The 2020 video series Snowpiercer is of the steampunk genre like the original 2013 movie. So, there is that retrofuturism that seems to be widely appealing - but, the series and the movie have different plots.

The 2020 video series Snowpiercer is of the steampunk genre like the original 2013 movie. So, there is that retrofuturism that seems to be widely appealing - but, the series and the movie have different plots.

I am writing about episode 1 of season 1.


I found it interesting that animation was used as an introduction to the series. I think we are seeing animation used more frequently to keep projects on budget.

There was some very good acting. I can't list them all - but, I especially enjoyed:
Jennifer Connelly as the "Voice of the Train"
Mickney Sumner a brakeman (later a hostage)
Alison Wright another brakeman
Iddo Goldberg a train engineer?

The train is obviously a metaphor and (to me) an interesting plot device.

The technical aspects of the series are of very good quality. Perhaps the editing was somewhat too fast paced - but, I can understand how there was a lot to cover in the first episode.

I will be watching the second episode.
I anticipate that this will be enjoyable entertainment if you like to think about things.
