is there a name for the superiority complex you have when you criticise everyone in zombie movies for making stupid decisions even though you know you’d be the first to die in the same situation.
A couple of years late of this one. How can one not enjoy this film. Energetic, fun and visually impressive. Some FX are amazing and some not so... but it doesn't really matter because the film kept me engaged.
And that little girl... she can shed a tear! She's fantastic.
Watched on Netflix.
the whole movie is just an allegory of what it feels like to take public transport to school every morning
South Korea produces some of the finest cinema, period. Pick your favorite genre, and the Koreans have you covered. Some of my all time favorite movies come from SK. With Train to Busan; it's zombies on a train, and I had a Choo Choo of a fun time.
Heavy as lead, drama. Train to Busan holds nothing back when it comes to the dramatic drama department. Maybe, a tad bit overboard? I think the narrative slightly suffers due to the dramaintenseerific™. At times, I wanted my popcorn action, without the inserted crying scene.
The zombies are fresh. Meaning, they do bring something new to the table. I like their speed, fast infection rate and a certain weakness you need to…

For almost 45 minutes, Yeon Sang-ho’s “Train to Busan” is on pace to become the best, most urgent zombie movie since “28 Days Later.” And then — at once both figuratively and literally — this broad Korean blockbuster derails in slow-motion, sliding off the tracks and bursting into a hot mess of generic moments and digital fire.
But oh, those first 45 minutes: they’re genre heaven (or the undead equivalent). Equal parts “Snowpiercer” and “World War Z,” the film introduces itself as the rare pastiche with enough personality to feel like something new. A sequel of sorts to Yeon’s “Seoul Station,” which received limited festival play and never received U.S. distribution, “Train to Busan” unwraps its premise so elegantly that no prior knowledge is required to get swept along by its opening act.

(i guess mathematically this should be 2.5 stars? i dunno, whatever, it's my life)
I’d put this on a list of movies to show Maddie while living in Auckland for the summer (er, winter) and finally pushed to watch it for real tonight when Marvel announced Ma Dong-seok was gonna be in Eternals, and it’s just as fucking phenomenal as I remember. There’s a lot of moments and choices that ring as cheesy or strange but there are just as many moments and choices and balancing acts in this movie that are fucking great. I love it. A zombie movie about compassion. What a joy!
Also, there’s no way the American remake ever becomes a reality, right? My least cynical reasoning is that there are so many important performances to balance with the budget…
Absolutely incredible that one of the strategies for dealing with zombies in this movie that works best is “have a strong guy beat them up.”
Well that was fun. Some very tense moments. Probably the best executed zombie movie I've seen since Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. I will agree that it was a few minutes longer than it needed to be though.
Train to Busan is a literal thrill ride about a father and daughter doing whatever it takes to reach the city of Busan -- which is safe from the infection -- or so they hope.
This is without-a-doubt one of the best zombie movies I’ve ever watched. It presents characters with depth and provides an underlying social commentary on the world and the people in it. There are characters you will root for, and some you won’t. It has very uniquely choreographed action sequences full of intensity and dread. When you think things can’t possibly get worse -- they do. With masterful cinematography, it never feels cramped despite the characters being on a speeding train for most of the film.…
senaryo hollywood tabanlı olsada hissettirme anlamında sonuna kadar güney koreli bir film, zombi filmi olarak değerlendirilirse vasat ve klişe ama bir yolculuk filmi olarak değerlendirilirse puanı hakediyor.
Surely I can’t be the only one who thought this had no business being 2 hours right? For such a thin plot, this sure does cover a lot of unneeded ground imo. So much so that I started to lose interest after a certain point. Still this was a very fun watch. Rather well directed, with a lot of great concepts and cool visuals, even if it does generally look like a K-Drama throughout. It’s not quite the groundbreaking, exhilarating action horror flick that many make it out to be, but it’s still most definitely worth a watch
Spannend und nervenaufreibend, ecklige flotte Zombies und Figuren, mit denen man mitfiebert. Gefällt mir
