satchmo satchmo“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. -- Samuel Beckett”
One of the hidden gems in 2013 was "Snowpiercer". It shares many similarities with the world of Half-Life 2.

The story sets in the dystopian future, when mankind became nearly extinct after a global catastrophe. A megalomaniac holds a tight grip on the fate of humanity, and a decrepit leader (Eli Vance) inspires a resistance to overthrow the oppressor.

It's a brutal film that is saturated with graphic violence, but at the same time very stylistic. Any sci-fi fan would appreciate it.

I couldn't get past the main premise of the movie, but other than that, the art direction and design were really cool :)

The train thing is kind of weird but I enjoyed it. Very stylized. Thanks for the recommendation!

Only God Forgives and Blue Ruin were two more amazing "gems".
