Snowpiercer

[Chris Guillory]

This one is now available for streaming on Netflix. I was pretty skeptical at first as the entire movie takes place on a train. I didn't know it was directed by Joon-ho Bong (The Host), but knowing this, it definitely had a Korean SciFi/Thriller feel.

After having watched it, I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. Curious to know your thoughts.

Watched it this past weekend. While there were some good performances, Tilda Swinton in particular, overall it was pretty boring. Much of the story seem lifted from many other dystopia films, and there was a very Matrix Revolutions vibe throughout. And the final ending of the film made the whole thing pointless

Spoiler

pretty much everyone ends up dead in the train crash I'm thinking.

I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, but I wouldn't dissuade them either. It will appeal to some people, just not me.

I've just ordered a copy as I'm pretty intrigued by the concept.
