Why You MUST See Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is the best new Sci-Fi film to come out this year. And yet, it is known by no one. I saw it and want to explain to you lovely people why Imgur must unite and make this film a success.

1) The director was told to dumb-down the film for American audiences- he didn't, he wouldn't, and thus the production company only gave the film a limited release

2) Tilda Swinton steals the scenes as an awkward government official with dentures. She is AWESOME.

3) The plot is hard sci-fi with a goofy tone throughout that actually works (note it is still mighty intense and violent)

4) There is an action sequence that takes place in a single train car and has about 100 men with axes running at one another- it is bloody, beautifully choreographed chaos

5) Chris Evans is in it (I don't like him but he makes panties drop so there)

6) The director is Bong Joon-Ho- he directed the Korean monster movie epic The Host and the dark drama Mother- he is awesome and we should want more of him

7) The film is beautiful to look at and each car of the train is unique and fun to digest- did I mention it takes place entirely on a train!

8) Finally: we need more thinking man's sci-fi and not more Michael Bay!!!

Thanks for the read you sexy bastards.

Edit: Thanks so much guys! Long time lurker and thought I would give posting a go! Never thought this post would get this much attention. May do a few other films like The Rover and Raid 2 if people express interest. Would love to be an Imgur movie guy.

Unless you were stoned when you watched it the first time and forgot most of it.

Then did you really watch it in the first place ....?

I gave it 1/5 of a watch. Stopped at the sushi cart... or the school cart.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

That is exactly my feeling. I do not regret seeing it. But I will not be watching it again, ever, thanks.

Don't worry I bumped you back up to 1. But that's too bad man, from seeding I assume? Try Solar Movie or other streaming sites.

If you pirate the good movies, then they won't make any money and that means less good movies.
