"Lily awoke in an evening dress and an opera cloak. In her hand were 5 playing cards"
So I recently watched Source Code by Duncan Jones, I am quite a science fiction fan and thought this might be a good flick. I did really enjoy the film and would recommend it to anyone who likes an action film with a bit of mystery and intelligence. The best thing the film does is to add the mystery of what the source code is and what the main character is doing and where he is when he isn't having his Groundhog day moments. This dual narrative is the most interesting part of the film an what happens on the train is practically irrelevant. The strongest science fiction idea doesn't come till near the end SPOILER!! where you find out the source code is more than the scientists think and that the source code continues as a parallel world for the hero to live in. This concentrated dose of scifi ideas saves the ending from being a cheesy cliché in which the boy gets the girl and asks her if she "believes in fate". END OF SPOILER So overall its an easy watch with not too bad acting and a nice bit of scifi.
