Snowpiercer: 70 Out Of 100 Stars

The good about Snowpiercer are the performances and the original take on a classic story. The world is pretty much frozen and all that's left is a train that continuously circles the earth. On board are the last of humanity, each car part of the class system. It's a fresh and novel take on class warfare, the only real problem I had with it is that it's a little hard to believe, thus making it difficult to get as invested as the film makers want. Tilda Swinton is awesome as usual and Kang-ho Song is fabulous as well. Chris Evans does a fine job in the lead and I was never bored, but the more the story unfolds, the more it slips into fantasy and sort of loses it's initial appeal. Still, a damn good film.
