Movies: Snowpiercer



Captain America aka Chris Evans aka Mr Formerly Dorky plays a hero in this post apocalyptic movie where everyone who could possibly survive are the ones with enough money to stay on a train that goes around the freezing world. Think of it as the Titanic train. Instead of lower decks, the third class citizens are placed in the rear end of the train.

However, unlike the ship, this train is managed by the benevolet Mr xxx. A generous entity whose presence is mysterious as it is revered. Humanity lies in the train as the world has become an inhabitable universe due to the extreme weather. There's no mistaking Evans but Tilda Swinton is almost unrecognizable. The language barrier is a bit illogical but once you get past that, the movie is rather enjoyable.

The ending opens the possibility of a sequel but it's almost unlikely that Hollywood would team up with Korean again. I just can't wrap my head around it too. Slightly confusing. The Korean and American, not the storyline.
