Nice effects though.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I cannot even begin to imagine the mind of someone who would think of this film. It's mental, but it's just sensational

When I was looking at the negative reviews, they seemed completely focused on the fact that there are some major plots holes. I'll list some of the major ones with potential explanations at the bottom. But I find the plot holes completely irrelevant (even for ones you can't possibly come up with any creative explanation for), considering this obviously isn't a movie to be taken 100% seriously. If it was, why did they insert a comedic bit mid film? Hell, the entire plot is the last of humanity is surviving on a train that goes across the entire globe... Why anyone would think that a movie with a plot such as this is meant to be taken completely seriously as a realistic possible doomsday scenario is beyond me. Even in the biggest movies, like Star Wars, you could list dozens of plot holes. Like just one example, what is the point of lightsabers when you have guns that shoot lasers? The answer is because they're cool and F off for taking that movie completely seriously when it's clearly one of those great movies that you need to suspend disbelief to enjoy the universe it creates. Plot holes imo, are usually only a major problem in a film when they involve interpersonal interactions (like when characters lack all communication skills to artificially move the plot forward, like a character somehow doesn't think to say something EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that would have solved or prevented a problem) or if the movie is attempting to be true to reality as something that is probable. There are no such plot holes in this movie. With that out of the way, the movie has all the great elements of most movies. Character development, the pacing is great, a bit of action, comedy and creates an interesting surreal dark world that is entertaining to watch unfold. It almost has some elements of "The Hunger Games" and "The Signal" in style. A huge proportion of the characters are completely insane and it works great for a movie like this (which again, why would you take it seriously in the first place after reading the plot synopsis?) If you aren't looking for plot holes or explanations for the entirety of the movie and are capable to suspend disbelief, enjoy a bit of dark comedy, some violence and a fairly unique apocalyptic political dynamic among A LOT of crazy people in the unique universe it creates you're in for a ride.NOW FOR THE PLOT HOLE EXPLANATIONS. SPOILERS: 1. People frozen out the window haven't thawed. How can they then survive outside of the train. It's clearly still extremely cold. Potential explanation- The people that jumped the train left at the wrong time. The train goes up and down in altitude and crosses all over the planet where places will be warmer or colder depending on where you are. Also, people have discovered frozen people in mountains before. You know that right? Just because someone is frozen, doesn't mean it isn't possible to live anywhere if you have clothing that is sufficiently warm. Once you're dead, your body doesn't produce any heat. When your alive, it does. Completely possible for people to be frozen and the climate to still be viable to live in. 2. Couldn't they just have had a policy limiting the number of children they produce to control the population? There's a couple explanations you could come up with to explain that. 1) Like in China, perhaps they did, but it never worked. Turns out people still have sex when you have a population control policy. And birth control is something you could easily run out of with limited resources (shouldn't need that explanation, since it's pretty obvious). And 2) It's been pretty well documented that depression and suicide rates go up when a population isn't at war. When there isn't anything to fight for or any crisis, a substantial amount of people lose meaning in life. Having this artificial crisis can provide meaning for a population who would likely be VERY prone to depression, when the entire purpose of their life is simply to survive in a train.

I've never written a review before in my entire life but as I'm sitting here in my friend's apartment watching this God awful film, I knew something had to done. This movie literally has me lost for words. The trailer completely misconstrued what the purpose of this film was. It was just a complete mess of a movie that I refuse to take seriously. I don't know how this was created into a film. Yikes!

Some elements of the movie just do not make sense. There are things that could be automated without needing any children.No matter, if one follows the story, there is of course some well done parts. For example, when we are showed the different parts of the train, although a bit over the top, they are catchy and do their job. For this one star.The rest of the story is a no brainer, been there done that. I found the ending quite funny, especially when one kid appears in a frame without a jacket and in the next one, with a fur coat..Unforunately, I have seen this one in the movie theatre. If you want to watch something without thinking much; this is one of those.
