Critics Consensus

Snowpiercer offers an audaciously ambitious action spectacular for filmgoers numb to effects-driven blockbusters.

J. Hoberman

The New York Review of Books

A madcap addition to the comic-book-derived movies that have dominated cinematic summer fare.

That rare experience you don't get to have much in the summer anymore, a loud, clanging, original action flick that's grabbing you by the lapels and yelling in your ears.

Toronto Sun

It's a wicked, violent parable, and one of the only movies of the summer worth talking about after the credits roll.

Rated: 4.5/5

Snowpiercer is one of the most unique post-apocalyptic film’s I’ve ever seen, and my pick for the best science fiction film from 2014.

It is barking mad but after a turgid first hour, it becomes a bit more fun. Pleased I got round to watching one of the wackier dystopian concepts. Watched on Amazon Prime.

Like the Matrix on a train, dumb ending though, no chance for survival. How about the guy who lost his arm because of the cold, now it's not cold? WTF?

It's a bit weird at times, but 'Snowpiercer' is a very unique action movie with a strong plot and cool moments.

Not a very good movie that pulls out a good ending. The shootout scenes looked terrible.
