IGN: British filmmaker Duncan Jones, who burst onto the scene in 2009 with his cerebral sci-fi drama Moon, directs the new sci-fi thriller Source Code. (Cue the obligatory spoiler warning.) Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot who was on a combat mission in Afghanistan when he inexplicably wakes up in the body of another man.

This time around DrDogbert takes a look at the 2011 movie Source Code to see if it really is as good as they say it is?
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) finds himself on an unusual mission when he is tasked with identifying the terrorist responsible for bombing a passenger train. Using new technology known as the Source Code, Colter can be transported into the body of one of the train’s passengers 8 minutes before the train explodes. With time ticking, Colter must eliminate the potential suspects and find the bomber before another attack can take place.
This review is for sure negative. personally i thought they could have ended the movie in a certain and i would have gotten up and clapped, it is for sure one of the better movies out this year so far that deals with the mind and levels of reality. and the rules that are laid out are not set in stone of one person tells you them, they are questioned and then answered.
Jake Gyllenhaal time traveling and changing future outcomes,where have I seen this before? lol.
I can see the rehashed story behind this, its pretty straight forward. Didnt Mark Whalberg just do one?
However it is IGN and they seem to not like anything they didn't get paid to like or allows them to nerd orgasm over. The other reviews popping up here have all been moderate to positive.
Just remember Sucker Punch got the same review from IGN....
IGN isn't even in the back of my head when I think about movie reviews...
I'm a bit surprised that this movie is getting positive reviews though. Even though Moon was a very good movie, this one is only his second and the trailer made the movie look kinda crap.
More power to smart newcomer directors.
Wow, I was kind of excited to see this movie. The trailer made it seem like a cool thriller.
