-
A madcap addition to the comic-book-derived movies that have dominated cinematic summer fare.
March 28, 2017 | Full Review… -
That rare experience you don't get to have much in the summer anymore, a loud, clanging, original action flick that's grabbing you by the lapels and yelling in your ears.
September 22, 2016 | Full Review… -
It's a wicked, violent parable, and one of the only movies of the summer worth talking about after the credits roll.

"Snowpiercer" warms the heart, but doesn't penetrate it.
January 2, 2015 | Full Review… -
Fueled by implausibility, and for a good portion of the ride much better for it, Bong-Joon Ho's Snowpiercer posits a nonstop, Earth-encircling train containing the microcosmic survivors of a society killed off by a global warming-induced deep freeze.
January 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
This is a dark, but deeply beautiful movie, punctuated by edge-of-your-seat thrills and unexpected laughs.

Audience Reviews for Snowpiercer

Feb 16, 2020Grisly eye-opening, viciously violent and social-commentary-gold make Snowpiercer a sci-fi-action-gem that speaks a worldy-view on social-class divides. This visionary tale of Bong Joon-ho's creation is beautifully shot, tensely written and filled with captivating performances from Evans and Swinton; all ingredients palpable of sanctifying this film as one of the director's personal bests. 4.52/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Apr 28, 2016I really liked this movie much more than I anticipated great action and a great story from a film that from the trailer didn't excite me all that much.Kameron W Super Reviewer

Apr 17, 2016A very unique action Sci-Fi-film that is unlike anything you've seen before. The unpredictable plot and fascinating location already make sure of that but the outstanding look adds another layer of oddness. The sudden bursts of violence are almost physically hurting for the spectator, yet you can't look away from this fascinating and challenging film.Jens S Super Reviewer

Nov 30, 2015Ugh! Despair, Depression and Hopelessness all served up in 80% darkness. What kind of entertainment is that? None would be the answer. A very few beautiful visual is not enough to compensate for the endless gloom.jay n Super Reviewer
