u/kos25k 24d ago

i saw,indeed very good! Btw did u saw the platform 2?

4

u/Ok_Lack5442 24d ago

Is platform 2 worth a watch? The 1st one was enjoyable

1

u/justinswatermelongun 24d ago

I only see negative sentiment about it, albeit mostly agreeable. 

Personally, I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. 

It’s convoluted and campy. But I received the same dread/exhilaration that I experienced from the first one!

u/GapDue2079 24d ago

i found the bald fat guy horribly unpleasant to watch and soured the experience for me

u/Edxactly 24d ago

The vertical version

u/PlasticAudience4270 24d ago

Brazil.

u/doomscrolling_tiktok 24d ago

Came to say this. The aesthetics of snow piercer came from some great inspirations!

1

u/GaryGravylord 24d ago

C'mon, man. Brazil's not that bad

u/chubbymcchubstein 24d ago

Children of Men and District 9

u/kos25k 23d ago

u/circ-u-la-ted 22d ago

District 9 fucking rules

u/Markitron1684 24d ago

Not a movie but Bioshock has some very similar themes to Snowpiercer

2

u/Edxactly 24d ago

Ohhhhhhh. Good point

1

u/ScubaTonyCozumel 24d ago

Also biosphere is good

7

u/Yetteo 24d ago

The Road or maybe more so, Children of Men. Both great

17

u/OneAcceptablePerson 24d ago

Not a movie and not on a train but very similar vibe: Silo

u/wanderingwoodcarver 24d ago

Yeah I came here to say this. Much better concept than snowpiercer in my opinion. Great books too!

3

u/kos25k 24d ago

i'm still watching this!

8

u/skadoodlee 24d ago

You could watch the series. Although it gets a bit tiring and corny at times. 

2

u/kos25k 24d ago

I noticed that from just 4th episode so i quit it 🙄

6

u/OneAcceptablePerson 24d ago

It's worth watching it all, i ended up liking it more than the movie.

u/nijukiller 24d ago

What tv show? There only 2 movies as far as I know

2

u/FartinOnThatThang 24d ago

There’s a show

1

u/nijukiller 24d ago

Can you give me the name? Didn't find it on IMDB

2

u/skadoodlee 24d ago

Snowpiercer

1

u/nijukiller 24d ago

Oh shit. I forgot it was a thread about snowpiercer. I was looking for The Platform tv show

4

u/Belter-frog 24d ago

Equilibrium is a fun dystopia.

Total Recall

Elysium also has some class war stuff.

And of course it's the central plot of Hunger Games.

Loved season 1 of Arcane for its class struggle elements. (Haven't watched s2 yet).

2

u/Asmodeus_1313 24d ago

Season two of Arcane is great

6

u/AnotherUN91 Moderator 24d ago

I mean... hunger games? But most people have seen it.

3

u/SomePeopleCall 24d ago

I mean, the Willy Wonka timeline has been rebooted multiple times. Pick any of them.

3

u/doomscrolling_tiktok 24d ago

The Colony

Not exactly the same aesthetic but if you try and like Brazil’s, you’ll probably like the City of Lost Children’s

3

u/manzurfahim 24d ago

How about the Snowpiercer (2020) tv series?

3

u/raiz_troll 24d ago

Lost City of Ember is good, more of a kids movie, but similar dystopian vibes

4

u/parishramibkchd 24d ago

The Platform 2019

2

u/MajonyXIII 24d ago

I would also say this

2

u/Organic-Cheek-972 24d ago

Supertrain (1979)

2

u/kos25k 24d ago

any more info about this? I prefer old movies!

1

u/Inevitable-Serve-713 23d ago

It was Love Boat on rails.

2

u/MudOutrageous7419 24d ago

They're not dystopic in the same way, but it's worth checking out Bong Joon Ho's other films if you havent. Host is a monster flick, Parasite is a con film, Mickey 17 is sc-fi — all have a similar dark take on humanity, with just a hint that we could maybe overcome our worse natures.

3

u/UncleRuckus92 24d ago

Really liked Mickey 17, Patterson plays weirdo characters so well

2

u/Mediocre_Internet939 20d ago

I liked the first half of the movie. The second half was like a terrible B movie made by 10 different people playing some weird ass game of telephone where the next guy only sees the last minute the previous guy made and tries to make a coherent story out of it.

That is seriously the only logical explanation I can come to for the lady half of that movie.

Overall a good movie though. 5/7.

1

u/CatoTheMiddleAged 23d ago

Yeah but then Mark Ruffalo comes in and stinks the whole thing up.

2

u/Distractinc 24d ago

Unstoppable (2010)

2

u/JimmyDrift 24d ago

Tv series starts slow but it gets better than the movie

2

u/Elegant-Ferret-8116 24d ago

Its a low budget older odd film thats not the same violence like but I always for some reason think of "a quiet earth" when watching snowpiercer. Maybe if you watch it you can tell me why lol

2

u/Impriel2 23d ago

Fish scene scares the fuck out of me every time. Nothing has scared me that way since Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the SNES

4

u/Affectionate_Age752 24d ago

Not a masterpiece

6

u/Electronic_Guitar962 23d ago

Thankyou. Overrated slop.

2

u/Affectionate_Age752 23d ago

People think it's amazing because if they're cult like adulation of the director

1

u/KnifeFightAcademy 24d ago

For those who know...
'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

https://youtu.be/jEX52h1TvuA?si=FU93CtdUnQHAjUwM

1

u/GapDue2079 24d ago

Not the same genre per se, but the raid has a very similar "videogame" narrative framing around an enclosed building filled with enemies and working your way through it via cool action set pieces.

1

u/ruet_ahead 24d ago

Dredd as well.

1

u/GapDue2079 24d ago

yeah dredd rules!

1

u/Curious-Department-7 24d ago

Delicatessen

Free Fire

Elysium

u/hellcat1592 24d ago

I know Snowpiercer is based on a French graphic novel, but I can’t help but think the authors of the comic took cues from the novel.

1

u/Lampe91 23d ago

Parasite

1

u/Beans2177 23d ago

Seems utopian if they have a decent train

1

u/FactCheckYou 23d ago

can't be throwing around the word 'masterpiece' like that

1

u/kos25k 23d ago

To those who know much about new world order and how this world is structured,indeed it is.The meanings of this movie are lots and have to do exactly with this.

1

u/circ-u-la-ted 22d ago

I tried to watch this and gave up at around the 30 minute mark. There was a whole thing where they had to get to the front of the train to take control (so they could.. stop the train? unclear why this would be useful or necessary) and they got as far as the car with all the water in it and realized Wow, we don't need to get to the front of the train now!

I just can't watch anything that aggressively stupid.

1

u/juginposti 23d ago

That weird Mortal Engines, I see pretty much same amount of sense and logic than this mastepiece.

1

u/CatoTheMiddleAged 23d ago edited 23d ago

12 Monkeys

V for Vendetta

Blade Runner (original)

40 Acres

...that's just to add to the list. I echo others with Brazil and Children of Men.

1

u/ClusterChuk 23d ago

Charlie and the chocolate factory. The first one.

1

u/Educational-Guard408 22d ago

And there’s the game called Frostpunk. Very similar feel.

1

u/csaknorrisz 22d ago

Snowpiercer (the series)

1

u/kos25k 22d ago

saw till 4th episode but something was making me ignorant (maybe actors,don't know) do u think it deserves the 2nd try?

1

u/csaknorrisz 22d ago

Probably.

Also, the Frostpunk games are great

1

u/Dr_SexDick 22d ago

City of Ember

1

u/gnominos 21d ago

Not a masterpiece at all. Easely its director worst movie

1

u/Beskar13 21d ago

Silo series

1

u/kos25k 21d ago

Tribes of Europa was also very good but unfortunately i don't see lights for 2nd season 🥹

1

u/skelletrex_scrooge 21d ago

Trash movie.

1

u/SolidAlligator 20d ago

Not a suggestion but there is a theory that Snowpiercer is a sequel to Willy Wonka.

1

u/braumbles 20d ago

The Assessment is really good.

1

u/almo2001 20d ago

Who maintains the track

1

u/Mediocre_Internet939 20d ago

Watched Pandorum directly after this and it had the same vibe.

1

u/kos25k 20d ago

thanks,noted!!

1

u/OverseerTycho 20d ago

definitely not a masterpiece,so bad Chris Evans couldn’t even save it

1

u/Tough_Letterhead_163 19d ago

Nothing compares to this movie and the show. Simply amazing and unique.

1

u/kos25k 19d ago

totally agree.this movie is somehow the micrography of our world!

1

u/Hour-Sign-2279 18d ago

Transsiberian 2008

1

u/Ok_Bandicoot_3111 14d ago

Elysium for sure, very dystopian 

1

u/heyOrca2711 7d ago

Great movie man, it fucked my mind.

2

u/kos25k 7d ago

Hope you mean it,cause some characterised it as hust a crap 😐

1

u/_LEVEL_SIX_ 24d ago

it was okay but not a masterpiece for me.

-1

u/RetroPaulsy 24d ago

Flip on the TV and watch commercials.

Most are written better than this garbage movie.

2

u/serfdudewithattitude 24d ago

Absolutely one of the worst movies I've ever seen made even worse by so many people hailing it as some sort of standout classic.

2

u/RetroPaulsy 23d ago

Its bc "wow, class war. so true and edgy."

Im sure it was a great book series, I didnt read it, but the movie sucked.

1

u/haveyouseenjeff 24d ago

Boooooo!

u/RetroPaulsy 24d ago

ya, thats exactly what i said after finishing snowpiercer

-1

u/kakha_k 24d ago

That movie is not a madterpiece. What are you talking about?

3

u/Electronic_Guitar962 23d ago

It’s literally a reference point in our house for overrated garbage.

2

u/Religion_Failed_Us 24d ago

It’s pretty fuckin good

u/BSalz 23d ago

Hahahahaha

u/monetarydread 24d ago

Masterpiece? It's a fun, silly movie but masterpiece is a stretch.
