Movie Recommendation // Snowpiercer

It's been quite a while since I did a movie recommendation post, but I've been meaning to share quite a few with you all!  Today's recommendation is for a really great film titled Snowpiercer.  I will admit that before I watched it, I knew absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that I hoped it would be better than the name.  For some reason, the title was really silly sounding to me.  Boy am I glad I didn't judge the movie by the title.  It's excellent!

Plot Summary from IMDB:

Set in a future where a failed climate-change experiment kills all life on the planet except for a lucky few who boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, where a class system emerges.


Alright so first things first: the cast.  The cast for this is FANTASTIC!!  Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, and Ed Harris?!  Jeeez!  I totally did not recognize Chris Evans in the very beginning, but let me tell you...black bearded and dirty is a really good look for him (I know what you're thinking...what ISN'T a good look for him right?  Seriously though.)  Tilda Swinton always blows me away, but her performance as a dorky evil bitch villain is simply amazing.  You'll love hating her-I promise.

   
Also...this sweet bubbly school teacher is fucking nuts.  Sorry, I know this photo seems out of place, but I couldn't do this recommendation without an image of her. 

So aside from the cast, what did I love so much about Snowpiercer?  The colors, cinematography, and plot.  I'm gonna repeat myself and say that not only was I skeptical that this film was going be any good after reading the title, but after reading the synopsis...I was almost sure that it was too outrageous to pull off.  You've basically got an apocalyptic dystopian society on a never ending train ride from hell where the leader has taken it upon him/herself to separate it's passengers into a caste system and things get BAD.  Really really bad. 


This is Chris Evan's after finding out that you haven't seen this film....so go watch it!! :)

  
Already seen Snowpiercer?  I'd love to know your thoughts on it!!!

  1. I remember seeing the trailer. Thinking it looked interesting, but not $13 a ticket interesting.
    Also, the title was a bit off-putting for me as well.

    And then the reviews came in. EVERYONE I know who saw it loved it! I always thought Chris Evens had good potential (I never found him attractive...until Winter Soldier and for some reason: like!) and Tilda = The BEST!!!!

    1. I just watched Winter Soldier last weekend and loved him in that as well. I don't think I've ever seen Tilda Swinton in anything where I didn't like her character. She's definitely the best :)

  3. I need to track this film down. Everyone keeps talking about and I do love me some Chris Evans. I've even heard good things about the graphic novel it is based on!

    1. Isn't Netflix just the greatest? I feel like for a while there they were skimping on the good movies, but they seem to be making an effort to bring in some really great stuff now :)
