earth.

Featured review
Pretentious piece of garbage
If it was a B movie, would be 2 or even 3 out of 10 I guess.
But no, this piece of absolute garbage, full of cliches and cringy dialogues, demands to be taken seriously.. Funny..
It is like a Frankenstein's monster, built up ugly with the most overused, most unintelligent shreds of plots, worlds and characters from other steampunk/sci-fi works.
They didn't even forgot to implement nowadays' "politically correct" trends here: Bad europeans / good asians, toxic white males and strong, morally right diverse females to please SJW audience. Yay!
Didn't help though.
What a pity to see Peter Jackson's degradation from LotR and District 9 to Hobbit and this one.
Not a big surprise it's financial failing and mostly negative feedback from audience and critics.
