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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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 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.

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?

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.

What people seem to miss about this movie's originality is how it uses its setting to create its setpieces, utilizing tight corridors and specific rules for how the zombies work in that setting to create tension. For a lot of narratives, nuances like that add a lot and in this movie's case it uses it to great effect consistently making every conflict exciting. Even then I don't think the narrative beats are awful even if conventional, the ending scene with the father is damn great.

Is this the best zombie design since 'Night of the Living Dead'? Quite possibly. It's one thing to say that you will make a film about people trapped on a high-speed train with zombies, and quite another to actually make it and for it not to be just schlock. However the climax of the film (and indeed the main thrust of the film) is a bit on the nose; a father sacrifices his life to save his daughter and a pregnant woman. If it was my film, I would have killed off the two survivors at the end.

A pretty great zombie film that really understands that it's not as much about the zombies in films like this, but the characters who aren't zombies. They do a good job of making you care about these people and that makes the zombie stuff (which isn't particularly new) effective. Done-seok kicks all kinds of ass in this--great part for him. The pacing is perfect with pauses in all the right places. Great stuff.

The message feels down to earth. While those of entitled positions in society strive to make everything worse with their selfishness, humanity shines through from those in lesser positions who risk it all to help others.

There are some tense scenes and some really dumb ones involving shutting doors. The most fun is the sequence of the characters learning more and more about the zombie behavior and inventing solutions- but they later forget all of it. A zombie that falls out of a helicopter onto pavement shouldn't get up again.

A decent zombie film that does a few neat things. Not massive on gore, but the zombies are pretty cool in their movements etc. Uses the train well. Has a few good characters too. Did not like the ending much though, was both anti-climatic and unsatisfying.

Not sure I’d consider this one of the best zombie movies ever, as I’ve seen claimed, but it’s solid.

The ferocity of it all (in full daylight) is by far the best part. The fact that almost every scene drags is not.

Sub par zombie flick that is great at what it gets right but the direction here is a bit of a let down. Many of the fight scenes are illogical. (You see 50 zombies flatten 10 civilians in seconds but 3 protagonists can hold off 20 with a baseball bat) Zombies on a train is an excellent premise but the execution here just falls flat. I will say that the closing and opening scenes are quite magical.

Refreshingly creative take on the premise of a zombie movie - an idea that seems more dead than the monsters themselves. The characters show there is more to life than survival and how the greatest threat will always be something much more real and terrifying than diseases or monsters.

Best part of this film is the special effects, especially when it comes to the zombies. Some of the best I've seen. Not much takes place outside of the train ride to Busan, so the title is fairly spot on lol. Wasn't a huge fan of the father/daughter dynamic in this one. Felt cheesy at times, melodramatic at others. Also a lot of frustrating, yelling at the TV moments, say "WHAT ARE YOU DOING. LITERALLY GO" which is actually pretty detracting from the overall enjoyment of the film.

Seok-woo and his daughter Soo-An board the KTX, a high-speed train that will take them from Seoul to Busan. At the very moment of departure, the station is overrun by zombies. As the train heads towards Busan, the passengers must fight to survive.

The zombie actors do a really good job moving in creepy ways, but I think the movie is overall less scary due to the brightly-lit settings, glamorous actors, and glaringly PG-13 violence

While there's nothing new to add to the genre with this film, the writing, direction and acting were on point enough to keep me wanting to watch the entire time despite being pretty predictable.

At this point, I think its nearly impossible to make a zombie movie that isnt packed full of clichés. Still enjoyable, but predictable and done 100 times before. I will say, the little girls acting was incredible. That was absolutely some of the best child acting I've ever seen.

Except for the irritating acting of the protagonist (the fund manager-father). whose facial expression in moments of indecision isn't convincing at all but corny, the movie is full of thrill and highly recommended for horror aficionados. I'm not a fan of zombie movies because they usually portray zombies like robots or cartoon characters. But here, they move believably natural. Amazing. MY SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it

Really well put together. It was going great as a metaphor for capitalism until the worst human being on the planet also died. That never happens in capitalism. Good character development, well acted and well put together film.
