Snowpiercer

[Red7227]

Snowpiercer is a 2013 Sci-fi movie with lots of very bad science.

It does have some great acting though, and:

Chris Evans
Ed Harris
Tilda Swniton
John Hurt

The trailer fucks up about the first 2/3rds of the movie so I suggest just diving straight in.

I love this movie. Although I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending.

I had no clue what to expect with this movie and I really loved it.

If you go in with a nit-picky attitude (which tbh is how I usually watch movies, lol), you probably won't enjoy it as much; you really kind of have to turn off your logic brain and just enjoy it.

The acting is really, really good. I'm sad it didn't get a wider theatrical release.

I enjoyed a lot of it and it BLEW ME AWAY that the woman was Tilda Swinton (It looked NOTHING like her!!!!)

And while a lot of it was cool, especially the cars that had the aquarium and nicer areas, the finale and ending were just god-awful. Ruined the rest of the movie for me entirely.

As for the science, it's kinda funny how the perpetually moving train would actually be possible, but yet they missed it entirely on how it would have to be done. They never even explained it explicitly which kinda helps, but it is possible to keep an engine perpetually running (or at least for a very long time) as long as you have an outside energy source to feed the motion i.e. the sun, then you could grow the crops, raise the chickens, and power the engine necessary, as well as melt the snow into usable water.

Of course solar panels efficient enough to do this don't yet exist, this was a movie about the future - so it's not entirely unfeasible. I just think it was comical how cleaning out gunk from a single pipe was an essential piece of equipment to keep the entire train working.

I was 100% on the train (totally involved in the story) UNTIL they get to the car with all those dudes in leather and masks and shit.... Like.... What? WHAT? It made more sense after the fact, when I found out the movie was based on a graphic novel. I can accept something that... Absurd? In something like a comic book but it completely threw me off and it took a while before I was back on the train again. I did really enjoy it though, and I liked the ending because I like when there's no resolution. That's life. Shit has to go on, and with lots of uncertainty, so why wrap it up in a nice package?

I'd say it's one of the better movies I've seen in some time. It left a real impression. Not a lot of movies have been doing that lately.
