Just a fantastic film. Deserves to be seen again and again. Its a start of a new genre in cinema. Multiple directors from different parts of the world telling a single story in a unique way. A must watch for film lovers. Train Station is a surreal and unique journey of a single character who is never called by a name in the film, he is dressed in brown and that is how you know it's the same character changing as the demography of the story changes. The film is about the journey this character takes that starts from the 'train station'. This also has some very beautiful seamless transition in editing. Even though the main character changes its sex, age, country, the story still feels a single unit because of its editing.

I wanted to write a review as soon as I got home from the theater, but I thought it best to let the experience saturate a bit as I was still trying to find a way to describe the feeling I had after seeing "Train Station." I kept comparing it to the first time I heard Bob Dylan's "It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" or when I first watched "E.T." as a kid, but even those moments fall short of the profound effect this movie had on me.

I have never seen the world so connected in any art form like I saw on Tuesday at The Main Art Theater in Royal Oak, MI. It was truly beautiful. The whole concept is ground breaking and CollabFeature's ability to make it happen is awe-inspiring. I know I will be talking about both the movie and my experience of seeing it for many years. I walked away feeling inspired, amazed, and incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to attend this screening. I'm excited for others to see it and experience the innovative art of filmmaking in its purest form.

I loved every minute of it.

This is a very original and unique piece of art and entertainment. A very challenging and interesting idea, where the protagonist is played by different actors in different countries. It could easily dive into a wave of confusion to the audience but it's completely understandable, and it has a powerful and seductive storytelling. Although it's directed and produced in very different places around the world, by different teams, it still has a coherence that any good film must have, and also with the bonus of this multicultural diversity throughout the film. This is the second time Collabfeature makes a film in these terms. But the first the plot was led by a backpack that would o from hand to hand "by chance", and would take us to micro worlds, or situations, of characters that not always were intertwined. So although very interesting and funny, it was still, a backpack. Here having a protagonist, very characterized, 3 dimensional with all his different aspects of personality, we are more easily driven to the world of the character and the needs of the character. And like in any good classic storytelling, although he jumps into an adventure with many obstacles, we never forget the premise "there is a train he needs to catch, will he catch it?" Probably the beginning of a new era of filmmaking.

Watching the trailer, I know this is not going to be an artsy or high value movie but out of curiosity, I still watch it. I wonder what's the idea of those "choices" and even if the movie is bad, I hope I can still see 25 cities or train stations. It turn out NONE ! There are no major surprise in the plots or the "choices", nothing that ties up all the choices, some acting are horrible, especially the young Asian Chinese pair, hardly any outdoor scenes where I can see the cities, no train station scenes other than some close up ticketing counters. I give it a 5 just for its "idea" although there is nothing interesting or intelligent about it.
