Mortal Engines | Shrike Brings Down Airhaven in His Pursuit of Hester in 4K HDR

[@BloodyFlowerFilms]

Shrike really was the best part of this entire movie. Should have focused entirely on him and he’s a fully CG character!

[@99bulldog]

Agreed he was the only one with a good backstory and his infatuation with Hester was the best part of the movie. The campy love story between Hester and Tom was a total turn off for me. Good god they meet and 2 days later they're totally in love. 🙄

[@citizen_wayne]

Well...I mean. Is motion capture "fully" CG? I would certainly never say so. Kind of dismisses Stephen Lang's performance to say "fully CG". That's like saying Golum/Smeagol from Lord of the Rings was "fully CG". Andy Serkis who?

[@KELVIN4222]

Gotta love it when he screams HESTER SHAW!!!! Best thing going for the entire movie

[@JustCauseFan]

Hands down, Shrike carried this movie, hard!!!

[@TheIllusiveMan11]

Won't lie, it's a shame he got killed off but his final thoughts being of Hester and his own children is a very well made scene.

[@benicioorsua8612]

Well since a second movie isn't coming might as well tell ya he comes back in the second book. I mean he is the resurrected man so they literally resurrect him

[@volmaaraldovahkiin5346]

In fact, the very ending of the series features him awakening many, many years after the main cast have died, and telling their stories. It was honestly pretty dang bittersweet.@@TheIllusiveMan11

[@Thescott16]

How to tell the writer was clueless and lucky rather than skilled or talented; they killed off the _only_ interesting character with minimal resolution just past the halfway point of the film.

[@boxtrolls6144]

Spoiler alert! In the books, he came back

[@Thescott16]

@@boxtrolls6144 Spoiler alert! In the movie, he doesn't. The author of the book didn't write the movie, so bringing up what the original author wrote is irrelevant since we're talking about someone else's work.

[@SuperNovaJinckUFO]

They weren't lucky at all. The film was a massive flop

[@Thescott16]

@@SuperNovaJinckUFO Please re-read the comment. "Lucky" was referring to writing an interesting character, not the film's success.

[@jackbaxter2223]

@@Thescott16 I wouldn't call that lucky, since Shrike was the most interesting character in the books and he was essentially pre-written for the film.

[@vinniedagostino5497]

This movie had one thing going for it and that was shrike. Why they killed him is beyond me. But hay we got to see him in a livaction format and thats enough for me.

[@thyeocroft205]

Shriek franchise MUST begin!!! Pls

[@anatoldenevers237]

If you haven't already, read the books. There's the 4 Mortal Engines books, the Fever Crumb trilogy, and a short story called In The Bleak Midwinter. Shrike is one of the main characters in the Mortal Engines books, you learn his backstory in the Fever Crumb trilogy, and the short story is about him and Hester.

[@chum5520]

Who tf runs at someone with there spear not fucking facing the way of the enemy lmao

[@YangTheAce]

Maybe he tried to juke Shrike and attack him from behind.

[@LurkingCrassZero]

Shrike was the best thing about this movie. Some of the supporting cast were absolutely dire.

[@firstnamenlastname]

This is a great movie, I’m glad I saw it in the theaters! 🍿

[@Sigil_Firebrand]

I know nothing about this movie or this universe and somehow this Shrike dude seems like the only interesting character in the whole thing.

[@jackbaxter2223]

He was definitely the best character in the books. It's a shame the film killed him off in Airhaven (and killed Airhaven) rather than sticking the the books.

[@suad01]

In the books his origin story (whe he was human) goes back to the pre traction era.

[@ethanmitchell7479]

This movie had its faults sure but damn I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love it…..

When Necrons used to have a soul, its almost sad to see one passed away. Call Trazyn!!

[@metalltitan]

I want an entire movie about the war that was so horrifying that it needed soldiers such as Shrike. Giving me serious Fallout vibes but way darker and more gritty.

[@sarcomakaposi2054]

Yup, it did give me a Nick Valentain vibe.

[@BrutusB-us8hd]

man this is too sad I can't watch this especially as his memories flash before him after he dies, pretty sad she cares more for that dumbarse on the floor than the man/robot that took her in and raised her as a daughter.

"HESTEEEER SHAAAAAW!!!🗣️🗣️💀👹👹🔪"

Considering the fact that shrike could of been a valuable asset to her and and she could of repaired and tended to him to allow to flourish and be a father figure to her, she would of had him stay with her and her bf.

the book is MUCH better than the movie, but even in the book, shrike died, at a later point though.

Shrike is actually the only character in the franchise that doesn’t die at all ^^’

[@kujiro_x8099]

so hes invulnerable to bullets but some lady's boot knife gimmick can damage him? yeah

[@Scottymo-pj7iw]

I've read most of these comments. But realistically shrike died of a broken heart and Hester realized she loved. Whatever his name is, the bottom line is. This is a great scene and when I first saw it. I got all choked up for some odd reason. Not the best movie, not the worst. This was probably the best part of the movie

[@Madman13K]

the slightly annoying thing is, in the book Tom managed to stab Shrike through the chest with a sword and he shut down almost immediately. In the film, Anna manages a (smaller) chest stab in that fight but he keeps going for half this scene before that damage appears to catch up to him very suddenly. It's semi plausible and they managed to turn it into a thematically resonant moment, but it feels kind of anticlimactic in terms of the threat he posed. On a more intriguing note, Shrike letting Hester go is much more in keeping with his character in the last book than in Mortal Engines; they seem to have rushed Shrike's character arc at a furious pace to try and get the whole thing into this film before his apparent death, which would make sense if they wanted to tie it up neatly. But there's details like Shrike being the narrator at the very start that indicate they had the sequels and his later reactivation in mind. It'd be interesting to know what the plan was and if it changed during the production.

[@vigneshvignesh6995]

That's just lazy writing. Instead of dying, Shrike should have had a change of heart and joined Hester in the battle against Thaddeus Valentine and Thaddeus and Shrike should have had the last dance then that would have been an epic climax sequence. Instead of that, they just killed off every interesting character in this movie.

[@darkestnightproductions]

That’s how it happened in the books. Shrike dies before Hester invades London. But he does come back 18 years later, when re resurrected by a scientist.
