Snowpiercer

Korea

Extremely violent 'sci-fi' dystopian yarn. Someone tried to stop global warming by injecting bad stuff into the atmosphere and the world froze...completely. Bummer.

The only survivors ride around on this world-circling train. Why it moves isn't clear. Train is strictly stratified. The proles fight their way to the front, the engine, killing and getting killed in brutal ways. There they find Ed Harris. In the end almost everybody dies. The train crashes. A girl and a kid escape. The end.

Preposterous shading into idiotic. Cliches abound. Nice set design.
