Saw High-Rise last night and kept thinking how similar it is to Snowpiercer

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.

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.
