I liked Moon by Duncan Jones, and despite a crappy looking trailer for Source Code, it had a couple of decent reviews so I gave it a chance.
Turns out it was terrible. The fact they kept referring to this secret government project as 'source code' just made me cringe every time.
As if some hollywood screenwriter had just heard of coding for the first time.but the biggest clanger for me was when jake gyllenhaal was on the train going through someone's mobile phone and at the top of the screen it said "history.swf" as if it was just playing back a flash file, surely it couldn't be that badly planned?
anyone else seen this movie yet?

never!

do they use the code for anything worthwhile?
like win lottery, prevent big disasters, stop murderers?

Thought it was alright, although in some ways seemed like a repeat of Moon transported to a different setting.

it did feel a bit like moon crossed with groundhog day. him on his own a lot.
there's not really any code in the movie, it's just an idea, it's got nothing to do with code at all.
This on the other hand is pretty cool: http://www.qbn.com/topics/653519… was impressed with the attention to detail

If you watch with heavily salted popcorn and a massive extra pinch of salt then its not too bad. However the fact that it is theoretically and scientifically impossible and they patched on a happy ending to try to leave you with questions and make the viewer happy almost ruined the whole concept. Wait for DVD or for it to come on Sky Movies.

Yeah last year when I was in Bankok, this hot chick invited me back to hers and I said "are you a lady" and she said yes so I went back to hers. When she stuck her cock up my arse I was suddenly less convinced.
This was also one of those times when people should not believe what people tell them.
- "her" cock ?
"HER" cock... I can't ever get over hearing this. Blokes with tits.mikotondria3

Agree with NickInfozure.. the happy ending felt tacked on and a sort of "Duncan, fuck your role as director, early testscreenings indicate that the audience want to see the hero live happily ever after, so we're going to use the back-up ending on this one."

i was in the same boat - loved moon, gave this a shot, shouldn't have. ouch.

Quite a weak film. The romance subplot was exceptionally dull, as was the love interest come to think of it. Did the guy who did Moon make it? If so that's a considerable climb down.

Was that really a Swf file used to prop the phone? Awesomenessss!
Guess would have been too much to make that on HTML5 huhThe name of the movie should have been The ActionScript Code!
The movie was so so, the end was too long to get into a conclusion. Definitely helps to understand the concept of alternate universes a little otherwise it will hurt ur brain.

i loved Moon and i've been protesting going to see Source Code, but my husband wants to give it a try due to the 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I'm considering not telling him you've all said it was bad because he promised we could sneak some booze into the theater.

i just got back from seeing it. srsly not too bad if you go in with low expectations, you bring wine, and if you sort of have a boner for Jake Gyllenhaal AND Vera Farmiga at the SAME time.
