David McK (3932 KP) rated Secret Invasion in TV
Aug 5, 2023 (Updated Aug 5, 2023)
Here, Fury uncovers a Skrull dissident plot to infiltrate the Earth and wipe out humanity, and has to - somehow - stop that from occurring.
Unfortunately, despite an intriguing premise (shapeshifters), the series as a whole wastes it's cast somewhat, with more than a few WTF (and not necessarily in a good way) moments over the course of its run.

Andy K (10827 KP) rated Snowpiercer (2013) in Movies
Jan 5, 2018
The cast is led by Chris Evans, but also features Kang-ho Song, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer and Jamie Bell.
Humanity has evolved similar to what I have read about the Titanic, meaning, the lower classes at the back of the train suffering to survive and the upper classes more forward living in luxury.
There is an uprising within the squalor and the inhabitants attempt to ascertain their situation by taking the cars ahead one-by-one. The story is very interesting and the people and situations the rebels meet along their way to the engine keep you surprised.
The engine also contains an interesting character who is eluded to within the beginning of the film.
The ending was somewhat controversial when the movie was first released; however, I find it more than satisfactory to tie up the story.
Check it out for yourself.
