Set in a near future, this spectacular Sci-Fi thriller keeps the interests of the audiences from the start to the end, and nobody can really predict what will happen in the next scene. It also offers a series of thought-provoking dialogues and an in-depth discussion about humanity. The visual effects are simple yet effective. Chris Evans gives perhaps his best performances to date.

Let me explain. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the reason that so many critics have given this movie such a spectacular review is because all movie critics, well... It's probably not fair to say "all", the majority must have been born under the same sign, or have studied journalism reading the same books, and have long since forgotten how to think for themselves, or have an original thought. You see... All critics are conditioned to look for and promote something that they have never seen before, something "original." That is their core conditioned value system. If they see something that they have never seen before, that they think is unique, then... THAT is what translates into the highest score. They don't stop to genuinely, or generally ask themselves if they liked what they saw, or if it's entertaining. Why? Because they are conditioned to believe that after tens of thousands of films and television, a story arc can no longer be unique, or original. Thus, when something comes along that has the appearance of being original, absent predictability, then... they (the professional journalists that call themselves critics) wet their pants with anticipation. In this way, their uniform value of what appears to be original, is what makes them (the critics) unoriginal.This is a terrible film. Terrible! Easily one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. It's not even entertaining, it's just stupid. I would almost encourage people to watch it so that they could have a birds eye view into the subculture of our critics. Should someone take a moment to actually read this review, in order to give my review a little depth, here are a few films that I think are spectacular, and would give them the same or higher score that the critics gave snowpiercer. Gladiator, Spotlight, Sense and Sensibilities, Godfather, Forrest Gump... Just FYI, the same metacritics that gave snowpiercer an 88 , gave gladiator a 67. How many Academy Awards did gladiator win?

Promised so much at the beginning and failed epically in the end. The movie drags on as well, could cut it down to 90 minutes instead of two hours.

I saw it when it came out and didn't really like it. There were so many plot holes and narrative choices that made no sense to me or did not seem to be logical. There were many inconsistencies as well, and some parts are very cheesy. All of this bothered me enough that I couldn't enjoy it. I like all the actors and the story and the genre, but this one didn't do it for me. Might have to re-watch and see if I still feel the same.
