Pretentious mega crap

Snowpiercer the movie with Capt America was pretty interesting for the plot but everything else about the movie screamed and was crap imo. It was such a pathetic movie that I thought that would be the end of it.

Thanks for WW84, I signed up for HBO Max and while GoT and other shows seem decent enough, the Snowpiercer name caught my eye.

I watched episodes 1 and 2 and I was stupified how still utterly stupid and ridiculous the whole thing is. From a ridiculous plot to the ridiculous contraption to the ridiculous characters to everything else ridiculous I was amazed how someone managed to even produce this.

Here's some small sampling of what is garbage about this show -

* So there's an Extinction level event and somehow billionaires have come together to fund a train containing a 1000+ cars to house them and I guess some servants? along with a private army? so they can pretend nothing is happening and live their lives? I mean, if these billionaires would be any more cartoony the words like bam! and kapow! would start flying at the screen.

* So billionaires exist because there's a concept of money. With the whole world at -140C or -140F (forget which one, likely the C) and gone and just these maybe 1000 rich billionaire family, what is their game plan? What's the situation on when the earth will warm back up? And with living in the train with NO concept of money, these guys are basically just nothings really. What's to stop the army folks from just taking over, especially if their families were decimated for these guys?

* And how come the original soldiers just shot at people trying to enter the train when they knew they were gonna die in like a day exposed to the cold while the train moved along?

* Also why build just one train? And why make it go around the world in such a huge loop? So much track maintenance not to mention the ups and downs of terrains. Isn't it more logical to create a nice circular loop on fertile plain land with gradual curve so track can be easily maintained and there's not much to worry about weather or terrain changes? And how would they even fix a broken track? The train passes over it like maybe once in a month or maybe 6months. Lot of snow could cover it or perhaps it would crack and break or something else. How can it even be fixed if they can't go outside the train?

* speaking of which, why is the train car so small? I mean, why not build a wide enough train track to hold a house sized spaced car? They're funded by billionaires so this could've easily happened. Why all the cramped crap? They could've build multiple decks and really wide cars like size of 5 trains side by side especially if they had all that space of Earth to themselves. And why even have a moving train? Maybe the motion produces electricity and heat somehow and filters warm air in but why is it moving at like 100mph? what's the hurry? why not move at say 20mph.

* Then the whole engine run by like 2-3 guys with Waldock or walford or whatever being a scam. Lol. And no one has seen Mr. Walford for 7 years and yet every one happily accepts their interaction with Jennifer Connely? lol wut?

* And Jennifer Connelly goes from the engine to the tail car where a bloodbath is taking place - a length of like 1000 cars. Lol. what? Assuming it takes her 30s to 60s to cross one car at the speed she is going, that is like 60,000 seconds or 1000mins or 16 hours! to get to the end of the train and 16 hrs to get back to the engine. WTF. The writers have like 0 brains. And she has to cross EVERY single car and section of the train life including walking through every billionaire's car

* The whole food, temp, boredom, what not situation is not yet explained but I'm sure they'll have some crap. Haven't seen doctors, medics, pharmacy, hospital area yet but there's a prison/holding area, some futuristic cryosleep area, sanitation (lol, why? just poop and dump outside track). There's a swimming pool somehow where sealife roams? lol, what? and a sauna and a greenhouse where they grow food. Plus some kids go by learning from a teacher. lol.

* And apparently all this is about 7 years after this happened.

* The writing, directing, acting, story, plot are all garbage. Total ridiculous garbage. Just a total waste of everything from everything. The lead detective actor has the most comedic of voices to be a homicide detective. I mean, pathetic casting. Steve Trevor had me intrigued but they cryo'd him in like 5min. hahaha.

Such a rubbish waste of a show. My rating: 1/10
