        The thing is that Snowpiercer was intelligent, funny, entertaining, and entirely coherent. High-Rise was none of those things. Well actually not entirely true. High-Rise was entertaining. Just not intelligent, funny or coherent.

          Just came to say that. Granted I didnt think much of SP, but thought even less of this. Acting was good, but didnt like a single character and overall was way too disjointed to enjoy.

            Yes, exactly what I thought but Snowpiercer is decidedly more compelling and interesting.

              Snowpiercer is decidedly more compelling and interesting.
              Although I thought Snowpiercer got rather silly in the second half, I enjoyed it a lot more than High-Rise. The characters were more interesting and the plot was easier to follow. The characters here all seemed to blend together, especially the 'upper-class' ones. The only ones who stood out for me were Luke Evans and Jeremy Irons.
              And all the pieces matter (The Wire)

                I had the same thought and found Snowpiercer to be a far superior film. In a weird way, I think the implausible post-apocalyptic setting of Snowpiercer actually worked in that film's favor. Because the premise was so ludicrous on its face, I was able to suspend disbelief from the start and give myself over completely to the allegory.

                  We were saying this as well. Snowpiercer, Lord of the Flies and The Exterminating Angel tossed in together.

                    Very true. The uprising didn't start with "Snowpiercer," and it won't end there.

                      Snowpiercer was much better. At least it was entertaining and much more bizarre. High Rise has good cinematography though and more titties, so theres that.
