Far superior to most films which construct futures where a familiar world no longer exists, with everything frozen and uninhabitable. The only survivors circle on the world in train in perpetual motion; a train where class divisions are stark. Explores issues of privilege and oppression, truth and deceit, and ends with a note of hope for the future. Very much a transnational (international) film production.
I got what I paid for. Unlikely to watch it again, but entertainment on a wet day.
It was not bad, but for awhile I could not quite get it. I stayed with it, and in the end I got what was happening. The acting was sort of ok, the story line is ok.
Snowpiercer is a 2013 Korean science fiction arthouse action film on DVD, directed by Joon-Ho Bong.
Set in a future where a failed climate-change experiment kills all life on the planet except for a lucky few who boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, where a class system emerges.
Snowpiercer Movie Reviews
“Politically provocative and visually spectacular Snowpiercer – the best action film of 2014, and probably the best film, period.” Salon.com
“Snowpiercer evolves steadily, growing richer with every step and slowly feeding us morsels of information – enriching this ludicrous premise with enough magic and wonder to suspend our disbelief entirely.” CineVue
“Though the movie is playfully postmodern in its pastiche of styles and its mingling of sincerity and self-consciousness, there is also something solidly old-fashioned about the way it tells its story.” The New York Times
“A rare hybrid that perfectly blends the dazzle of a futuristic action thriller with the intellectual substance of an art film.” USA Today
“You couldn't ask for a better metaphor for hell on Earth than what Bong Joon-ho has wrought with Snowpiercer: constant forward momentum while getting absolutely nowhere, suffering all the while.” Toronto Star
