Source Code - Movie Review


The movie is about a soldier re-living the final 8 minutes of a victim's life who was killed in a train disaster. When the movie is over, what any movie fan (With some minimal brain activity) would like to go back and change, is the final 8 minutes of the movie's script. What was turning out to be a decent enough sci-fi flick, suddenly goes haywire and ends up as an annoying, forgettable experience for the audience.

Audience always except a  minimum decency from any Sci-fi movie, in the sense that it would never stay out of line with its already established rules or principles, even for the sake of a plot twist or for a fairy tale ending. When it's established that a Terminator can't have human emotions, then the movie should not end up with him getting married and fathering half a dozen cyborg kids, right? The climax of Source Code managed to achieve that kind of mind-numbing stupidity.

It is even more frustrating, considering this comes from  the man who created the highly impressive 'Moon'.
