Snowpiercer anyone?

Bueller??

I think at least two folks on my flist have seen this movie -- please link me because I went back a long way and could not find your reviews.

For the record I thought it was incredibly gripping, and I WOULD recommend it.  However, you need to like films that are not made in America.  You have to realize that this film is based on a FRENCH GRAPHIC NOVEL.  So if you like, for example, CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, then you are prepared for this film. It is NOT trying to be the next Transformers.

Chris did an awesome job btw.

Oh I can't wait to see this! Don't know how since it appears to be in very limited release, but when I get a chance I will go : D

I loooved City of Lost Children and everything I've heard about Snowpiercer sounds like it's right up my alley.

I think you can stream it. But I saw it in an art house. I recommend the big screen if you can get to it!

I think you will REALLY DIG IT.

Chris rocked it, he really did.

I absolutely want to see this film!

I'm going to try to write a review tomorrow, or perhaps two reviews. because I went in spoiler free, and I think that is a good way to see it. :)

It is a hardhitting moview about class struggle, limited resources, our destiny as a species, etc. So be prepared!

I saw previews and it hit all of my sensitive areas (the woman bellowing, "Keep to your rightful place" and all that)... It made my inner Silverheart pull out her Nebula Pistol, let's say ;-)

I haven't seen La Citée des Enfants Perdus yet, but I did see their other film, Delicatessen ;-)

i saw it but couldn't write a review, partly because i saw catws for the third time that same night, and by the time i got home i was overloaded with feels and my brain was fried.

my reaction was basically "HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT". and also "oh, my heart". i liked it as much as you can like such a bleak, black-humored, rocks-fall-everyone-dies movie - when that's not generally your thing - and i thought everyone in it was fantastic and it looked fucking stunning and i'm really glad i got to see it, but i can't sit through it again. it was kind of intense.

(apparently it bears very little resemblance to the graphic novel, altho the guy who drew the graphic novel did the charcoal illustrations in the movie.)
