Even though it's already been a few years since I first saw it, it took me longer than it should have to watch this movie. The idea of humanity surviving a weather apocalypse on a giant, infinitely moving train seemed too ridiculous for a serious action-drama. Man was I disappointed in myself for waiting after I saw it. If you are a fan of hyper-violence mixed with metaphors of class conflict and human morality under pressure, you will love Snowpiercer. Think Battle Royale meets 1984 in the Orient Express on Hoth. For a Science Fiction movie, it's ok. For a social allegory to the flaws of modern society and human nature, it's an incredible movie. If you want more after seeing the movie, check out the graphic novels that it's based on. The first two volumes are iffy, but the third manages to convey the energy and commentary of the movie.
