#snowpiercer

After many, many years of saying to myself "I should watch #SnowPiercer at some point" the point finally arrived tonight and I did, indeed, watch Snowpiercer. I wish I'd watched it earlier.

Naturally, it suffers from a lot of "but how did they...?" questions that were never answered, but the underlying character/social elements were decent. Tilda Swinton was ridiculously good. Chris Evans, very surprisingly, was also excellent.

Very enjoyable.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a scifi movie set in a frigid environment, rife with themes of class struggle, featuring a well known actor who has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe wearing prosthetic teeth to play a cartoonishly over the top villian, and directed by Bong Joon Ho, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's odd that it should happen twice.

Since Netflix doesn’t want to release the fourth season of Snowpiercer, I acquired it by other means.

I did not expect it to be such a striking allegory against tech solutionism and the “man genius” that is going to save the world (actually destroying it).

This last season is a really great send-off for a fantastic show. Intriguing story, great set design, and trains. 10/10. Can recommend.
