Snowpiercer spoilers:
The train didn't bother me at all. I mean yeah I had all those questions too but I could tell fairly early on that it wasn't the type of a movie that you dissect scientifically. I mean once Tilda walked out with those dentures I kinda understood what it was going for and just went with it. It's kind of a goofy movie (in the good way) so if you spend too much time picking it apart you'll miss the ride (no pun intended). It's a very simple premise that's so wonky right from the start that you just have to accept it, the world has frozen over and the only survivors are in an "indestructible" train that's in perpetual motion, got it. What I found pretty cool is that the simplicity of the premise still acted like a red herring for me, I was fairly convinced that the twist would be that once they got to the front they'd find out the train wasn't gonna last much longer. Instead the train was fine (other than having to force kids do some of the labor, a plot twist I thought was kind of dumb and pointless) and it was the population that needed to be "fixed".
Oh, and adgy-san has thought a little too much on the subject for someone who has supposedly never eaten babies before. I'm on to you.
