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.
