Great directing & story telling
A chiller thriller!
So, everyone left alive on Earth is on a big train. They can't can't get off the train because the world is frozen. There are classes in society & of course, the higher ups abuse their power. So, the oppressed fight back. As the lower class moves up, we see how the train is laid out. We learn the secrets of the train. And then, well watch the movie. I don't want to give any more of the story away.

Let me say that Tilda Swinton is fantastic in her role. Her character is one of the greatest I've seen on film. You hate her, you laugh at her, she's nice, she's a bitch. She is so great, I just want to watch the movie again to enjoy her.

There are some great scenes as well, that use lighting to a great effect. The action scenes are great, but the characters are better. You really get to know them & you want to know them.

If you're into sci-fi thrillers, don't miss this one!

It's worth it. Funny I bought it and then loaned to a friend who never gave it back so I bought it again!

The story, the effects, the acting were all good. (0 more)
There's inconsistency. The super pig varies in size so as to suit each scene. But, hey, I'm an observant pedantic. (0 more)
An alright fantasy film with a serious message.
A lovingly told story with that theme that seems to run through most stories - Good vs. Evil. It's not really an anti- meat eater film but more focusses on how consumerism has made the breeding of animals money orientated. Greed then subverts compassion. Great stints put in by Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhall and Paul Dano.
