Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is a story about a self sufficient super train that becomes the last survivable place on Earth for humanity.

With global warming going out of control scientists develop a strategy for reversing the warming effect, but something goes wrong and the effect goes out of control deep freezing the world and killing anyone.except the people on the train.  People on the train are divided by class with the lowest at the rear of the train. The low class people live in squallier. Conditions worsen and one man decides to act to help his people by leading them in rebellion.

In science fiction I believe you have to be accepting of the situation the author creates, then you consider how well it is presented. In the case of Snowpiercer I was a little sceptical about a moving train being the last bastion for mankind but I was pleased with how well it was done. I liked the special effects and the frozen territorial media, very well done. Ed Harris, who plays Wilford the boss of the train, and John Hurt, who plays Gilliam the disabled leader of the impoverished rear of the train, and Chris Evans who plays Curtis the main character who leads the rebellion along with the rest of the cast give really good performances.

You’ll know Chris Evans as Captain America. John Hurt was the professor from Hellboy and the 2013 War Doctor on Dr. Who . Ed Harris was in Gravity, the Abyss, and Apollo 13.
