About this product

After a failed global-warming experiment, a post-apocalyptic Ice Age has killed off nearly all life on the planet. All that remains of humanity are the lucky few survivors that boarded the SNOWPIERCER, a train that travels around the globe, powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system has evolved aboard the train, fiercely dividing it's population - but a revolution is brewing. The lower-class passengers in the tail section stage an uprising, moving car-by-car up toward the front of the train, where the train's creator and absolute authority resides in splendor. But unexpected circumstances lie in wait for humanity's tenacious survivors.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Dystopian fantasy
This originated as a French graphic novel in the early ’80s, which was pirated in Korea about 2004, seen by a Korean director who loved it, and away we go (he bought the rights). All that’s left of mankind is on a train of about 100 cars that makes a circuit annually around most of Asia. Earth is frozen; all that is left alive is on the train. The bigwigs have the front, the center is devoted to creating food and water (and keeping prisoners), and the back is filled with low-lifes who want to be up front. All are just finishing their 18th year of this trip. The revolt in the back is the story.

Don't Eat Protein Jelly while watching this
This is a Sci-Fi movie directed by a Korean director based on a French Visual novel. In order to enjoy this movie, some plot holes must be ignored. This is enjoyable movie, but do not watch expecting something. Also, the movie features a protein jelly that looks like red bean jellies that are sold in most Asian super markets.

Fine Storytelling and Fat Special Features
Anything with Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Kang-ho Song, AND Ed Harris as part of the cast is worth watching. It doesn't get by on just them, though. There's a fantastic story told and a great amount of special features, too. Could've done without the critic commentary, thought.

Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story - DVD

Not Yet Reviewed

What are the facts? And what is the truth? in 1975, armed FBI agents illegally entered the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Gunfire erupted - a Native American and two FBI agents fell dead. After the largest manhunt in FBI history, three men were apprehended - only one, Leonard Peltier, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. This is his story. From the very beginning, Peltier's case has been dogged with controversy. Were the charges trumped up? Was the evidence falsified? Were witnesses pressured to change their testimony? Many people, including some of today's greatest legal minds, believe that Peltier is an innocent man. Twelve years ago, Robert Redford visited Leonard Peltier in prison. Today, after years of struggle with the FBI and the prison system, he and director Michael Apted (Gorillas in the Mist, Coal Miner's Daughter) are able to present Incident at Oglala - a riveting examination of the case and the real story of what may be one of the most outrageous abuses of justice in American history.
