Everything from the design of the train to the A-list cast of actors to the storyline that keeps up the relentless pace, but still has time to reflect on the motives, histories and moods of the characters. It's the execution of an idea that makes or breaks a film and here that execution is nigh flawless. These are both just variations of Orwell's 1984, which draws heavily from the age old tale of the underdog, David versus Goliath. But, when that riding ends up producing a film of this quality, is it a bad thing? And it's not like The Hunger Games invented the idea of alternative future where the poor are trying to usurp the rich people that are controlling them from their towers of ivory. And don't get me wrong, it is another "social commentary" dystopian film, and yes, perhaps it's riding The Hunger Games craze just a little bit.
A smooth roller coaster of action and quiet, dark dialogue. Instead what I ended up getting was one of the best post-apocalyptic films I've ever seen. I thought it would be just another "social commentary" dystopian film trying to ride the coattails of The Hunger Games craze.
