Enjoyable sci-fi, it felt more like a play

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2011)

The idea for the movie was really nice. I liked it a lot. The acting and technical values of the film were good as well. The two issues I have with Source Code are that they repeat the same scene a few times (couldn't be helped, given the plot, but still a bit annoying) and with the really weird reactions of everybody involved. The idea was good, the script was a little worse than the idea, but still good, but the dialogues were really unnatural. Given a better screenwriter, this could have been brilliant.
That being said, I really liked the movie and do not regret choosing to see it. It may be one of the few films that are worth watching in a cinema, as the constraints of the theatre chair are forcing one to get into the feel of it. Also, since the entire action happens in a train, in a capsule and a military facility, and since the characters are few and really define the plot, it feels more like a play than a movie.
