Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Fantastic!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

When I was looking at the negative reviews, they seemed completely focused on the fact that there are some major plots holes. I'll list some of the major ones with potential explanations at the bottom. But I find the plot holes completely irrelevant (even for ones you can't possibly come up with any creative explanation for), considering this obviously isn't a movie to be taken 100% seriously. If it was, why did they insert a comedic bit mid film? Hell, the entire plot is the last of humanity is surviving on a train that goes across the entire globe... Why anyone would think that a movie with a plot such as this is meant to be taken completely seriously as a realistic possible doomsday scenario is beyond me. Even in the biggest movies, like Star Wars, you could list dozens of plot holes. Like just one example, what is the point of lightsabers when you have guns that shoot lasers? The answer is because they're cool and F off for taking that movie completely seriously when it's clearly one of those great movies that you need to suspend disbelief to enjoy the universe it creates. Plot holes imo, are usually only a major problem in a film when they involve interpersonal interactions (like when characters lack all communication skills to artificially move the plot forward, like a character somehow doesn't think to say something EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that would have solved or prevented a problem) or if the movie is attempting to be true to reality as something that is probable. There are no such plot holes in this movie. With that out of the way, the movie has all the great elements of most movies. Character development, the pacing is great, a bit of action, comedy and creates an interesting surreal dark world that is entertaining to watch unfold. It almost has some elements of "The Hunger Games" and "The Signal" in style. A huge proportion of the characters are completely insane and it works great for a movie like this (which again, why would you take it seriously in the first place after reading the plot synopsis?) If you aren't looking for plot holes or explanations for the entirety of the movie and are capable to suspend disbelief, enjoy a bit of dark comedy, some violence and a fairly unique apocalyptic political dynamic among A LOT of crazy people in the unique universe it creates you're in for a ride.NOW FOR THE PLOT HOLE EXPLANATIONS. SPOILERS: 1. People frozen out the window haven't thawed. How can they then survive outside of the train. It's clearly still extremely cold. Potential explanation- The people that jumped the train left at the wrong time. The train goes up and down in altitude and crosses all over the planet where places will be warmer or colder depending on where you are. Also, people have discovered frozen people in mountains before. You know that right? Just because someone is frozen, doesn't mean it isn't possible to live anywhere if you have clothing that is sufficiently warm. Once you're dead, your body doesn't produce any heat. When your alive, it does. Completely possible for people to be frozen and the climate to still be viable to live in. 2. Couldn't they just have had a policy limiting the number of children they produce to control the population? There's a couple explanations you could come up with to explain that. 1) Like in China, perhaps they did, but it never worked. Turns out people still have sex when you have a population control policy. And birth control is something you could easily run out of with limited resources (shouldn't need that explanation, since it's pretty obvious). And 2) It's been pretty well documented that depression and suicide rates go up when a population isn't at war. When there isn't anything to fight for or any crisis, a substantial amount of people lose meaning in life. Having this artificial crisis can provide meaning for a population who would likely be VERY prone to depression, when the entire purpose of their life is simply to survive in a train.

Its a movie of deep philosophical understanding . This movie question Core social Quota and Its system. You can compare it with your country or Government .If you deserve some captain America type action from Chris Evan , Its not for you Its plot ask a deeper question to the viewer about reality ,government,economy,punishment, and law .The trains mother engine is keeping everybody alive in a disciplined manner but question arise how you define the law and equality . The plot motto can be " when injustice became the law resistance becomes the duty ' ( sometime created by the system for its interest), ln the end the resistance can destroy a fully functional system with much destructive power . Its may be not perfect but who knows the future will may repeat or learn . Thanks go to the writer , director and Chris evan . Will inspire generations ahead . Is my system is broken ?

This film came very highly recommended, if only from one of those countless number of Youtube sites that seem to deal exclusively with movies. Okay, it was listed as one of the must see movies, though ironically all of these must see movies were basically newer ones. Anyway, the film is based an a French comic book from the 70s and is actually touted as South Korea's most expensive film ever made (and it was directed by a South Korean). This does have the effect of setting it apart from much of the rubbish that seems to be filling our cinema screens these days. So, the story goes that the world is suffering the effects of Climate Change, and they decide to solve it by spraying stuff into the upper atmosphere. It worked, but the problem is that it worked a little too well - the entire world froze. Anyway, this excentric billionaire had build a railway line that circumnavigated the world, and was set up so people could live on it for years at a time, so pretty much everybody scrambled to get on board, though those who were not able to pay the hefty price tag were either denied entry or relegated to the tail section. The film begins in the tail section, which not surprising is overcrowded, and the people are basically poor and are fed things call protein bars. Every so often soldiers come in to hand out the food, but one day they come and take away all of the children, which pushes the people, who is led by Chris Evans (who plays Captain America, though not in this film) to stage a revolt. The whole idea is to get from one side of the train to the other and take control of the engine. The problem is that there happens to be a series of sealed doors between them and their goal, so they also need a technician to be able to break though. This film is clearly a comment on the class culture, but I think it goes much further than that. The way I see it it seems to be a microcosm of the world in which we live. If you happen to live in a poor country then good luck actually getting out of that country to get to a better country. In fact these days there seems to be a lot more borders being closed, and refuges relegated to detention camps in places that are even more inhospitable. I guess the problem is that it is the case of the rich not wanting to share with the poor, and also this idea that the poor are in that situation through either their own fault, or some curse by some divine power. In a sense it seems to be an essence of entitlement, but in another sense many of us who are wealthy simply have no dialogue with the poor. We simply don't understand and don't want to understand. Actually this film goes even further to create this idea that the poor should actually be grateful that they get what they do from the rich. In a way it is a sickening concept, yet I can't claim to be all that innocent of it either. I guess it just happens to be that bubble that we to live in. Another thing that stands out in this film is its quirkiness. This is a trait of many French films, and it seems that the South Koreans have kept with it. I have seen other adaptations of French stories, such as Tintin, and they seem to shy away from it. Well, this isn't the case here - they embrace it with open arms. This is something that I find great about this film - the characters have their little quirks and oddities, particularly the ones from the front of the train. It seems that this is also a nature of the divide, where wealth and luxury actually breeds these quirks, whereas the poor are simply struggling to survive. However, in the end, the old addage still holds true - he who dies with the most toys, still dies.

Fantastic photography and great actors highlight this post-apocalyptic action thriller. Chris Evans is hardly recognizable and delivers one of the best performances yet! I absolutely loved him in the role of the protagonist. The film depicts so well humanity's inclinations to barrier the rich from the poor, even in times of desperation and chaos, when they're supposed to unite. It was incredibly well done.
