Sinopsis(1)
Hace miles de años, un cataclismo destruyó la civilización tal y como la conocemos hoy en día. La humanidad se ha tenido que adaptar a esta nueva era post-apocalíptica, desarrollando un nuevo estilo de vida. Ahora la amenaza son unas ciudades móviles gigantes que asedian sin piedad poblaciones menores. Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan) es un ciudadano procedente de un nivel inferior de la gran ciudad móvil de Londres que tendrá que luchar por su propia supervivencia tras encontrarse con la peligrosa fugitiva Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). Dos polos opuestos, cuyos senderos nunca debieron cruzarse y que forjan una alianza destinada a cambiar el futuro de la humanidad. (Universal Pictures España)

Una farsa multicultural refundida de proporciones colosales, en la que la maraña de personajes y motivaciones secundarias hace imposible mantener la atención en la línea dramática principal. Y, desde luego, no en su experiencia emocional, tan bien esbozada en el prometedor inicio. Es una pena, porque el mundo de fantasía de la película y su riqueza visual no tiene límites, y Junkie XL tiene un motivo al que le va bien la pantalla grande al estilo de Ben Hur. Es difícil saber si está ligado al guión, a la dirección o a ambos, pero viniendo de Peter Jackson y de todo el equipo de El Señor de los Anillos, este tropiezo es bastante sorprendente.

Interesting world, uninteresting movie. London running on tracks through the rest of Europe and devouring smaller towns is quite nice, but unfortunately it is surrounded by an uninteresting story that its director cannot tell attractively. There’s lots of dead-end plot lines, mediocrely shot action and visuals that one moment are breathtaking and a scene later look like something out of a TV series. On top of that, the protagonists are boring, the plot is hackneyed; in fact, I'm quite surprised that this particular banality, which lays out all its trump cards in the opening "city" chase, has anything to do with Peter Jackson. And I'm not happy about it.

Steampunk Star Wars? Dream on. It’s a wannabe soft version of Mad Max, a malnourished Hunger Games, and a crappy copycat of the Wachowski sisters with totally incompetent direction, overstuffed visuals, half-dead actors and a lot of horribly bad scripting. I haven't seen a film this dysfunctional in a long time.

A big, expensive post-apocalyptic fantasy, a mix of multiple films and a dream project for Peter Jackson, who unfortunately only produced it, and that's a shame because if he had taken over directing it would have been much more interesting. Visually the film is solid and all the VFX attractions on screen look nice, there are more than enough interesting ideas and there is always something going on so there is no danger of boredom, thankfully. But I did mind that it was too slick and bloodless, it would definitely have benefited from a dirtier package and it also needed a better villain and more interesting main characters. Those who like films like this could easily give cinema a try. I didn't regret spending my money, but I didn't take away too much from the experience. 60%

The opening scenes of the film promised an excellent spectacle, but... Everything I liked about it soon faded away and the only thing left were dull stares, ineffective play on emotions, frequent racing against time and a Star Wars rip-off, which was only missing Admiral Ackbar’s famous line: "It's a trap!" Otherwise, there was an attack on the Death Star and a duel between the father and son (actually, a daughter), complete with gender equality and multi-cultural interconnectedness under Dalai Lama’s supervision. Not to mention all that self-sacrifice. It's a shame that the creators managed to completely bury the idea which had so much potential.

A film in which nothing at all works. It’s nice that it’s action-packed from start to finish, but the whole thing is absolute chaos. A boring plot and setting, with way too many storylines none of which reach a satisfactory ending. Most actors do not fit into their roles, and to make things even worse, the dialogues are simply pathetic. Whoever at Universal approved the 100-million budget should get themselves checked up. Totally confusing and an undeniable flop.
