Review of Snowpiercer (2013) by Marty-Dc — 01 Mar 2015
The critics' high praise was not supported by the movie itself.
The strong points were the special effects and the acting of Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Octavia Spencer, and Go Ah-sung.

The premise was absurd in the extreme, and the plot had so many holes in it you could use for a colander.
The ending was just silly.
I kept looking for some redeeming point to the whole thing, perhaps an allegory on humanity, a statement on technology, anything that would tell me I had not wasted two hours and the cost of a rental, but there was nothing there.
Overall I'd put it in the same league as 1969's "The Magic Christian", except it's more depressing.
