Snowpiercer


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler, Jordan

Joon-ho Bong has made his (mostly) english language debut. An icy post-apocalyptic train confined allegory based on a french graphic novel. It's stylish and has some nice sci-fi conceits and big characters (Tilda Swinton you are crazy wonderful) but it also has some ideas that's we have seen before. The story is probably not the strongest point of the film. But they manage to fit quite a bit of action on that train. There are some delightfully kooky moments though and although I don't think the ending landed as well as it could have I really loved everything up until then. Definitely one to keep an eye out for.
