This film does a very good job at what it sets out to be. And that is, in essence, a commentary on society's predetermined "classes" we're all put in at birth and what happens when those ideals get taken to the extreme, as well as an environmental message somewhere probably. As I said before, I'm not here to analyze films for their deeper meanings or whatever, that's not my job. I'm here to simply give my thoughts.
The entire cast is spectacular in this film. Chris Evans is great as always, and his supporting cast such as John Hurt and Tilda Swinton do excellent jobs as well. Tilda Swinton does a fantastic job as a very unlikable villain, and I found myself hating her more than I hated the ACTUAL main antagonist himself. So props to her on her end. The only complaint I have about the film is the exposition for why the earth around them has frozen over went a bit too fast for my liking, and I feel like it could have been fleshed out some more. Though, the world being frozen over isn't the main purpose of the film or its focus, so it's really nothing noticeable. Oh, and the shaky cam got a bit annoying at times.

Snowpiercer. God, what a fucking trip of a film.

Overall a 9/10
