[FlyingDonut]

Loved it. Two thumbs way way way up. Best action movie I've seen in quite some time.

This movie was so ridiculous it made the plot of TDKR seem plausible.

[dupont2005]

I was hoping the comic adaptation I hadn't heard of would contain less CGI than Avengers.

 

 

[yoddler]

I liked it! Especially that crazy plot twist at the end...

 

 

In all seriousness though, at least there were some interesting thoughts and threads presented in it. Worth the rental for sure!

[stock_rotation]

and made into a film by the makers of the classic "Oldboy...

Nerd correction: It was produced by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), but it was written and directed by Bong Joon-ho ( The Host ).

It was crazy stupid

THIS IS A SHOE. A SHOE DOES NOT BELONG ON THE HEAD. Couldnt watch much more after that.

Can someone summarize wtf the movie was about? A train that doesnt need fuel that endlessly circles the globe without maintenance and sometimes they stick a dude's arm out to freeze then bust it with a hammer. Then there's a revolt. Can someone tell me what the movie is about?

[Dano]

Great movie!!! We loved it over at our house!!!

Did they explain where the food came from? Even if it was synthesized where did the raw materials come from?

Try to finish it Kav... all your questions will be answered.

 

Including Tilda Swinson's crazy arm gestures.

 

I equate this kind of movie to Bladerunner. Back in '82, you either loved that movie or you out and out hated it.

 

That sort of love/hate scenario... over time... lets movies like this become cult classics

[kav]

I might take another swat at it

[Bio-Rupp]

I have to add that the Academy absolutely LOVES roles like Tilda's.

 

She was crazy great in this film... that said, she's usually great in all her films.

 

When George put her in her place at the end of Michael Clayton, we all cheered

 

 

xxx ooo

She was incredible

[bronze_rules]

Thanks for bringing up snowpiercer. Seems like something I would even buy! (thumbs u My first thought was an older novel, "Snow Crash" (Neal Stephenson ) , anyone ever read that?

 

 

I know it's not a comic adaptation (and not snowpiercer)... but seems like it will be very cool for similar minded viewers.

I watched this a couple months back and is still by far one of the best movies I've seen this year. Right next to Raid 2 and Winter Soldier.

I liked it. I think a large part of the movie revolves around references to North Korea. Lots of symbolism. I still don't get what was up with that fish though.

 

It's not a movie that should be picked apart for plausibility as that is clearly not what the director is going for.

I assumed the fish was to ensure any wounds would become infected. Limited access to medicine would make that hard to deal with.

I didn't even think that and I guess I should have

 

I thought they were just showing how sharp the hatchets were
