Snowpiercer Ratings & Reviews
- sammysam7561d agoWasn’t satisfied with the ending
- SkyShazadJune 20, 2025So Ive been hearing about this movie for years, I've finally watched it, and I can't understand why this Movie was So hyped. It's just an okay movie. It has a great cast and all perform well, but I wouldn't watch it again, and I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024Really good movie that sticks to your mind for a while. Good interesting story, nice scenery. Awesome characters. Love the real world parallels.
- DoggesAndCattesNovember 20, 2024The snow was pierced!
- Mister ArnMay 19, 2025The premise of Snowpiercer seemed intriguing at the beginning of the film. Then it becomes a violent "Alice in Wonderland" fantasy story.
- Roberto O. CasasMarch 21, 2025Too long, started interesting but then it started getting weird. Then you start thinking, where do all these people live and it doesn't make sense.
- P. LoganMarch 16, 2025It has a very heavy-handed allegory and you can nitpick the plausibility of the premise, but the creativity of the filmmaking and set design more than make up for it.
- 匚卂尺ㄥMarch 6, 2025Now I don't really like this genre of film and have been avoiding it like the plague, but with Bong Joon-ho at the helm as Director and for making the absolute genius of a film Parasite, I'd be a fool to continue living my life in ignorance. This film absolutely doesn't disappoint. This really is a superb cast and you've got to think to yourself, with names like Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris and John Hurt in the frame, would they really sign up to something substandard film or script wise? A shock to my system was Chris Evans. Now I'm probably the only one left in the whole wide world who has never watched a Captain America film, but it's a very nuanced performance and if he continues to make brave and bold acting choices, he will win an Academy Award one day. The only thing that spoils the packaging of this film is the Weinstein name. Apparently, he was a beast when it came to the release of this film and not allowing it to be nationwide. Anyway, I urge you all to watch this and better still, get your own copy like me. Consequently, I have now hunted down every single film Bong Joon-ho has made because he is a true master of his craft and a consummate genius in my opinion.
- rg9400November 1, 2024I am shocked that this movie somehow managed to fly under my radar. It has some fairly famous cast members, but for some reason, I never heard much about it, causing me to ignore it. I am very glad I rectified that mistake as I go through Bong Joon-ho's cinematography. It's the most action-driven of the movies I've seen from him (so far), and though you don't necessarily get the stylized action that has become popular from movies like John Wick, you can see flashes of cool cinematography as two sides fight in tight linear hallways, with each car resulting in very different aesthetics. Despite the limited space, Bong Joon-ho manages to keep the action dynamic, changing up the mechanics of each action scene so that it never feels stale. Like any of his movies, there is a ton of sociopolitical commentary, but this time you don't need to look very deep. The world is built similar to something out of The Hunger Games, and as the movie draws to a close, the messaging becomes sharper with its political thought experiment having clear present day parallels. My main criticism is that Chris Evans, as usual, is extremely bland. While I enjoyed Song Kang-ho and Go A-sung (both from The Host!), I found him to be a poor choice for the leading man. Thankfully, his character gets a bit more depth at the ending which makes the actual character arc significantly more interesting, but I still maintain he didn't do a great job. Also, it takes until the ending to get there. The movie can be brutal at times, but it also has a zaniness and comedic undertone to it that is similar to other movies by this director. Overall, I found it highly engaging, entertaining, and compelling, and I'm starting to think Bong Joon-ho is one of my favorite active directors.
- Richard GobinOctober 27, 2024Class warfare on a train during a post-Apocalyptic time set the backdrop for this movie. For such confined space the film travels along nicely.
