Surprise of my life!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2020Verified Purchase
Now I don't really like this genre of film and have been avoiding it like the plague, but with Bong Joon-ho at the helm as Director and for making the absolute genius of a film Parasite, I'd be a fool to continue living my life in ignorance. This film absolutely doesn't disappoint. This really is a superb cast and you've got to think to yourself, with names like Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris and John Hurt in the frame, would they really sign up to something substandard film or script wise? A shock to my system was Chris Evans. Now I'm probably the only one left in the whole wide world who has never watched a Captain America film, but it's a very nuanced performance and if he continues to make brave and bold acting choices, he will win an Academy Award one day. The only thing that spoils the packaging of this film is the Weinstein name. Apparently, he was a beast when it came to the release of this film and not allowing it to be nationwide. Anyway, I urge you all to watch this and better still, get your own copy like me. Consequently, I have now hunted down every single film Bong Joon-ho has made because he is a true master of his craft and a consummate genius in my opinion.

Bought this as a new release but it's a 2013 movie
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2020Verified Purchase
I thought this was a new movie, as pre-ordered 4 weeks ago, but have discovered it's a 2013 moive, and it was on TV the night before I received it. It says 2020 - but movie is old, 7yrs old.

Pretty good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2020Verified Purchase
This popped up in my recommendations. The name was familiar from a TV show on Netflix, but I had never heard of the movie. A SciFi movie that was good enough to spawn a tv spinoff, had this amazing cast list, had all these rave reviews on YouTube, and the director just hit big at the Oscars with another movie... and yet I never heard of this one?
Apparantly the production company fell out with the director, they wanted him to make a more conventional Hollywood hero movie. And then... that production company was the Weinstein Company and we know what happened to that. It's so unfair that so much talented work from this and other movies got obliterated because of one guy whose name happens to be on the company logo.
Anyway, the movie itself ranged from good, to excellent at times. Some of the camera flourishes were quite stunning. The plot makes very little sense of course, it's just a vehicle (no pun intended) that allows for periodic sequences like levels in a game as the embittered heroes progress through the carriages to the big boss at the front. But it was enjoyable nontheless.
Worth a watch.

BONG’S DERIVATIVE DYSTOPIA IS VIOLENT ~ BUT CLEVER & ENGROSSING.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2021Verified Purchase
This is a review of the excellent 2020 Region B2 Blu-ray from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. It comes with masses of extras.
We are big Sci-Fi fans, and also admirers of South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho. His 2006 Sci-Fi monster movie ‘The Host’ is hugely enjoyable, his noirish ‘Memories of Murder’(2003) dark and disturbing. OSCAR-winning ‘Parasite’(2019) is clever and shocking. This 2013 film, also a Sci-Fi thriller, is all of these things, and more.
The film is based on a French graphic novel, characterised as ‘post-apocalyptic climate fiction’(!) from 1982, ‘Le Transperceneige’. BASED ON, but not ACTUALLY the same story. Bong himself co-wrote the screenplay, as he usually does with his films. It was his first English-language film. However, the film co-stars Korean actor Song Kang-ho, Bong’s regular leading man, who is also in ‘Memories’, ‘Host’ and ‘Parasite’: Song speaks only Korean in the film, and there are others too. The film is something of a UN event, as it is a Korean-Czech co-production, filmed in Prague, with fabulous-looking location shooting in the Austrian Tyrol. The lead actors are Korean, American and British.
The plot, as re-modelled by Bong, is built around a radical scientific remedy for Global Warming going disastrously awry. The remnants of humanity end up travelling permanently onboard a train, ‘Snowpiercer’, that is a closed eco-system. But on board, not everyone is equal. The story is both interesting and alarming, and the train is a novel idea. However, the overarching concept harks back to several other films involving climate or environmental catastrophes, and dystopian societies: ‘Soylent Green’(1973); ‘Mad Max’(1979); ’The Day After Tomorrow’(2004); ‘The Road’(2009); even the previous year’s ‘Hunger Games’, and Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’, with it’s exploitation of children. And there is a hint too, of the ‘Ship of Fools’ from Plato’s ‘Republic’, which is itself an allegory about the problems of governance. The film clearly draws on ideas from all these, so in that sense, it feels very derivative.
That said, the film looks very good indeed ~ the design of the train is superb. And it is a thrilling, engrossing, story, derivative or not. It is certainly disturbing; it does not portray humanity as very noble or even particularly worthy of survival. Slightly annoyingly, although it explains a number of things, the screenplay never identifies why the inequality amongst the passengers occurred. However, the depiction and the consequences are graphic, horrifying and visceral.
The film is violent, in places shockingly so. ‘Parasite’ is the same, but actually, here it seems right, justified even; Bong’s trademark ‘occasional manic moments’ are less glaringly out of place. The action is non-stop and thunderous, but never without thought. And the performances from the excellent ensemble cast are strong.
Hugely well-received on release, surviving attempts by producer Harvey Weinstein to make sweeping, pointless cuts, this is inventive, thoughtful, scary cinema, a smidgeon under 5 Stars.

Not a bad film on the whole, had a bit of a 'low budget' feel about it, which was strange considering the fairly big names starring in it, still an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours though.
