"Source Code"

[sergebroom]

My wife and I saw Jake Gyllenhall's "Source Code", which had received a very high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. My wife loved me. I thought it was OK. For one thing, its story had a major structural problem. For another, the premise as originally explained required not noticing the major handwaving. Still, I was willing to accept that because, frankly, SF movies seldom measure up to written SF. (One exception would be "Forbidden Planet".) But... The only way the ending worked is if you accepted that the cold-blooded scientist behind the Source Code had no understanding of how his creation really worked.

But what did your wife think about the movie? ;-)

It pushed enough of her buttons that she was willing to ignore other aspects of the story, thus leading to her enjoyment of it. Have you seen it?
