Snowpiercer is a science fiction dystopian drama set in the future where a failed climate-change experiment has killed the majority of the world's population except for the ones who were able to board the Snowpiercer, a high speed train that travels around the globe.
I thought that the plot was interesting however that was the only positive thing I could find about this movie. The script was terrible; some parts didn’t make any sense at all and were unrealistic. It was as if the writers had a high level idea that they didn't know how to get deeper into. There was nothing smart or eye opening about this story.
The cinematography was low budget, the CGI looked fake, and some of the editing was flat out terrible,
I found it hard to connect to any of the characters. The acting was cheesy which was unfortunate due to the well respected cast including Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer and Ed Harris. I’m not a huge Chris Evans fan so I should have known that he wasn’t going to be able to carry this movie well.
I choose to watch this movie because the Snowpiercer television show is currently airing and it has already shown, in its first episode, to be more exciting, the writing has been of higher quality, superior cinematography and with a better story full of deep layers just awaiting to be uncovered. Therefore, I’d suggest skipping this movie and going straight to the TV show.
