Steampunk Mobile City? The setting is still quite new. The minions and broken-screen iPhones in the museum are Easter eggs, right? The plot is broken, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. For example, the plot of Shrek is inexplicable. The heroine is too ink-bleed. At the beginning, she had to stab her with a knife, and she had to talk about it. At the end, it was over with a single shot. She had to talk about it. It could have been a good movie but it didn't pass.

1. After thinking about it, I decided to give it five stars. It is true that the plot of this film is not amazing, but some so-called loopholes are not to the point of unforgivable. 2. In addition to the annoying male protagonist, the steampunk texture of the movie is amazing, and the visual effects are amazing. 3. The zombie warrior part is excellent in both plot and effect. 4. The appearance of Minions is very humorous. 5. The movie is only the first of a four-part novel, look forward to other parts.
