AdventureScience Fiction

As the world progresses into the industrial age, a professor studying the "nature of pure matter" is spirited away by a would-be dictator and connived into building a super-bomb, as a young reporter and a girl rescued from the sea attempt to warn him of their mutual kidnapper's intentions to dominate the world with a new and more-deadly-yet weapon.

VIBE

A delightful dive into imaginative 19th-century science. It feels like a grand, optimistic adventure, brimming with ingenious contraptions and a sense of pure, unadulterated wonder at the possibilities of invention.
