Yea, why would a train with the last surviving humans on earth have security.

Security makes sense....but why act like bullets are extinct? What does that gain you? And why wouldn't you keep those bullets in the car before the water supply instead a bunch of ax-wielding S&M freaks? And why is the rave/drug car the one RIGHT NEXT TO THE GODDAMN ENGINE?

If you're in charge, friend keeping your ammunition before your resources isnt wise.. Keep them behind your resources so you can have somewhere to retreat to regroup so you can retake what you lost. Just because they take the water car doesnt meant they can keep the water car but if they lose the bullets and the water car, they've lost the train and its over pa.

Just saw this tonight.
I mean, I liked it? I think I liked it. It's one of those films where you can't get too bogged down in the logical inconsistencies.
Though I will say that I was expecting more. Technically it was superb, the production design was top notch, and there were several very memorable scenes e.g. the fight in the steam room with the yellow color, the fight in the dark with the torches, and the journey through the latter parts of the train and going from car to car I thought was brilliant to watch.
Thematically though I thought it was a bit heavy-handed. It's an interesting allegory and it sucks you right in, but towards the end became slightly preachy. And to add to that, the characterization was also surprisingly thin. I expected more out of Chris Evans's character, and once we came to his big moment at the end it just wasn't very convincing, and is probably one of the most unintentional funny line readings I've heard at the movies this year ("I hate myself, because I know what humans taste like. I hate myself even more because I know babies taste the best!
)
I feel like my theater was collectively like
then 
some dude in the back bust out laughing and I couldn't really blame him.
And that's another thing about this film that I wasn't really quite sure how to take, and that was that tonally the film was unwieldy. The majority of the film is a bleak allegory about the ravages of capitalism and the inherent need in man for power, control, dominance and greed and how those qualities can be aggravated within a hyper-capitalist society like the train, but then that is coupled with slapstick comedy when he slips on the fish and dark comedy and just straight up comedy from Tilda Swinton. For me at least, the bits of comedy were welcome but it slightly undermined the message for me.
And because of all that the final 20 minutes or so of the film was a bit
the ending didn't really hit me like it should have given the build up, even despite its hopeful ambiguity.

Just saw this.. Epic!! 
I'm not sure how to feel about this myself but I watched it last night and this morning I'm still not sure on how I feel. I think it would have been better if they actually showed all of the grimey shyt Chris Evans character went through. The message was heavy handed as hell and I got it the first time but it seemed like they just kept hitting you over the head with it to the point I was getting impatient. I'm leaning on not liking it too much bc so much shyt just didn't make sense and bothered me. I'll probably never watch this again.
Its already a two hour movie.. all that sh*t Evans talked about would push it into the 2 1/2- 3 hour mark. And if you watched it twice in less than a 24 hour period you definitely liked alot of things this film presented.
-can't front there were some silly parts with some of the things in some of the boxcars but I hadn't felt this good about a Sci Fi flick since the first Matrix dropped. Not saying its on par with The Matrix
but it knew what it wanted to do and where to go and it delivered. The fight scenes, the train effects, scenery, the pacing, even most of the acting was amazing. Maybe I'm burnt out on the Marvel- summer blockbuster- CGI heavy bullsh*t. but this one felt truly original
Metaphor for white supremacy though.Just saw this tonight.

And uh, yeah that.
The response to this movie has been pretty surprising. I thought it was at best, people seem to really like it though. I figured it would come and go, instead it made a decent amount of money and is critically acclaimed.

and? Thats the whole movie. And i cant even say its really capitalism because it seemed more like socialism.
