Good movie despite horrible pre-text
This movie was entertaining, even though the "setup" didn't make sense. Picture it: Global warming freezes the planet, and everyone (worldwide) dies except the inhabitants that boarded this train. The train is totally one-of-a-kind, with a "perpetual motion" engine that needs no fuel, and it has been circumnavigating the globe for 17-years at top-speed (but only making one loop around the planet per year).
...Let's think about this! At top speed, it should only take 8-10 days to race around the planet, considering that the train doesn't stop. And by the way, why would you feel the need to have humanities remaining souls in such a ridiculous situation. If you've got an engine that needs no fuel, just light it off, generate some heat & energy and stay where you are!
Aside from these 2 fatal flaws, the story was "pretty good" ...that means NOT amazing nor incredible, but descent. The characters were not really engaging enough to want to cry if they died, but any background human experience means you can associate with what they were going through, and subsequently why the plot happened.
Climax of the film was again "pretty good" ...I expected to see something different as people from the rear of the train made their way toward the front, and found the locomotive (lead car) to be visually disappointing, but the dialogue revealed in the final scene made it all okay.
