Critics Consensus

Snowpiercer offers an audaciously ambitious action spectacular for filmgoers numb to effects-driven blockbusters.

The New York Review of Books

A madcap addition to the comic-book-derived movies that have dominated cinematic summer fare.

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.

4.5/5

It's a wicked, violent parable, and one of the only movies of the summer worth talking about after the credits roll.

'Snowpiercer' is messy but beautifully imperfect. After all, you can't have your ice-cream cake and eat it too.

2/5

In the end, the vague weirdness and bad performances outweigh the the film's ambitious singularity, style points, and heady fiction.

3.5/4

A brainy bruiser that offers plenty of social commentary to go along with the exciting action.

This movie was outstanding! This is one of the most unique dystopian stories I've ever seen, and it was just as harrowing as it was endearing. The atmosphere and visuals of the movie were bleak and beautiful at the same time, and the story was absolutely thrilling. I definitely recommend this for action, thriller, and sci-fi fans!

I have an agenda and I’m going to spend millions on a crappy show with crappy actors to push it. So many logical fallacies in this joke of a show it’s ridiculous.
