    Snowpiercer (film)

    Looks kind of interesting... If a little far fetched...

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It seems to be getting epic reviews - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67804

    SNOWPIERCER is simply everything you could want out of a film. Beautifully imagined and realized, spectacular and thoughtful world-building, dynamic performances from incredible actors, wicked-awesome action pieces, and some damn good thought-provoking moments that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.

    Finally watched this over the weekend. I loved the first 3/4 of it, no matter how daft/silly it seemed to get.

    However, the last 1/4 just seemed to derail (see what I did there?)...

    Still an enjoyable watch, but a shame about that last 1/4...

    I've had this saved in my Netflix queue for what seems like more than a year but just haven't had the interest to watch it yet. Might have to finally give it a spin....

    I watched it once, reasonably enjoyable in parts, but I doubt it will ever find it's way into my movie collection.

    Tilda Swinton is bloody marvellous in it though!
