    • Trivia
      The original novel mentioned plastic idols of Walt Disney's Mickey and Pluto, "the animal-headed gods of lost America" in the London History Museum. This film, being made by Universal, instead has plastic idols of Despicable Me (2010)'s Minions.
    • Goofs
      When Hester and Tom are rescued by the old couple in the centipede-like craft, they share a small room. Hester, while lying on her back, shares her sad life story. A tear rolls down her cheek, but, given the horizontal position she's in, this would be impossible. The tear should roll pass the side of her face.
    • Quotes

      Shrike: I can remake you, just as I was remade.

      Hester Shaw: You're going to kill me?

      Shrike: For a little while.

    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo shows the Sixty Minute War occurring across the Earth.

    While visually entertaining, missing purpose
    Movie has nice new idea, acting is good and movie is visually entertaining. What this film is missing is purpose. I do not get the idea of these cities or why they need to attack others. There is not really reason for all this violence. What are they trying to acheive? What is the end result that they need?

    FAQ1

    • Is this movie at all related to Mortal Instruments: City of Bones? I only ask cause the bad guy has the same name: "Valentine" and the title has "Mortal" in it.
