Finally watched Snowpiercer (2013), it was free on Amazon Prime.
Honestly I think the performances might be the best part of this film, although some of the train lore is interesting. The early standout is Tilda Swinton, as Wilford's representative to the train's tail end. She's just hilarious and her versatility here (considering the breadth of her other work) is just incredible. She had a lot of fun with this role. Chris Evans gets his moments to shine later in the film. There's some other names in here too, like Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Ed Harris; Alison Pill has a brief cameo as a semi-deranged K-grade teacher which is kind of amusing. Some of the action sequences are harrowing; Grey (Luke Pasqualino) perhaps has some of the gutsiest fight moments.
kind of some lessons here to learn as well, for example there are many good reasons why someone might come up with to keep the train moving, but once you look at them in detail or perspective, the detriments really leap out.
