Review: "Source Code" PG 13
A strange train ride begins as a man seems to be moving through space and time, eight minutes from being blown up in a terrorist attack. He is transported to a strange control area where he is in a darkened room and a creepy lady and a bearded dude are sending him back into other 'realities' to stop a disaster which will lead to an even bigger one. Think '12 Monkeys' meets 'Quantum Leap' meets 'Groundhog Day' and several other 'memory is another reality, time travel' deals. But is it really time travel? It seems the hero is actually a computer program created from the mind of a copter pilot on life support. How the government created a time machine just for this person isn't known, and how it ends up is confusing. If you could stop the destruction from happening, could you? It is also similar to 'Millennium' from back in the 1990s, except that was on a plane. The source code is evidently some kind of computer memory cache. Not sure how anyone presently could create that, and could tap into the human brain and get memories out.Okay, science fictiion thriller doesn';t have to make sense. Kind of worth a DVD rental if you want to be confused and ask questions afterward, but you won't really get an answer. Not sure if the realities were really other dimensions. Seemed a bit like Lost. Ha.
