This came out about 4 years ago and it is freaking weird.
We watched it last night. Parts of it really disturbed me.

Tilda Swinton is Tilda Swinton-ing so hard in that movie. Love it
It was a very divisive movie on here if I recall

Seems like it came up in a lot of threads as well. Basically a hate it or love it movie.

The worst movie I've ever seen for how much "acclaim" it gets.
We watched it based on the Rotten Tomatoes review (95%) and were so impressed with how bad the plot was and the ridiculous scenarios, that we had to keep watching the train wreck (pun intended)...
It's one of those movies where people are so eager to excuse the new hip foreign director that they put on blinders for how awful the movie is. They will defend it because they think you just don't "get it". Like that SMUG episode of South Park.
No it's not a high minded metaphor for our future or a plausible dystopian of the icey effects of climate change. It's a very thin facade that is low and guffaw-worthy.

SpreadsheetAg did not care for it
As I recall, I watched it based on the Rotten Tomatoes review (95%) and was so impressed with how well-constructed the plot was and the very plausible scenarios, and just had to keep watching the wild train ride (no pun intended)....
I'm always eager to watch a movie by a hip foreign director and really keep a critical eye open for how great the movie is. Although I understand that some people won't "get it". Like that Scientology episode of South Park.
To me, it's a high minded metaphor for our future or a plausible dystopian of the icey effects of climate change.
Just kidding I've never even heard of it.

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed watching it the whole time, but would roll my eyes at anyone who got all excited about its metaphorical undertones. It was a video game, and it looked cool, and I enjoyed Captain America not being as annoying to me as he usually is, and the aforementioned thorough Swintoning.
I liked Octavia Spenser.
But probably because it is so rare to see Tanya as a character's name, even if they pronounced it wrong, in a movie.

Tanya, that was me watching Paranormal Activity. You never see Micah in a movie, and then one of the main characters in the movie is Micah and they mispronounce it the entire movie. It's m+eye+kuh, not mee+kuh.
Anayway, I agree with the professor regarding snowpiercer. He echoed my thoughts on the movie.

I enjoyed it and ignored all of the metaphorical undertones. I just thought it was interesting that you had a caste system by train car on something that tightly spaced.
I really wanted to like it. The plot sounded so cool and it had so much critical acclaim. I just couldn't get into it.
I thought it was good but not great.
I just hope you don't think it sucked.
Shoes don't belong on heads
The classroom scene with Tilda was a perfect imagination of a dystopian future.
The rest was hot garbage.

This movie was hot garbage at best. Complete waste of time.
Was channel surfing one night and saw it had 4 stars.
Never got thru the entire show. Very disturbing. Not my idea of entertainment.
Wish I had that hour or so back.

This is one of those movies where I get the criticism and agree to an extent while still enjoying the movie. It was absurd, but entertaining. Like if you took every dystopian trope and shoved it as tight as possible into a train.
I liked it and thought it was very odd.
I didn't care as much about Baby Driver.
To each their own I guess.

Fell asleep.
It was a typical relatively enjoyable comic book flick.
It was entertaining.
These days, that's pretty much all you can ask for.
Another foreign train film that recently got huge accolades that I watched on Netflix is "Train to Busan."
Again, it was entertaining. Do these movies deserve all the acclaim? Maybe not, but that doesn't make them bad.

I liked it, thought it was very cool. Great visuals.
What were the metaphoric undertones again? I remember watching it, liking it, but not loving it. I haven't watched it since. I do remember liking the fight scene in the steam/sauna room.
In the move are kids bodies used to power the train?

No. Maintenance.
I thought they discovered they were eating bugs turned into a paste or some such.
I didn't care for it, but I though The Host was brilliant. A dysfunctional family full of failures, finally come together, overcome many difficulties to heroically save the boy, and still fail.
Bump as well

Careful... a little too early for any of that, I think.
