Snowpiercer (2014) is one of those movies that gets almost universally positive reviews but that I don't like. This is just a mess of slow, logic-deprived nonsense. I expected a lot considering the good things I had heard about it and cannot express how disappointed I was. The Younger Son and I spent a nice while after we finished it ripping it to shreds in every particular. To rehearse what we saw as its problems would take much longer than anyone would care to read, but I will say you couldn't pay me to watch this again.
It does include a celebration of their New Year, which is why I post this today.
trailer:
The NYT has a positive review, as do Salon.com and Slate. Roger Ebert's site gives it 3.5 out of 4 stars. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics rating of 95%.

I also gave it two stars (didn't like it) on Netflix. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I've found someone else who didn't like it :)
DeleteNever heard of it, but won't even consider watching it based on how both you and Rita feel about it. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI read the positive reviews. I just disagreed with them ;)
