-Hesters scar -The guild of engineers were bald, and the tattoos -Basically everything about Bevis Pod and Katherine -Katherine dying -Hester realizing -Katherine was her half-sister -Tom being traumatized after killing the pilots at the end and watching all of London explode -All of London exploding - a ton of meaningful characterization and chemistry between characters that made the books so good

1. Valentine being the villain 2. Valentine killing Crome instead of being scared of him 3. Kate living 4. No Dog. 5. Pod living... and barely being a character. 6. The wall being destroyed 7. Air haven being destroyed. 8. No pirates 9. London not blowing up. 10. Valentine mission to destroy the fleet... I would give it an in name only adaptation.

SPOILERS .Kathrine was supposed to die at the end of the film... .london was supposed to completely blown up .London in the books didn't get really close to the wall as it did in the film

Things I spotted wrong in the movie? Oh where oh where to begin... 1 Hester’s scar 2 the fact that Valentine wasn’t on London for most of the book 3 the fact that crome is the real villain in the end and valentine was actually afraid of him 4 the shield wall is never hit by Medusa 5 there is no kill key and Medusa was shut down by accident 6 shrike never had a change of heart 7 air haven was not destroyed 8 valentine chooses to die after killing Katherine himself albeit on accident 9 it is not revealed by valentine that Hester is his daughter 10 Tom never wanted to be an aviator and in fact idolized valentine even after he pushed Tom out of London and wanted nothing more than to be a historian 11 the way in which things happen in the book generally does not match the movie 12 Tom Hester and the entire anti tractionist league did not really know what Medusa was and as a result the anti tractionist league refused to help in the final battle and even believed it to be Tom and Hester who had killed Anna 13 dog exists in the books 14 bevis pod doesn’t survive and is a much more important character in the books 15 the engeneers are all bald, even the women 16 Tom and Hester are 15 17 the pirates weren’t in the movie at all 18 valentine destroyed the anti tractionist leagues airships before they could ever launch 19 London is completely destroyed 20 the historians rebel against the engineers resulting in most of their deaths 21 there are more stalkers than shrike in the books though, having brains made by the London engineers rather than the ancients like shrikes was, they cannot really think for themselves as stalkers like shrike an Anna can 22 and so so so much more but I’m tired of typing, the only real similarity between the book and the movie is the name and the books are so much better, easily in my top 5 book series

Anna Fang looks different in the book (white and black hair, red teeth), Katherine is described as brunette, engineers are bold (they chemicaly remove their hair)... Even I have not seen film yet, just trailer.

The ships. In the Books they are actully airships with propellers and in the movie they are freking sci fi jet planes

I don't know why people are shocked by the scar no way would they make the female lead ugly in any way

In the book they constantly talk about how ugly Hester is and how the scar is her defining feature.

imagine how good this couldve been if they made it a netflix series instead of cramming it into a movie

I'm lowkey disappointed with Hesters desing, i thought that she was supposed to have a terrific disfigurating scar across her face but instead we got a little scratch in the cheek-jaw area. I think that they could have done better with it

Insider: tell us something different that we missed in the comments. Me: THE ENTIRE STORY!!!!

SPOILERS: in the end of the book, london is completely destroyed. in the movie its just shut down. in the later books, london creates a smaller traction town which can fly. not destroying london, i feel, removes some of that potential to build this second version of london in later movies. edit: hester and tom should have kissed at the end instead of hugging. i know shrike said 'you love him' to hester but it feels slightly like they didn't acknowledge hester and toms relationship in the movie

the book is better EDIT:Thanks for the likes didn't expect this

Noticed a difference!? Maybe that they completely butchered the end of the story of the first book!! They changed so much that the whole story didn’t make sense anymore and they can’t follow the story of the other books!

One difference is the way London was destroyed. In the Book, Katherine gets shoved across Medusa's control panel, and it overloads. No one knows how to stop it. It explodes and turns London into a radioactive wreck. Katherine dies, and there is no place for her in future stories. The remaining inhabitants of London, at least some of them, don't go to Batmunk Gompha, they stay in London and build a tiny little levitating city called New London. Its important to the Ending of the series that this is made.

They completely missed out on Bevis and Katherine's relationship and they didn't feature as much as in the books, let alone the ending!

The real question should be :What is the same? The movie was nearly an entirely different story. I saw the movie first and I liked it. I still like it, but I LOVE the books.

In the book Bevis is bald and also he and Katherine meet in different circumstances. The mayor and other tractionists have a guildmark on their foreheads. Valentine and Chrome's intentions were swapped and chrome was the one who ordered the construction of the MEDUSA. In the Book it was Katherine who activated the kill-Switch etc

Oh I don't know, you forgot about... *THE WHOLE SCENE IN THE BOOK WHERE THEY BLOW UP... Traktionstad… sglaff.. SOME GERMAN CITY!*

It would make a shorter list to say all the things they kept the same... Awesome book. Terrible film. That writer woman looked so chuffed with herself for getting Anna Fang's real name into the film, yet couldn't get Anna Fang's character or the plot of the book into the film. I'm not a expert, but I'm pretty sure that's more important...

Tunbridge wheelers was not in the film, and the wall was not made out of red and rusty looking stone, but was actually made of black volcanic roak.

oh, this looks epic

They could have least given her an eye patch or just removed the the eye via cgi.

Some things in the book, different from the movie: -Tom was never a "pilot in training" -HYDRA was never actually used on the Shield Wall -London used HYDRA on an even bigger traction-city that was hunting London -Shrike didn't collect dolls. -Hester's character was alot darker and meaner. -Hester was going to let Shrike kill her after all. -Tom was the one to kill Shrike, and Hester got mad. -There was no silly "kill switch" flash drive thingy. -Katherine accidentally sets off HYDRA's self-destruct. -Katherine dies saving Hester from Valentine's sword. -Valentine actually SAVES Tom and Hester, let's himself be killed when HYDRA self-destructs. -Valentine doesn't have Robocop's handgun. -There is no "Inkie", sadly. Lots more that I could list, but this is already too long.

I always imagined Shrike as some kind of Doctor Doom.

Wait... ... *_IS DOG NOT IN THE MOVIE?!_*

Nice vid

1. They left out lots of traction cities (In the books, Panzerstadt-bayreuth tried to eat london, Speedwell was a proper town (not a caterpillar machine thing), Arkangel was mentioned at Airhaven and there was a "pirate" suburb called Tunbridge wheels). 2. They messed up the proportions (the shield-wall should've been a lot bigger and Salthook wasn't a town, so much as a big house on wheels). 3. They completely changed certain characters for the sake of looking good/convenience (In the books, Chudleigh Pomeroy was an old English man, Hester's scar took off her nose and right eye and Captain Khora was African-American, not Indian).

The age difference between the book and the movie really pissed me off

I loved this film. Understand why people don’t and I will admit the books are way better, but it’s not deserving of being called on of the worst of 2018 and I think if Peter Jackson had a more prominent role behind the scenes, then any sequels made could really shine

Well, kinda half of the plot was different, but more than anything: they didn't make engineers bald....

During the whole Movie i thought they were saying Shrek instead of shrike!

This is nostalgic

Cough cough what about PanzerstadtBayreuth not being in the film. It was crucial in the books for making London not seem like a bad city.

I hope we get a sequel based on the other books in the mortal engines series

There was a lot more than that indifferences. Spoiler warning * The resurrection project in London was removed. The meeting of valentines daughter and natsworthy. The Medusa conspiracy in London. (That was sorta there). The pirate town was removed. And valentine was made more villainous in the movie. Over all the movie was a good story. And I understand due to budget and time, they could not add in it all. But some of it could of been done so that it could smoothly lead to a sequel if that happens. Now there will be some plot holes if a sequel is made in following of the books.

By far i think the books are better than the movie, for example, the book Wonder about Auggie Polman

Katherine's wolf is missing, tumbridge wheels is missing, how Shrike is set losed is different, Valentine is made the main villain instead of magnus. However all of these were made to hone in on a better cinematic exprience and the film is awesome and breathtakingly stunning to look at.

This was my favourite book series. I've read quite a few books but I've never read ones that make me read the whole Quartet in the course of a week. I've never binge read a book series like I binge watch a TV show before but this series made it happen. Although, in the fourth one I spent the first third of the book yelling where's Hester then spend the second third yelling I want my Tom and Hester reunion then felt a little dissatisfied that she never saw Wren again. But, I didn't even bother to watch the movie because I saw from the trailer that they took out everything that was good about the books.

You could use this stuff that like tightens your skin to creat the scar

What's the name of the music playing throughout the video. I neeeed it!

-Shrike is actually Grike -Anna has red teeth -Salzhaken is Salthook

-turn bridge wheels (might not be right name can't remember) -Panzerstadt - Pandora was an anti tractionist who wanted to sell the Medusa brain to the league. -Tom and Hester escaping air haven in a balloon -Air haven was not destroyed. -They immediately new about M.E.D.U.S.A which stands for something as they had dots in between each letter. -Everyone thought MEDUSA was made by the USA as the kill switch had the second half of the word. -Valentine blew up the air fleet and stabbed Anna fang through the neck . there are more I can't remember.

Hester and Tom should have kissed at the end instead of hugging :(

Shrike was frightening! It was the best part of the film.

Why was Catherine kept alive? She supposedly died in the cathedral at the end of the book

*London has fallen...* *now London has risen* 😂

Do about Harry Potter It will be fun

Well I mean London didn’t explode in the film which is quite a big thing

i never read the books before but this seems interesting

the books are actually fire. i need to read those.

Making a movie from a book is always a major problem. A book is too long for a single movie. Lord of the rings needed three movies and even they had to cut a lot out. To convert a novel into a single movie requires a lot to be cut out, Logan’s Run is a classic example. As far as I can work out the movie makes an epic attempt to cover the entire first book, no choice I suppose, because none of the story arc’s within the novel was good suitable for a standalone movie. The result is normally bad pacing. Ghost in the Shell is a good movie but they lost all the feel of the original source material because they had to rush it. I am guessing this is what has occurred here. I do not like the novel very much and generally am not too keen about steam-punk, but I can appreciate it. As the critics have panned this movie and the fans indicate its acceptable, I am going to watch this one. I still love John Carter, great movie and enjoy watching Ghost in the Shell, not as great but good nonetheless. I can never forgive the critics for panning both when they first came out. Lesson here is, only believe the critics if their score is similar to the fans, otherwise only believe the fans/audience. 50% is good enough for me.

Wow!

cool

Airhaven looks different in the book and isn’t destroyed, it just had to land to make repairs but in the movie it gets completely demolished.

The whole Tunbridge Wheels part, the whole panzerstadt-bayreuth part and air haven didn’t explode, it landed for repairs

the fact that in the movie they leave out the whole part about the pirate town

The biggest difference between the Mortal Engines book and the movie: the book has sequels, but the movie never will. Whether you think that's good or bad is entirely up to how you feel about the movie.

Seriously, while they are at it we should also make a movie adaption of The Hunchback of Notre Dame where Quasimodo looks perfect and is handsome. This makes me so pissed (nothing against the actor but directors)

I am so anoyed that the city that London blew up with MESUSA isnt in the film

I just saw Aquaman then sneaked into Mortal Engines with a friend. Why didn't I pay for Mortal Engines! I feel so bad. lol I get the feeling Hayao Miyazaki might of been some of the inspiration in the book. I think another good movie is going to be #AlitaBattleAngel

After watching the movie first and finishing the first book yesterday... Alright. There is a lot they changed for the movie. Some in a good way, some in a bad way. Chrome's character was an unnecessary change honestly, so was Hester. But, the fact that they cut the entire part with Tunbridge Wheels and Panzerstadt-Bayreuth makes sense if you don't look at it in vacuum. The audiobook is 9 hours or so. They had to cut content. Nobody would go and watch a 4 hour movie (well, nobody did anyway). It was not a perfect adaptation of a book, far from it, but it also is very far from the worst I have seen. Most of the plot points are there. The way Hester gets onto London, how Tom prevents her from killing Valentine, slave market, Airhaven, London's destruction. Overall, I would recommend both. Could have they done better? Sure they could. Is it absolutely awful? Nope, not even close.

Best

Movie Hester is Nimrod Pennyroyal’s Hester.

Anyone else both amused and disappointed that they pulled the standard 'Starwars' at the end? I know people like to play on those scenes, but come on!

Hester's scar reminds me of Tina Fey's scar. both hot.

No ressources? Green fields full of green plants waiting to be cultivated... and still - the cities oh wheels are smashing all the food when driving over them...

I wished we got a real adaptation, but I doubt they'll remake it to be more faithful to the books. I also want to see a real Fever Crumb adaptation at some point... Fever is by far my favourite mortal engines character.

Can they make warriors(the cats) into a MOVIE PLZ!!!

i liked the minions part

On the trailers there was no magnus chrome. It was like valentine and chrome morphed into the same character.

Dose the movie have dr Twix? If not who makes the new stackers?

The story is the biggest change

Anna Fang was actually a brown haired woman and she had long locks of hair.

Hester didn't actually hit Valentine with the knife in the book Tom blocked to knife before Hester did stab Valentine in the book

This is going to be so epic. No matter what!!

it's good as a movie i reckon i havent read the book but ive watched the movie (ik its bad whatever dont attack me for that) for someone who hasnt read the book its a good movie

Is this movie related to the immortal engines city of bones?

HESTER SCAR WASNT IMPACTFUL ENOUGH??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA UNBELIEVABLE

OMG there are more interenting differences than Anna Fang and Shrike's characters... what about the whole ending of mortal engines.. london exploded bcs of medusa and Kate with Bevis died, Anna Fang died not in St. Paul'S cathedral but on wall of Shan Guo. I think that only one important of these 5 differences for readers is the 1st one, Hester's scar..

It's minor, but I don't remember Hester actually stabbing Valentine in the book.

Spoiler: In the book London gets completely destroyed

Literally the entire plot was changed in the movie

All these changes are awesome except the first one, which is a little disappointing

Hester Scar; Understandable. St. Paul; Bad choice. Minions; UNFORGIVABLE!!! Minions are abomination that become pests. Striker; At least his death was memorable. Instead of going out like a machine, I felt touch by it's death and how part of him is humane. (Yes, I know that not how to spell his name.) Anna Fang; To be honest, I could never picture Anna Fang. When I do, I just imagine a ordinary woman. I'm not a fan of the book. Some moments just strike me as odd and some were stupid. For example, in the book Tom piss himself at the sight of Striker. But the piss joke was bad timing and ridiculous. However, while I enjoyed the movie more, there were a few things that pissed me off. Valentine being a complete villain ruin the reason I like Valentine. He didn't kill the Mayor, he didn't want a war and he certainly didn't died like a normal villain of the nineties would. Valentine death was holding his dead daughter (Not Hester) in his arms while feeling of the lost of a love one. I don't know what this film is trying to do. Ruin the movie, become more popular than the book or to inspired people to read the book. But I can say that I careless for the movie as I careless about the book.

Three things I didn't like about the books: -That far in the future, most races and cultures would've dissolved into each other to the point that you wouldn't recognize any of the cultures we have today -They never explain how the traction cities get food and water, and how those that sell vegetables and whatnot grow the vegetables -Why is British culture still exactly the same, especially with footmen and lord mayors and whatnot.

so does the movie cover the whole story of the 4 books??

I like what they did with shrike I miss the part where tom teaches etiquette to a bunch of pirates I do not like what they did with chrome

also in the movie Hester stabbing valentine and in the book tom stops her fro doing so

Shirkes name in the book was grike

Shrike shrike shrike. Everyone keeps saying shrike but in the books i believe his actually grike no?? Correct me if im wrong but unless his name was Shrike in Mortal Engines and Grike for Predators Gold, Infernal Devices, and A Darkling Plain, I believe the stalkers name is grike no?

YOU MISSED THE BIGGEST DARN THING: the book is centered around Tom, not Hester... Tom growth from wide-eyed innocent to hero adds depth to the book. Hester character stays bitter and BITTER. All the trailers seem to be focused on Hester, which is fine but Hester character was not really that interesting.

The mining town in the beginning I saw a video that called it a different name in the book it’s salthook

My teacher is reading this book. :l no one needed to know that.

Why is trailer crap but this video looks amazing, now I will checkout book/movie.

Nice film

Anna Fang's teeth are red in the book but her teeth are white in the movie.

Adaptive attractiveness

WHERE DID THE PIRATES GO

*salthook
