    Snowpiercer

    Reviewed by

    I was really excited to see Snowpiercer. I’ve heard nothing but amazing praise and reviews and I love the concept. Well, it turns out that Snowpiercer is one of the most original and interesting science fiction films in recent years. The plot of Snowpiercer is a little complicated, so I’ll try my best to give a summary of it without spoiling anything. All of humanity is extinct due to a chemical ice age and the only surviving humans are aboard an “indestructible” train that goes in circles. On this train, the class systems are divided where the rich are at the front and the poor are at the back. One day, the poor are fed up with the way they’re treated and want revenge. There are many reasons Snowpiercer surprised me. One of the biggest reasons happens to be the story. There were many bizarre twists and turns that hit me like a car. In other words, I didn’t see them coming. The story is long and complex, with lots of detail put into it. This movie also proved to be way stranger and weirder than I could have possibly imagined. The acting in this movie is top notch. Chris Evans gives his best performance of his career, while Octavia Spencer once again acts beautifully. The rest of the supporting cast fit right in and worked very well. The cinematography is gorgeous, the special effects are great and the direction was brilliant! The dark yet sometimes bizarrely funny tone works super well. This movie is also very fast-paced, with non-stop action from beginning to end. Another thing that surprised me about Snowpiercer is how smart it is. With such a weird concept, it could have easily been incredibly dumb. However, this is not the case because you could tell that a lot of thought was put into this film. The only fault I had with this movie was the ending. Though I adored the last shot of the film, I thought that the ending was rushed and wasn’t the big payoff I was waiting for over the course of two hours. Overall, Snowpiercer is one of the most interesting and unique science-fiction films in recent years. I wouldn’t recommend this to everybody, but hard-core sci-fi fans should totally check this out. RATING: 9/10.

    WOW! Did we see two different movies or what!? I was so bored with a tired old plot that's been used over and over again. This one was a definite loser. I'm not saying you shouldn't like the film if so you do, but the praise you heep on it is grossly exaggerated. It was a frightful mess by a Chinese director. Nothing could save a decrepit old story we've seen in one form or another. Wish I had fallen asleep. Everything from acting, dialogue to the action was almost fake-like!
