In a future where a failed climate-change experiment has killed all life except for the lucky few who boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, a new class system emerges.
Set in 2031, the entire world is frozen except for those aboard the Snowpiercer. For 17 years, the world's survivors are on a train hurtling around the globe creating their own economy and class system. Led by Curtis, a group of lower-class citizens living in squalor at the back of the train are determined to get to the front of the train and spread the wealth around. Each section of the train holds new surprises for the group who have to battle their way through. A revolution is underway.Written by

When Wilford says that Curtis was the first person to ever go through the whole train, it's not true. Claude went from the first car to the last one and back when she took the kids. See more »

When I saw that IMDb had a trailer for this movie on its home page, I was pretty surprised. Even though it has some well known actors from the U.S., I didn't think a Korean movie would end up being shown there. After watching the trailer, I was really excited to see the movie. I love movies. I go and watch movies all the time, but sadly I'm not very critical about them.
However, this movie was amazing. I strongly recommend watching it. It's spectacular. Even though it's considered "low budget" by Hollywood standards, it has amazing visuals and a great story line. I was riveted the whole way through. I really can't stop thinking about the movie and how I think I might even go back to the theater to see it again (which is something I never do). So really--it's great. I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but overall the movie was fantastic!
