Review of Snowpiercer (2013) by Reelsight — 27 Jul 2014
Totally improbable dystopian fable. Good scifi must contain probable or at least possible technology. This one never explains what powers the engine or how the tracks survive decades of high speed use in artic conditions with no maintenance.
Of course a really good story would allow me to forgive "magical" technology. But this one is a heavy-handed, plodding allegory of class warfare. The predictable progress from one end of the train to the other is achingly tedious.
The ending of this scientifically ignorant production is perfect. It shows the majestic maritime polar bear roaming an alpine landscape.
