Snakes on a plane, zombies on a train; we're not quite there yet, folks, but we're slowly building up to the velociraptors on a cruise ship movie.

Straightforward zombie fare without anything new or refreshing to add, but definitely achieving what it sets out to do. Good looking (and creepily moving) zombies, a few tense scenes, predictable character beats and some sappy but earned drama at the end. As a fan of the genre, I'm not complainin'.

Though nail-bitingly tense at times, Train to Busan in the end amounts to a disappointingly generic zombie movie. The stock characters' endless string of inconsistently illogical decisions often makes it difficult to sympathise with those who perish, and the overwrought melodrama at the film's centre diminishes the impact of the impressive action sequences.

A daytime zombie opera in which every door is made of glass so you can never escape the sheer absurdity of the undead. There's no hide-the-monster here, you can just see the fuckers flailing around in the background whenever the characters start talking - which is every time they lock a glass door behind them, to say some shit that didn't need saying. So as the trope goes you begin to wonder if they're not being more ridiculous because at least the zombies stay focused and work together.

A bunch of people trapped on a train during a zombie outbreak try to survive. It doesn't do anything most zombie movies don't do, but it's well acted and has good effects. The trainbound setting is somewhat novel, and the pace is relentless enough to keep your interest throughout. The film lays on the melodrama pretty thick in a couple of places, though, and the dark ending I was expecting would've been much better than what actually happens. Probably would've bumped my score by 10 points.

Hits every trope in the book. You've got your unlikely hero trying to win over his daughter and save her at the same time, only looking out for survival. You've got the guy who sacrifices himself to save the others. A guy who's overly paranoid about people being infected, to the point that he's a villian. The one who's unwilling to accept that his loved one is turning zombie so he ends up getting dead. They're all there, but the fact remains "Train to Busan" isn't original, but it is competent.

Successful as a character redemption of the main man, perfunctory as a horror-action flick, and soppy as a study of sacrifice for loved ones. Why do these people react so damn slowly? Why are they so stupid? You almost feel like they deserve to get eaten for being retarded. Typical frustration tropes. The best moments celebrate chivalry and masculine sacrifice - the rest feels like Shawn of the Dead without a sense of humor.

This has got to be one of if not the all around best Zombie movies ever made. There were a few scary moments and plenty of Suspenseful scene but the biggest surprise was how well they did the set up and how much I like the characters even a lot of the smaller roles. Once again a Korean "horror" film show that you can have a good story, great acting and multi dimensional characters and still be an adrenaline charged fright fest. This movie has some melodrama but it also has heart which is a great

Zombie films are always best when in a confined space, like a shopping mall, quarantined apartment building or medical supply warehouse. Films using fast zombies are great when they work (Return of the Living Dead / Dawn remake) and awful when they don't (World War Z) The director does a great job of keeping the tension high throughout the film and has enough balls to make some hard choices regarding likable characters. Good zombie film in a tired genre.

An ideal zombie movie. It has great/likable characters, tension, action, lots of blood, and perfect pacing. Once the carnage started, it pretty much never let up save for some moments to build characters. It’s just an insanely entertaining movie that gave me both fear and tears. Well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet, zombie fan or not. Without a doubt one of the best ones I’ve seen in several years, maybe of all time.

Obviously convoluted and highly sentimental, but some parts of it are truly great -- the three men crossing wagons beating zombies, the dramatic battle between human groups (one is trying to reach the final wagon, the other fears they are infected), the personal struggle between self-protection and compassion. The sometimes uneven balance of gore and family drama manages to work well among tons of genre clichès. This is World War Z done right, but it's still no Snowpiercer.

It's hard to make something overly compelling and memorable in a genre that's been done to death like zombies. While Train to Busan isn't some revelatory masterpiece, it's a solid action horror movie that has mostly likable characters, great pacing, and feels like a breath of fresh air mostly because people are stuck on a train with zombies. It's a bit too long and a few portions feel contrived to move sections along but it's a good time.

Yes, another zombie movie BUT & it is meant to be a big "but"-done well - NB is a serious zombie flic not a wacky, funny one. The zombies are remorseless & like a human tidal wave. The necessary claustrophobic locale is justifiable. There are people under pressure with betrayals & character changes forced by the situational pressure. A few soppy bits but they don't undermine the overall quality. Good suspense. If you like the genre-a must see, for others - give it a try, it's quite entertaining.

Snowpiercer-comparisons abound, but I'm reminded of nothing so much as The Host; another horror movie with a genre-typical narrative uncharacteristically set in perpetual daytime with the melodrama dialed up to 11. That last point accounts for the polarized reception; I see a lot of people criticizing this as "sappy" and they're not wrong. For my part SK cinema has always had the ability to sell me on unabashed melodrama and this movie is no exception; the deaths here hit me HARD.

There've been so many great zombie films/shows in the past 10 years it's hard to imagine any1 making a compelling zombie movie anymore. Well, the Koreans pull it off. With some great performances (esp the little girl), masterful direction & zombies that tackle, the filmmakers make a surprisingly moving entry into the zombie canon with the only things keeping it from becoming a classic are the director's occasional heavy-handed sentimentality & the deluge of quality zombie tales that preceded it

Nothing new here, apart from some important lessons about caring, of course: I guess it's an attack on Ripley and her whole "just me and the cat and screw everyone else" generation, right? Yet another entry in the "no sin is greater than a father missing her daughter's performance, and it merits a punishment no less than death" genre (in this case, discussed earnestly and at length immediately after battling four hundred and eighty zombies). George Romero has a lot to answer for really.

Spoilers. When they're on the train the ferocity, speed, and rapid turn rate of bite victims combined with the tight quarters and how the space is used make for a tense exhilarating zombie action film. As each stop is found to be overwhelmed by undead a sense of futility rises...and also a sense that the films climax will be a dud. Which it is in a way. It goes on about 20 mins too long. The main character finishes out his cliche arc, his fate already obv.

I enjoyed its lack of will to build tension slowly. The film is essentially a road movie and it plows from action/horror scene to action scene at a breakneck pace. That being said, the plot feels paper-thin in comparison, throwing boring family drama at us with a barren framework of basic detail to hold it up. In reality, it's more effective for its chilling zombie scenes than its character building by far, making it pleasing but forgettable.

Very well done. Obviously this genre is quite saturated and clichés are almost inevitable, but in this one they're extremely well managed. The jerky sped-up scenes are mostly ok, but they do get annoying once or twice. The acting is class A and the ending is almost a genuine tear-jerker (in the good sense of the word).

Has a great story but can' do justice to it. Inserts a cliche family drama in the mids of a too overt plot of oppostion between altruism and xenophobia. It seems to challange social ostracizations and any societal division between people but reproduces the "death hierarchy" of Hollywood thrillers/slashers where poor, ethnic minorities, women and ugly people die first. All that moral lesson serves to the rescue of our lovely middle-class family ideal. + unconvincing zombies! Don't like it.

Quite a surprise. This has to be one of the better zombie movies out there. I really liked the behaviour and the look of the zombies in this movie. It featured a cast of characters which were quite one-dimensional, however the characters felt more strange here, because they were not totally westernized. The acting was quite good; I actually felt moved during a zombie movie. Story was ok. Some of the deaths however were quite unsatisfying. Worth a watch!

An absolutely exemplary piece of zombie media, in my opinion. Fast zombies done right. This movie is legitimately scary/suspenseful, and even if some of the characters were just a little cliche, I cared for them anyway. My only disappointment is that one frustratingly cowardous and stupid character caused the majority of the deaths before his own. God that made me angry, but hey, it made me feel (and was depressingly realistic), and that's something.

We need to have a discussion on how long it takes to actually turn into a zombie. Is it instantaneous? Or is it just long enough so that someone can utter their final words to a loved one? Finally, a zombie film that is not scared to ask who the true villain is -- zombie or...man?

while the only way I could invest myself into a movie like this was through subtitles, I really enjoyed it. Train to Busan is another zombie survival horror movie, but it does a few things well that most don't. From characters who I found myself rooting for, well done effects, and a pace that moves steadily along. Busan captures everything it needs to, even for people who can't understand the characters, you can still feel their emotions through subtitles and it's quite entertaining movie.

Train to Busan gets almost full marks for execution. The zombies are especially great. They're scary on their own and terrifying in numbers. The movie itself, however, devolves into cliched Hollywoodisms before I got a chance to get involved in the drama. On top of that, I dislike the main character, and the fact that this movie plays so smoothly as a workaholic father's wet dream. He's being a dick to his daughter and we're supposed to forgive him because he's thrown into a zombie apocalypse?

The zombie movie made me cry. It made me tense because I didnt want any of the main characters to die. It pumped me up with the sick running zombie scenes. This zombie movie is amazing. Train to Busan is able to keep it's gimmick fresh over 2 hours, by smartly and slowly expanding the rules of its zombies. This movie does suffer from dumb character actions, but I was so bought into them as people, I think I cared more than usual for them to act smart. The child actor is also very talented.

The entire zombie genre is getting a little old, to me, but Train to Busan is a solid new entry. The movie hits all the right zombie tropes while managing to stay fresh and solid at the same time. The change of setting was interesting. I've seen a handful of Korean zombie films at this point, and this is the best of the batch. Movie takes a while, though, to find its tone, and I'm not sure if that's a lost in translation thing, or what. With the kid, it seemed almost comedic for a while.

The bad: Special effects were weak, story was barebones, it was pretty long, and it wasn't necessarily original. With all that being said, I still very much enjoyed this film. Usually in these zombie films, all the characters are insufferable. That isn't the case here. I enjoyed pretty much the entire cast, and they all played their roles well. Things fall apart very nicely in the last 20 or so minutes.

All the best zombie movies... OK, most of the best zombie movies are about what the non-zombie characters do to each other in their panic. "Train To Busan" picks up on the current global wave of fear, paranoia and everymanforhimself and turns it into a thrilling nailbiter of an action movie, complete with a pseudo-Trump businessman calling everyone else infected, as if blind stupid fear wasn't a worse virus.

Compared to american culture, korean movie culture is less crude and vulgar, but paradoxically usually more violent and graphic. As much as I dislike most zombie movies, this one was enjoyable, due to the way it fits just right with the way koreans do their movies. It's character driven in a good way, but sadly the main character is uninteresting and the main villain is way too exaggerated to be believable. Fun popcorn movie. Would be better if it didn't stick so much to zombie movie tropes.

Excellent zombie film might not go anywhere particularly new or fresh plot-wise (and a more nihilistic ending would have been a better capper), but is still distinguished by the uniquely claustrophobic setting, fast-paced direction and quite moving performances, especially stoic young Kim, and Ma as the apparently self-seeking, but ultimately noble fellow warrior. The elder Kim is also effective as a slime-ball snivelling villain.

Yes, it's a zombie film at its core, but it ticks all the boxes of what usually makes a Korean film great. It is melodramatic, but it works because it does the right groundwork.

An action movie as slick as anything coming out of South Korea these days... but also kind of dull and meaningless. People turn into face-eating zombies for no explicable reason, and the rest of the movie is a battle for survival which writes itself. Therein lies the problem. The main character is a selfish dick who only really changes his ways at the 11th hour. There are lots of crowd action scenes which are impressively filmed but repetitive and never add anything fresh or new to the concept.

A train may actually be the best setting for a zombie apocalypse, and the initial breakout is intense. Besides that there's nothing new here, and it falls apart into blatantly manipulative irony, terribly written characters, and the same old social criticisms. Would be much more effective if it focused on the slow disassembly of routine as the infection spread - hell, all zombie movies would be better if they did that. I've never much been a fan of what they are as is.

My eyes were rolling harder than this train. It has its great moments when it doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't get near drama, some kind of message or moving its plot forward (clichefest). Except the ending, which was great, disturbing and this one time emotional in the right, non-soap way. Aloha!

A well-structured but conventional zombie movie that gets extra mileage out of a thin premise by smartly utilizing the "group of strangers overcome an awful situation" trope. The characters are endearing for the genre and there's some interesting discussion of selfishness and class, but the camp is uneven and the story is rather flat. Entertaining, but only slightly above average.

Touching, well-made and occasionally badass mix of drama, horror and action movie tropes.

Well done, enjoyable, although fairly predictable, 28 Days Later-style zombie-apocalypse movie. Elevated by the little girl actress who had me quite choked up by the end!

Powerful, emotional and intense. This is one zombie train you do not want to miss.

Effectively a Korean take on World War Z crossed with Snowpiercer. There are a couple of plot holes here, one so big you could drive a zombie filled train through it, but overall this is still an entertaining entry into the zombie-verse.

All the usual dumb routines, none the better for having to be shoehorned into a train. Was painfully aware for the whole 2 hours that I was watching a bunch of actors running around in front of a camera.

Sometimes a little too liberal with the plot armor it gives to some characters and inconsistent toward the end with how quickly infections spread and how much cognizance you have once you're bitten, but overall it really is a tense, well-paced zombie movie. Give it up for all those extras cause holy crap they gave it their all!
