Snowpiercer
As TNT’sSnowpierceris an adaptation of the 2013 film of the same name — which is thebest Chris Evans movieaccording to Metacritic — there are a fortune of parallels between the show and loads of other movies by design . Whether or not the show went off the rails in its final few episode , there ’s no deny that the conception behind the titular Snowpiercer , a never - stopping train that hold what ’s left of civilization , is marvelously unique .
The show is aBattle Royale - corresponding thriller and doubles as a commentary on social issues such as classism and overpopulation . And as those issues more often than not lead to dystopian time to come ( if every movie ever is to be conceive , ) the boob tube show divvy up its DNA with several uniquely mortifying movies .
Children Of Men
Under similar luck to the denizen of the Snowpiercer , the dystopian world inChildren of Menfeatures one of the most interesting and original payoff on the self - destruction of mankind .
refinement is on the brink of extinction as children are no longer being yield . Under strict duress , Clive Owen top a grouping of exemption fighters to come up a refugee who turns out to be meaning . It ’s one of the most thrilling sci - fi pic of the past 20 years .
The Platform
In the first half of 2020,The Platformwas all anybody could lecture about , as it hasa pretty nonsensical plot — but it ’s eerily redolent toSnowpiercerdue to its anti - capitalistic themes and using the most genuine metaphor potential .
InSnowpiercer , with each motorcar closer to the nose of the train , the citizens live much better lives than those closer to the bum end . And inThe Platform , the closer to the top of the 200 storey skyscraper prison house the inmates are , the good they are front after and the more they are eat , which results in riots and mass bloodbath .
The Raid
If TV audience watchingSnowpiercerthink , “ this is all right , but it ’d be smashing if there was a whole moving-picture show about a cluster of ax and tongue wielding stuntmen fighting their manner through a bunch of rooms one at a metre , and totally leaving the social and political subject at the door , ” thenThe Raidis the perfect movie .
The Raidfollows a S.W.A.T. team who storm a building belong to a ruthless mob . They take over each trading floor one by one , with unlike challenges and unlike weapons on each floor . It ’s extremist - violent with somewild fight scenes , and it make any vista inSnowpiercerlook likeRugrats .
The Hunger Games
ThoughSnowpierceris certainly not for children , The Hunger Gamesnot only has conversant but toned down fight aspect , but they share massively similar musical theme about societal year . Its message might have gotten blurred , puddle , and diluted in the later film as the series began to favour love triangle over think molest storytelling , but there ’s a understanding why the originalHunger Gamesis thehighest snitch teenage dystopian filmaccording to IMDB .
Elysium
By contrast , Elysiumis much more sci - fi based , it takes spot in the not too distant dystopian future , and it is swamp with with political and social allegory .
Mad Max: Fury Road
Fury Roadis the fourth installment of theMad Maxdystopian franchise and likeSnowpiercer , it is riveting and action packed from the open title to the end credits . It again combat with the idea of over population , and as is the status quo , those in top executive desire to keep those below them in balk . BothFury RoadandSnowpiercerfeature the malefic figurehead using slaves and both have a not so charismatic leader to head a revolution .
Battle Royale
For viewing audience with a taste for torture - based motion-picture show that teach audiences a lesson , Battle Royaletruly was the first of its variety . Loosely based onLord of the Flies , Battle Royaledumps a crowd of high schooltime kids on an island , give each of them one purportedly random weapon — which could rate from a machine hitman to a garbage can lid — and pits them against each other until there ’s only one kid left standing . The movie has crazydevelopment stories , but almost every film on this list usesBattle Royaleas a mention point .
Parasite
The Academy Award winning movie , which is one of thebest thrillers of the decade , features so many association with theSnowpiercer . Not only isParasitea comment on the social class system in which the protagonists will do anything to have the life sentence of the elite group that they ’ve pass their aliveness service , but the connections hightail it much deeper .
There is a direct connection betweenSnowpiercerandParasitein that the motion picture ’s director also directed the flick adaptation ofSnowpiercer . And the TV show would n’t have gotten unripe lit if it was n’t for the movie ’s achiever .
Dredd
ThoughDreddis full of similarities toSnowpiercer , it is also completely opposite to the show in many ways . Dreddgo from elbow room to board hacking through foe like it ’s a TV game , but the protagonist is n’t quite the low-down class ratter leading an uprising .
Instead , the titulary character is a depraved fuzz and is the judge , panel , and executioner of anyone who stands in his way . The moving-picture show is n’t one iota like Stallone ’s version of the persona from the ' 90 , as this one is beloved by fans and they ’ve been hollo for a subsequence for eight years now .
There ’s no movie more likeSnowpiercerthe TV series thanSnowpiercerthe movie . Directed by Boon Jung Ho , the picture was a moderate success at the box office , but receive much more attending when the music director win an Academy Award forParasiteand led people to check out some of his old oeuvre .
The show is essentially very to the moving-picture show , only it ’s six hours longer and pad out with some unneeded romances . Snowpiercerthe movie is very close to being a masterpiece , with actors all turning in their best performances to date , including Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton .
