Mjeteconer Just perfect...
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
hemzyy "Snowpiercer" is a great effort at a dystopian classic, based on a graphic novel and directed by Bong Joon-ho, with a prominent American and British cast. Interestingly, the story spins off from the dooms day effect of global warming and humanity's self-destructive effort to curb it, resulting in a frozen planet with a speeding "Ark" on rails - Snowpiercer. The tail of the train is populated by the poor, downtrodden; under the mercy of the richer class up in the front, led by Wilford (Ed Harris), the owner of the train who "governs" the train with his make-shift ministers and henchmen. Scarcity of food, water and space to dwell holds the tail down under the iron hand rule of Wilford. Rebels from the tail, led by an old veteran Gilliam (John Hurt) and his second-in-command Curtis (Chris Evans) break out in defiance with a plan to overpower the tyranny and bring order and fairness into Snowpiercer, leading to an epic battle of wits, strategy and sheer numbers between Curtis and Wilford. The film boasts of a supporting cast with the likes of Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton and Song Kang-Ho, but Chris Evans steals the show as the gritty Curtis Everett in one of his many underrated performances that are constantly overshadowed by his role as the star spangled leader of the Avengers. The movie is consistently engrossing, though the climactic scenes rise up in some sort of crescendo, particularly in terms of the narrative and the characters' back stories. The film also has its fair share of violence, given it revolves around a battle, but shot in the most finished and aesthetic manner - one of the trademarks of South Korean film-making.
perica-43151 This movie demonstrated that Hollywood can learn a lot from the modern South Korean cinema. Everything Hollywood does, Asians seem to do better. This allegorical movie about the social order is perhaps a bit short on its main premise, but it really does not matter that much. Infinitely more intelligent than its Hollywood counterparts, it is one smart action movie that sets the standard for Hollywood to follow.
jaynikki I've never written a review before in my entire life but as I'm sitting here in my friend's apartment watching this God awful film, I knew something had to done. This movie literally has me lost for words. The trailer completely misconstrued what the purpose of this film was. It was just a complete mess of a movie that I refuse to take seriously. I don't know how this was created into a film. Yikes!
gogoled I saw it when it came out and didn't really like it. There were so many plot holes and narrative choices that made no sense to me or did not seem to be logical. There were many inconsistencies as well, and some parts are very cheesy. All of this bothered me enough that I couldn't enjoy it. I like all the actors and the story and the genre, but this one didn't do it for me. Might have to re-watch and see if I still feel the same.
