Featured reviews
The movie was really tense. I like the scenario. But I don't get why they made such a bad end for such a good movie.
It's a very clever and interesting premise, it came up as a horror recommendation, I would class it more in the suspenseful thriller bracket. It showcases mankind at its very worst, it basically sets out a message that you're alright at the top, and as you come down the social order, things just get worse and worse, with those above you doing slightly better.
Socially and ideologically this is a major triumph, it really does get you thinking, particularly in these days where has had such a terrible impact worldwide.
I thought the acting was superb, normally I dislike dubbed films, but in this instance I didn't even notice it, I enjoyed it that much.
Genuinely terrific acting. I would have liked to have seen a bit of those running the regime, but I guess they wanted ambiguity.
Quality, 9/10.

I don't get the people giving lower than a 7-star rating and nagging about plot holes and the ending.
It's a movie that requires a lot of thought since EVERYTHING represents something. I even saw one review that said "how did they know that the platform is not reaching the ceiling at the top floor -it could kill them-" Well, OF COURSE the platform cant bang on the ceiling since someone has to place the buffet there. What's the point of a platform banging on the freaking ceiling?! After that, it s a REPRESENTATION. You can't interpret this movie literally. Everything is an Allegory! Please, read some reviews here that have the interpretation of every character and scene. You will immediately think.. wow! It will be really helpful.
I wish it was a serie that I could watch everyday. Really interesting movie, definitely recommending it!

The premise is very good and interesting, and the story captures you right away, the acting is solid and the movie overall is definitely worth the time.
It is also dark and bloody but it makes is point and leave you thinking about capitalism, survival and people being people.
However the ending doesn't match the expectations, plot holes are an issue (an issue that can be filled with interpretations) but still I think they could delivered better.

I liked this movie and found the acting of all the actors very noteworthy.
Fans of Snowpiercer n Cube will definitely enjoy this.
One of the best part is that the director made sure that the camera doesn't linger much on the gory aspects n even the unpleasant stuff is fast paced.
