Wikipedia summary:
Quote
The movie takes place aboard the globe-spanning Snowpiercer train which holds the last remnants of humanity after a manufactured attempt to stop global warming created a new ice age. Captain America stars as Curtis Everett, a member of the lower-class tail section passengers as they lead a revolution against the elite of the front of the train.

Revolution as a result of class conflict? Guys... Steve Rogers is a fucking Commie. America is a lie.

Spoiler
Good movie though. Takes a bit to really get into gear, but when it does, it's pretty decent. The revelations in the last third of the film were pretty shocking. Also, one of the best parts of the film, for me, is that even minor tidbits of dialogue in the beginning connected to later parts of the story. Pretty good film, I'd give it a 7/10.

The film is currently on Netflix, and I'd highly recommend it.

A couple of weeks ago, I read the description about Snowpeicer on Netflix, and instead of having trains, the description made the movie sound like the revolution was about surfing. Weird right?

Haha! Regardless, I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Mind stating what you disliked? Not trying to challenge your opinion; just interested as to what others thought of the film.

I can't decide if it's a good movie or a trash one.

The reveal at the foot of the engine compartment was extraordinary.
If only the rest of the movie took itself that seriously.

Yeah now that you mention it, there were some pretty silly scenes. In the wake of the revelation you mentioned I forgot about the more questionable elements of the film. Namely, the guards gutting the trout with the hatchet. What the hell was that about?

I wouldn't call it bad. At worst "meh", but not bad.

It's a great film, but it is definitely one of the most soul-crushing films I've ever seen.

Indeed. The dialogue between the druggie and Evans near the end was extremely depressing.

Yeah, I watched with my dad and brother. The dinner we had afterwards was deathly quiet.

The fight scenes weren't especially remarkable either. and Most things inbetween were just incredibly surreal.
I don't even know where to begin with that damn ending.

The scene with the teacher and the Skorpion SMG felt like something out of Hot Fuzz.
