Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer Review - 7/10


In a world that has frozen over, the last humans on Earth have been living on a train for the last 17 years. The movie picks up with the group in the back of the train. These people seem to be the lowest on the totem pole and aren't living as comfortably as they would like. In one of the first scenes, you get the sense that these people want to change the way they live. A revolt against the guards is being planned and its only a matter of time before their plan goes into effect.

The plot of the movie moves along as the plan goes into effect and the actions that are required by both parties. As our "hero" continues further and further to the beginning of the train, we the audience get to learn more about how this train is separated. For example, one cart has a school and the next a dentist followed by what looks like a high class bar.

It was an interesting take on the "end of the world" so to speak and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't think this got a lot of mainstream press but it's now on Netflix for those to enjoy as well. A solid 7/10 for the Sci/Fi thriller.
