Review of Snowpiercer (2013) by Dtrain — 19 Feb 2015
I viewed this film based on a favorable review in The Week last summer. Never has this great magazine been so far off. This movie was shockingly horrible. I could tell in the first few minutes that something was terribly terribly wrong with this film, and I almost shut it off (an extremely rare response for me), but I thought that it must get better.
It didn't. Just the opposite. This film does earn distinction, however: it qualifies in the top five worst movies I've ever seen (think: Plan 9 from Outer Space without the laughs). It's so bad that it isn't even "so bad it's good.
" It's just so bad that it's pathetic. Gratuitously violent. Insultingly inane. A cheap ripoff of the movie art form. And they even had the nerve to put some known actors into this monstrosity. I want to vomit this vile stuff from my consciousness.
