I really, really liked this film. If you can get over the logical aspects of some of the concepts and let yourself be swept away by the fantastical nature of it all, you'll dig it.
It's unique. Genre bending. The caricature nature of some of the characters and ideas makes this seem like a Roald Dahl children's movie; but the violence, gore, and themes suggests otherwise.
It's a shame it only got a limited release since I think it deserved much more (oh Harvey Weinstein). Then again, I'm not completely sure if general audiences would buy some of its ideas. I can also imagine the ending being fairly polarizing.
I'm a fan of Bong Joon-ho's THE HOST and MOTHER. Those movies really stuck with me and SNOWPIERCER is no exception.
