Lem, see Mortal Engines (Lem).

Mortal Engines is a young-adult science fiction fantasy novel by Philip Reeve,

published by Scholastic UK in 2001. The book focuses on a futuristic, steampunk version of
London, now a giant machine striving to survive on a world running out of resources.

Mortal Engines is the first book of a series, Mortal Engines Quartet, published from 2001

CHAPTER III

CLOSING

A. Conclusion

Mortal Engines, a movie with a fantasy action genre with a story of resistance a group of people
in times of chaos of the Earth.The Film is told to be a chaotic Earth story from the nuclear war between
America and China. This chaos resulted in misery to the people of the world.There is a difference in earth
life, namely small town and big city. Both have different distinctive traits and not the same community
characters.

However, what sets it apart is that Mortal Engines have the power to showcase their own fantasy
fantasies. Moreover, the film is adapted from the novel by Philip Reeve which is called able to divide the
his stories neatly, surprising by conflict and how he poured his fantasy in a collection of writings.

However, all of Philip Reeve's writings have been able to be well-transformed by Christian
Rivers. In addition to the screenwriter and producer the film is named after Peter Jackson. Successful
people build a fantasy audience with films like The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit or The
Adventures of Tintin. It is well adapted throughout the film.

Viewers will be pampered with an overview of how a city moves with engine power and large
wheels. Fantasy about the destruction of the Earth to the clothing and culture that occurs after the human
life no longer regularly served quite well.

B. Suggestion

The film’s critiques are unimaginative, tutting at how territories attack first in order to
consolidate power, as well as the spectacle of war itself, bystanders crowding the balconies of
the ship-like city, shrieking as guns and lasers fire at the wastelands below.
