It's been years since I'd thought about that one. Thanks for sharing it.The Mortal Engines movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where cities have been turned into giant moving machines that roam the Earth, consuming smaller cities for resources.
While it may seem far-fetched, the idea of moving cities is not completely implausible. In fact, there are already small-scale experiments being conducted to create self-sufficient mobile cities using renewable energy sources.
The movie portrays the use of a fictional energy source called "old-tech" which is essentially advanced technology from our current time. This is used to power the moving cities and is a major plot point in the film.
While there are no examples of entire cities being able to move, there are instances of large structures such as oil rigs and cruise ships being able to move and function on their own. This could be seen as a smaller scale version of a moving city.
In addition to the concept of moving cities, the movie also touches on themes of conservation, renewable energy, and the consequences of overconsumption and technological advancement.
