  I wish Tilda Swinton did more comedy. Doesn’t even have to be on a train if she wants

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 92

  Civilization has gone to shit. It's too cold to survive due to extremely bad weather. Humanity has been reduced to a train. The train has a class system of its own that is heavily divided between the rich and the poor. The rich prey on the poor in many ways. When enough is enough Captain America leads a ragtag group of rebels to the front of the train in Joon-ho Bong's English language debut. Al Gore was right? Chris Evans's beanie. Handy hands. Pound down. Spud? The Help. Billy Elliot's ears. Wearing yellow makes you look even fatter. Snow torture. Tilda's teeth. Hammer time. John Hurt is the shit. Extreme Russian Roulette. Parkour? The Weird without The Good and The…

  Review by Eli Hayes ★★★★ 11

  Probably one of the best contemporary films about classism, driven by an overarching metaphor/microcosm for both the present and the future. All of the performances are great, as well as the direction, cinematography, and editing being superb. This is the kind of film that I would classify as being important, the kind of film that young adults should watch and learn from. Better yet, it has an appeal for all audiences, because of the fact that it works quite well as both an allegorical film for art-house audiences, and a brilliant action movie for those in seek of top-notch, clever entertainment. It's not a horror movie, but it is a scary one, for it reeks of the truth living within…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Snowpiercer is a film that manages to stay on track for most of its bloated running time, only to steam ahead towards an inevitable derailment.

  Right, now that I've got all the train related puns out of the way, let's talk about this wonderful mess of a film.

  As ridiculous as the premise is, Joon-ho Bong's film is fiercely dedicated to it. It starts of with a grimy, disgusting view of life in the tail end of the train that holds the last of humanity. We quickly meet the archetypes required for a story like this. The reluctant hero, the old wise man, the young dog, they're all there. But the way we are introduced to them is where the…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 12

  this is the Bioshock movie. overcomes dreadful 1st act to become something darkly absurd & rather special. still Bong's worst. Tilda Swinton doesn't just steal SNOWPIERCER, she buys it, raises the rent, prices it out of the neighborhood, and gentrifies the area.

  of course the cruel joke of SNOWPIERCER is that it would likely be a better film with 15 minutes trimmed or repurposed.

  Of the two remakes of WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY I've seen, this is the one I prefer.

  Review by feedingbrett ★★★★½ 14

  Snowpiercer is dense, more so than I had anticipated, its plot initially fuelled by the heated emotions that run through the titular train’s lowest class culture, a desperation for a revolution, to finally end the suffering that has plagued them for 17 years. Its tail to head journey is led by the headstrong Curtis (Chris Evans), radiating leadership and intelligence, appointed by the people as their front in their trials towards the engine, which is manufactured and controlled by a man named Wilford (Ed Harris), a visionary who saw the end of our world in the horizon, constructing a train that is capable of self-sustainment and endurance from the harsh cold climate that exists beyond the train’s walls.

  In its…
