I mean you could ask the same about ocean-going cruise liners in our present day and obviously there is plenty of ocean for lots.
Heck even the smaller mobile cities are pretty big and its indicated there are many of them.
Anyway, considering how vast the mobile city of London is (and I assume some other cities), it got me wondering if there was enough space on the land for all these mobile metropolises.
It seems that the surface of the Earth has changed since the '60 minute war' and countries like the UK have now joined mainland Europe (?). My last nagging question relates to the land itself. These vast mobile cities are damn impressive feats, yet they go around destroying each other. Not to mention the fact they still seem to have a lot of technology, materials, food, water, and working men to actually build all this stuff. Also the fact that mankind has done this after an apocalyptic event really makes little sense. A neat fantasy idea for a cool image and again it sounds wicked on paper, but when you actually see it in live action and try to think about it logically it raises so many questions. Just looking at these things they look so fragile, vulnerable, and in one case completely top heavy. What is the actual point in building (or putting) a city on wheels? How does that benefit the city? I mean yeah sure you could move it to the coast in the summer but it just seems so utterly stupid. I then found myself asking the most fundamental question (I think). I then found myself asking what about the rest of London? How did they decide what to save? Are all the other buildings custom made for the new London-on-wheels or have they also been dug up and planted on the chassis? Paul's in London), load them onto the chassis, and then somehow fix them in place to said chassis. This would mean they would have had to dig up famous landmarks (such as St. Obviously I know this is based on a fantasy novel and the entire concept is outlandish science-fiction, but really? So firstly I would have to ask how the feck mankind is supposed to have put their cities onto such huge chassis. Well although this sounds cool on paper (in a kind of GamesWorkshop related way) I also found it to be simply ludicrous. As I'm sure many are aware the basic idea in this movie is how civilisation has crumbled after a devasting war and the remaining humans have, for some reason, decided to mount all the remaining cities on wheels so they can 'drive them around' so to speak. OK so let me start this review by explaining my initial thoughts on this movie and its basic premise.
