Snowpiercer (2013)


The Weinstein Company
Directed by Bong Joon-ho
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Anchor Bay)

After an attempt to stop global warming backfires causing an ice age instead, most life on Earth is extinguished. A handful of humans are saved aboard a train which constantly circles the globe. Mimicking a social order, those at the back of the train are overcrowded and live in extreme poverty, while those in front live a priviliged life. Chris Evans plays a revolutionary determined to get to the front of the train at all costs. After overcoming incredible odds he makes it, only to find... Ed Harris looking and acting a lot like Hugh Hefner. Promising setting ruined by the preposterous ending, not to mention the poor CGI depicting the frozen world outside the train.
