A lot of fiction, but no science

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2011)

Good science fiction takes one aspect of reality and turns it into something new, and then looks what follows from that. Bad science fiction is just fiction - it screws up everything and throws science out of the window. This movie belongs to the second type. I am a big science fiction fan, and I find it very frustrating when it doesn't deliver on the science part. ---Spoilers--- The hero can somehow get the memories of someone who died in a train wreck - OK. But then he cannot have any other memories - he cannot see anything the deceased did not see. He cannot find a bomb in the bathroom which the deceased never saw. It just doesn't make sense. I know, many people would answer: Hey, it's just a movie. Sure, but it's supposed to be a science fiction movie, when in fact it is just another stupid action flick with a love interest, spiced up with some mystery crap. Really, really disappointing.
