Source Code

[Wonder Pigeon]

The new film by Duncan Jones is coming out soon.



Thoughts? The premise seems quite goofy but apparantly it's been getting really good reviews so far, and Moon gives Jones a hefty slice of benefit of the doubt. I'll probably go see it.

 

[The Flying Potato]

I think it looks really good, a definate watch for me.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Getting great reviews, will go see.

 

[Bear Attack]

So basically Groundhog Day.

 

[BAMSOLA]

looks a bit more like Deja Vu the Denzil Washington film a couple of years ago. Hopefully not as shit though.

 

[olesmyhero]

Really looking forward to seeing this one. I was a big fan of Moon. Don't let us down Duncan Jones.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

So basically Groundhog Day.

Yeah, I remember the scene where Bill Murray had to stop the groundhog from blowing up a train. Nailbiting stuff.

 

[Zen]

Yep, looks awesome. Moon was a fabulous film so I have faith in Duncan. Great reviews to go along with that make me even more hyped.

 

[afrocentricity]

Great flick...

 

[The_Red_Hope]

Need to watch this. Duncan Jones seems to be carving out a good rep for himself. Moon was great and this looks promising.

 

[The Flying Potato]

Saw this today, it was alright, my high expectations probably effected my view on it though.

It's more a wait for it to be on Sky Movies film for me.

Yeah I was the same, watched it last night and was actually pretty disappointed with it considering some of the hype.

Decent movie but nothing more.

A couple, wasn't it like 1994

Though exactly the same - enjoyed it but wasn't great. Thought the same about Moon but most of my friends disagree and think it's amazing.

No 2006 Tony Scott movie.

You're not thinking of Fallen are you?

 

[Member 39557]

Saw it today, could have been so much better. It was quite enjoyable, but I expected more.

 

[UnitedBoy]

watched an hour, boring as feck and fell asleep

 

[buckooo1978]

watched it

very disappointed after reading 1 or 2 reviews on here

interesting idea but poor movie - a bit stupid at the end i felt

The whole concept of Source Code is essentially Groundhog Day. And a film like this, like Inception, rides on the ability to intrigue the audience with the concept. When that is made redundant, all is left is, from the looks of it, a poor thriller with plenty of plot holes.

shit idea...

Err, have you even seen the film? It's feck all like Groundhog Day. I wouldnt say it has any noticeable plot holes either and it's not a poor film, like weve all said its decent enough but we expected more.

 

[noodlehair]

The problem I had is it's not an interesting idea. It's a potentially interesting idea, put into an entirely uninteresting scenario, and removed from the path of originality by the inclusion of "I must save the girl" syndrome.

In other words, I think it looks shit.

It does have at least 1 plot hole for me.

Spoiler

Since it's about the multiverse theory, he essentially has killed the original Sean and is living the life of Sean without knowing anything of his previous life. He couldn't do the guys job, he wouldn't know his family...

I actually haven't but my friends that have seen it tell me there are plenty of plot holes in the film. I suppose I was being a tad presumptuous but is the concept not the same? The idea of being stuck in a certain time frame to accomplish something before being released?

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

I saw it today and I liked it. It isn't as good as Moon but it's entertaining. Give it a shot.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Mark Kermode loved it.

Mind you, I've lost a bit of faith in him over the whole Inception thing.

I would have love to have gone to the premiere and punch that twat Jake Gyllenthal right in the face
