Review of Snowpiercer (2013) by Zafeer — 11 Sep 2015

This movie made no sense what so ever. At the start it's as cold as liquid nitrogen outside and at the end the two survivors and a polar bear are wandering around outside. Their lungs should be frozen in an instant.

They explain nothing in the movie. What happened to the world that would only take 17 years to recover? The sun is shining throughout the movie so how did the temp drop so drastically? Any loss in atmosphere would cause a temp increase.

Why a long elaborate ruse to cause a revolt when they could just shoot people without any fuss? Where are they keeping the feed for all of the cows, chickens and pork? It would take acres of farmland just to feed and house them.

The train is supposed to last forever but they need small children to replace simple parts that they should be able to jury rig or replace entirely. Why have a subclass of freeloaders at all? Put them to work as servants for the upper class.

Get them to do the jobs that nobody else wants to do. Where did all the bugs come from for making protein bricks? That's a lot of bricks per day. What if the tracks get damaged by falling rocks? Why is there no way to remove power from the security doors so they can't be opened? Isn't the woman survivor going to go through massive withdrawals and probably die? What was the polar bear eating in the wild all this time? The gene pool on the train isn't large enough to repopulate the world.

Why would you sacrifice the electrical engineer that created the electrical systems on the train? Wouldn't he be one of the most valuable people on the train? No fire suppression system on the train? There are so many holes in this train wreck.
