Ignore What the Critics Say, You Should Watch These Underrated Movies

Snowpiercer (2013)

Snowpiercer is weird. It was arguably the most politically critical American movie of 2013, even though it’s a Korean sci-fi film adapted from an obscure graphic novel written by a French man. In this film, the year is 2014, and an experiment intended to combat global warming plunged the Earth into an Ice Age. All of the humans that are still alive live on a fast-moving train that runs on a  global track. If the train stops, all of the inhabitants on it die. This film is political due to its microcosmic class system that is instilled on the train, which is similar to the class system that exists on Earth at the moment. Although Snowpiercer is an overtly political film demonstrating a power-swing from the lower to the elite class, it’s still got all of the exciting principles of a top tier action movie. Think The Matrix, but make it steampunk, and take away the cyber-noir aesthetic.
