- GoofsTom chases Hester through flame and smoke while Salzhaken is being demolished by London, falls down the chute and is partially buried in mud, which prevents him from being seen by Valentine's airship, trudged thorough mud for a day and night, ends up in a crude cell on the Scuttelbug, is sold as a slave the next day, is chased by Shrike and climbs a rope to Anna Fang's airship - but his clothes remain impeccably clean and he has no beard stubble.
- Quotes

Hester Shaw: You're going to kill me?
Shrike: For a little while.

Featured review
Its like Howls moving castel, Fury roads and The hunger games combined
First things first, I was lucky enough to be able to go to the pre-premier in Amsterdam and watched the movie in IMAX and I highly recomand watching it in this format.
Basicly what you are watching is a movie that almost seems to aim to be the next terrible tween trilogy. But... the story is not half bad. Filled with plotholes, obnoxious characters and refusing to explain just WHY THEY HAVE TO DRIVE THEIR CITIES!? but overall enjoyable.
The true attrection however is the scenery and boy is it worth it. The cities look amazing, the planes, buildings and everything in the film is dressed to impress. It made me want to crawl through the screen and just marvel at the beauty of it all.
So yeah! The movie is kinda like watching an anime like Howls moving castle without subtitles. I have no idee what they are trying to say but it sure looks nice.
