I admit, I'm surprised it was a movie. I thought I had clicked on a TV series and was going to enjoy new break up scenarios every episode. So for me it was over too quickly and wrapped up too easily. But regardless, I had fun. I laughed, I cringed, I was entertained.

This movie had Hugo Weaving's voice, mildly interesting moving buildings/city and an underutilized zombie robot. We don't get much background into this world other than it's 1000 years into the future after at least one city was destroyed by a nasty purple light weapon. Apparently one can just make up what survives 1000 years and how people live without context of the reality they are in. I don't know if this is a spoiler but there is a wall that we have no idea why it is there, what it is protecting or why London on wheels want it destroyed. For all we know they could have knocked and asked nicely to come inside. I feel this movie was over shadowed by attempting to portray visual content at the expense of a good story.

Dear diary, there are no good people in this world. Vampire Diaries could not find a balance between good and evil to make any of the characters or the story compelling. There was no basis for why everyone is following the bad decisions of an emotional teenage girl or the appeal of this town when it all goes to hell. The only redeemable aspect of this show were Damon's friendships. All of them so unlikely but the only part of the show that made me feel.
