This is one of the best films of 2011. I just love how it involves brain work. It has plenty of action and a little emotions to back it up. It might be confusing in the beginning but in the end, all is clear. It obviously outdid the matrix, and was almost at the same level as inception, but all the same this film kicked ass. It is recommendable to anybody who wants a real movie |

This title has a perfect mix of action, humour and social observation. I normally hate when people comment on the social observations made in a film but this one left me feel chipper and slightly care free, but in a good way, not the mass murdering way. The skill shown by the director and writers allow for the film to tell a hell of a story and the scene where the father is called left me wiping tears from my eyes. In my books, this is the best film to have EVER graced the screen. I know, slightly drastic but that is how I genuinely feel. |

A satisfying amalgam of different films that puts its own twist on things. Jake Gyllenhaal actually shows some surprising range and works quite well with Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga was good as well. It's not as predictable as I was expecting and quite entertaining. Sci fi fans should be happy. |

"Source Code" by Yojimbo |
|
An ex-army pilot finds himself living another man's life and discovers that he is operating within a secret government project where they send a person's consciousness back in time to discover terrorist threats. Duncan Jones' follow up to the pleasingly old school sci-fi Moon is a variation on the idea behind La Jetee, the short that inspired Twelve Monkeys. Basically it's Groundhog Day done as thriller instead of comedy as Jake Gyllenhaal lives the same eight minutes of a commuter's life over and over until he discovers the identity of the bomber who blew up the train he was travelling on. The concept will be familiar to those old enough to remember 90s tea-time sci fi show Quantum Leap and it also shares ingredients with films such as Robocop and Total Recall. To be honest, take away th... |

Had Potential, But It's Ultimately A Mess |
|
Source Code shouldn't be as bad as it is. It has a relatively interesting and unique (if slightly gimmicky premise), and has some great ideas up it's sleeve. The problem here, is that Source Code also has it's share of terrible ideas and obvious flaws that send this initially entertaining action flick into a downward spiral that progressively gets worse until the film closes.
The premise behind Source Code is that a man named Colter Stevens wakes up in the body of an unknown man, on a train. Completely confused, Colter panics until the train ultimately explodes. He awakens again in a capsule, where he is informed through a monitor that he has the ability to inhabit other people's body through a process called Source Code. Through Source Code, Colter lives the person's last 8 minut... |

source code (2011) - explanation |
|
MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD:
Ok so here's my take on the explanation:
I'll start by laying down some facts: in the first reality (the real world) colter is half dead and sean is completely dead with only his brain's surviving 8-minute-echo part alive. The scientists connected colter's brain to sean's part brain letting him this way relive the last 8 minutes of sean's life and interact with it, so he can gain knowledge of who the terrorist is. This procedure is called the source code. What the scientists don't know is that by every time they send colter in the source code it creates a new reality.
So.. colter tries time after time after time (each time in a new reality) to find who the terrorist is and he succeeds; so when he is revived from the source code back to the first reality, he... |

Wajiha, I agree with you. That would've been a more satisfying ending to me. The rest of the movie is fantastic! |

Even with all the hundreds of plotholes, I loved it. *SPOILER* It should ended like this: Goodwin gets a text message from him at the end , but they don't show anything else, just the text message, cliffhanger. not Gyllenhall living happily ever after, not the changing reality and not the explosion not happening.*SPOILER* |
