Mortal Engines
---------------------------------------------------------------
Insidious The Last key
- This movie was watched on Prime Video
- It is okay movie to be watched once
- It shows how an evil entity torments people in one house located near a prison since the 1950's
- And finally is taken care of.
- It is enjoyable movie.
Lost Temple of Java
- Strictly speaking this is not a movie but a documentary
- It shows the temple structure of Borubudur
- How people have created such a magnificent temple in Java island like of which never existed in the world
- People suspect it to be made by immigrants/sailors from India
- Other theory is that Javanese themselves made it and then abandoned it following volcanic activity
- It is Buddhist temple without any subterranean chambers
- All that is to be seen remains outside.
- Magnificent stone carvings could be seen.
- This documentary gives credence to the fact that the entire region of South East Asia functioned as a single trading entity including the East Coast of India.
- People went to and fro before the advent of the Western Powers who then dominated the seas and became colonizers.
- Documentary also shows how an officer from the East India Company Mr Raffles (founder of Singapore) made the discovery and was not taken seriously back in London
- East India Company also captured the island from Dutch and then due to political agreements made in Europe the island went back to the Dutch and Mr Raffles had to leave.
Mortal Engines
- This movie was seen on the big screen at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere
- I liked the movie.
- This is must watch full 5 star rating.
- Movie starts with one city chasing a smaller city which appears like a ship.
- When in 15th and 16th Century European powers began exploring the ocean things could have happened that way to establish primacy in the waters.
- Those ships which survived reigned supreme.
- Defeated ships would have sank and ended in the bottom of the ocean.
- But here the cities are "gobbled up"
- Yes the entire city of London exist and now is a "mobile city" and gobbles smaller cities in European mainland converting them to fuel.
- People are assimilated after stripping them of valuables and weapons.
- But that is not enough for one commander of London city and he secretly is building a "Medusa aka MedU.S.A" weapon to annihilate settled community in Eastern part of the World.
- That weapon was responsible for destruction of much of World cities and populations
- So in a post Apocalyptic world those who control the resources would be supreme.
- And so the Commander murders the King of London and makes the weapon operational to target a Wall protecting the Eastern civilization which are prospering behind the wall.
- Two strikes he makes and before making the third strike the weapon is disabled and the commander comes under the wheels of London city which he sets on collision course with the wall following the blocking of the weapon.
- But our hero and heroine team are able to stop London city in its tracks and avoid disaster as the city alongwith the inhabitants would have probably got destroyed from the impact.
- Then the Eastern King or Leader allows all the people from "mobile London city" to disembark the "land ship" and enter the lands and so it is a happy ending.
