About this movie

After a failed global-warming experiment, a post-apocalyptic Ice Age has killed off nearly all life on the planet. All that remains of humanity are the lucky few survivors that boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system has evolved aboard the train, fiercely dividing its population-but a revolution is brewing. The lower-class passengers in the tail section stage an uprising, moving car-by-car up toward the front of the train, where the train's creator and absolute authority resides in splendor. But unexpected circumstances lie in wait for humanity's tenacious survivors... Visionary director Bong Joon Ho's "enormously ambitious and visually stunning," (Scott Foundas, Variety) film has been widely praised as "a superb masterpiece of science fiction" (MTV). Starring Chris Evans, Song Kang Ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Ewen Bremner, John Hurt, and Ed Harris.

Baby's first social commentary, drawn out into two excruciating hours of pointless action sequences and perfunctory character "development", topped at the end with a reveal so ham-fisted, it would make Shyamalan proud.

This movie lead me down the wonderful world of foreign actors and directors. Though this film is in English, I was recommended other films such as Old boy, Parasite and Thirst. I give Snowpiercer 2 Thumbs up and a 4 star rating.

Sugo-ha-shimnida! Mr. B.J. Ho, I greatly appreciate how you remind all people of the condition we have been in from the beginning (since sin entered the world). I think every family has thought at least once, about what position they hold in the world, and equally what can be done to gain good things for themselves (ideally for others at the same time). May we seeketh to remember: '...A friend loveth at all times...'. This is a movie EVERY person can benefit from!!! Love ROK! 1Cor.15, Rom.10 KJV
