[hunnipot85]

I wanna see this one, hopefully i'll go sometime soon.

 

[Matt S]

Saw this one today and really enjoyed it

 

[DinoLast]

Saw it today, easily the best film I have seen this year, and I saw Limitless which was pretty good.
I also think it's great that it's not just Nolan who is making thought provoking Sci-Fi movies. With this and Moon, I am definitely looking forward to Duncan Jones next film
9 out of 10

 

[Calcifer]

I also see this today ..the film was fantastic!!!

 

[DinoLast]

Just got back from seeing this. Thought it was great! Although, I was pretty confused at the end. Can anyone explain the end to me? lol.

Spoiler

The source code that has sent Captain Colter's conscious into the body Sean Fentress has actually created an alternate reality that continues, even though Colter's body has died in the reality from which he came.

Spoiler

Ok, So why did Goodwin get an e-mail from Colter, but Rutledge didn't get the phone call? Rutledge said it was cause the Rutledge he called was in a different universe, or whatever. So did he call the Rutledge at the end, because since he stopped the explosion/terrorist that Rutledge never used the source code?

Spoiler

No Rutledge believed that what happened in the Source code was not a reality, but an illusion of reality that is created by the dying brain of Sean Fentress which Coulter's brainwaves are able to interact with, thus anything that happens inside the source code stops after 8 minutes when the brain is fully dead. The alternate reality at the end of the movie contains everything that was created in the last jump into the source code. Anything that happened in previous jumps does not effect this Alternate reality. Coulter's Consciousness is from the first reality we see when he appears in the chamber at the start of the movie, and now it exists in this alternate one, the other Coulter laying in the Source Code chamber at the end of the movie,is an alternate Coulter as are everybody who works there. It's a bit like Star Trek where there are two Spocks, they were the same person before the timeline was changed, but now have become two separate people because one has come from the original reality (TV show) to the alternate reality (JJ Abrams movie).
You see Rutledge was wrong he did not realise that Coulter's conscious could exist in an alternate Universe he has created after his body had died.

Ok, I think I get it.

Just got back from seeing it. Really great movie!

Spoiler

I'm kinda torn about the ending though. On the one hand, it was nice to see that Colter got a "new lease on life" with the alternate reality, but a part of me thinks it would've been a much more beautiful and tragic ending if it ended after Goodwin pulls the plug, they kiss and the freeze frame panning out to show everyone on the train laughing and enjoying themselves, with us knowing that they are all dead.

Looks like a Netflix at best.

Yeah I have to agree if they had ended it there, I would have been greatly satisfied. Still, I was happy with the ending we got

 

[LipSmack]

This moving completely blew all my expectations out of the water, what a great film, I personally loved the ending,

 

[Bullseye]

Went to see this on Friday night. Very enjoyable and original.

 

[Crysis]

I have not seen this yet, I hope the ending is not depressing like he is the bomber.

Spoiler

I thought the ending was kind of perfect, we really got it both ways. I thought they were going to freeze it on the kiss. They held it just long enough that I came to terms with that ending and was a bit disappointed that Rutledge was correct. And when they started it up again I was almost cheering in my head because the romantic in all of us wants it to be real for Coulter. Too bad about Sean though - he's the only one that really died from the bomb in the new reality.

Spoiler

Oh I totally agree.
They way you described how you felt when it's revealed that Coulter's life will continue in the alternate reality, is exactly how I felt too. I honestly had a tear running down my cheek when I thought it was ending on the freeze frame, but I felt a great deal of happiness when it continued. If it had ended on the Freeze frame I think I would not have been disappointed, as at least he would have been at peace, with his life ending with such a happy moment. However I did prefer the ending we got.

Ok, Now that you bring it up.

Spoiler

Do you think Christina still saw Colter as Sean at the end or was he from that point on Colter? Cause I don't think she would react to him the same.

Spoiler

She still thinks he is Sean, as he never revealed to her his true identity in the last Source Code sequence. I assume he would now withhold this information, as he as seemed at peace with his previous life ending when he consoled his alternate father over the phone. There is no point claiming to be Coulter-Stevens when the Coulter-Stevens of the alternate reality is still existing in the Source Code facility. I think he would be happy for the new life he was given and move on

Spoiler

The ending left it open for so many sequel possibilities too. Coulter has essentially folded himself - he's in the new reality as himself and as Sean. In a sequel he could team up with himself to stop a new threat. But I guess he couldn't fold himself again, since that would start a new reality.

Yes this movie could have a great sequel, as you say, there are so many possibilities
