In the following review I'll be careful to keep descriptions extremely general to avoid giving away any spoilers. Source Code is a thriller with a heavy science fictional slant. In this fast paced film, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a soldier participating in a new experimental scientific project called the Source Code. Through it's cutting-edge technology he is able to experience the last 8 minutes of short term memory stored in the brain of a man who was killed during a terrorist commuter train bombing earlier that morning. As it turns out, the bomber of the commuter train has also threatened to detonate an atomic device in the city, a "dirty bomb", killing tens of thousands of innocent people with his next act of destruction. It is desperately hoped by the Source Code team that by Gyllanhaal's reliving of the train attack via the Source Code technology, the bomber (who they believe stepped off the train only just before the explosion) can be identified by Gyllanhaal--and thusly tracked down and stopped before he has a chance to carry out his second, far deadlier attack. Discovering that he is unable to clearly recall many details of his recent past, including how or when he first joined the Source Code project, Gyllenhaal has many, many questions to ask about the Source Code and himself in relationship to it--and the evasive non-answers he's given to his questions tell him that there's clearly something he's not being told. Gyllenhaal soon concludes that whatever facts he is to learn about himself and the Source Code will have to be uncovered by him on his own. As he relives the victim's final 8 minutes, re-experiencing them multiple times like some darkly twisted variation of "Groundhog Day", and as he races frantically against time to save a threatened city, Gyllenhaal also finds himself unexpectedly falling for the victim's girlfriend (played by the likable and talented Michelle Monaghan) and becoming obsessively concerned over what happened to the other doomed passengers on that ill fated train. I thought Source Code was a very cleverly written and well made thriller. Kept short and taught at only a sparse 93 minutes of running time, the film kept the story moving at a very fast pace without ever slowing down to catch it's breath. I found myself liking this movie far more than I'd expected to. It really surprised me. After watching it, I have to say I thought it had it all; from tense and exciting action scenes, to a "ticking-clock" driven mystery needing desperately to be solved before time runs out, to a unique love story between a pair of characters who I truly cared about. In my estimation, Source Code never faltered for a single moment. Expertly acted, written and directed (and, as a bit of trivia, the director is actually rock star David Bowie's son), I thought this was a clever, original and all around riveting film thriller. If you're looking for an entertaining movie to keep you glued to the screen for an hour and a half, then look no farther; Source Code is a spectacular way to spend 93 very entertaining and fast paced minutes of your time. I highly recommend it!

I spent some time trying to figure out what was going on. The ending was kind of a surprise. It is a different kind of movie. I really liked it..

Good suspense movie.

Source Code was another time transfer movie, but instead of sending a whole person back they were only able to send one mans mind back, to prevent a terrorist from exploding a bomb on a train in Chicago. Another dirty bomb would follow. It was engrossing to keep me guessing throughout the movie. The man had only one thought about going back time and time again till he got it right, and that was to save the girl he'd grown to like. The ending was what got me. Once his job was done he wanted to be unplugged and left to die like his father had already been told. His mind was working but his body was half gone from war injuries and barely kept alive. When a friend did give him his request his mind was in the past where it stayed with the body he occupied. Only thing is, where did the mind of the original owner go? It never said, but the movie is great.

This is a very suspenseful sci fi and the actors were great. The ending really has you in doubt of the time travel in alternative realities. Do they exist or not. The bonus features added insights to the filming and a crash course on quantum theory and time.

Un peliculón muy dinámico con un final más que interesante. Una magnífica interpretación y un argumento bastante sólido sobre el tiempo y el amor y el aprendizaje a través de ello.

>>> ZUM FILM <<< Nachdem Duncan Jones im Jahre 2009 mit seinem Regiedebüt "Moon" ein Meisterwerk drehte, das sowohl Kritik als auch Publikum weitgehend begeisterte, fragten sich viele Zuschauer, ob er mit seinem zweiten Film an den Erfolg der Science Fiction-Perle "Moon" würde anknüpfen können. Jones entschied sich letztlich dazu, seine eigene Drehbuchvorlage zu "Source Code" zu verfilmen. Erneut gelang es ihm, mit einem überschauberen Budget einen großartigen Film zu drehen. Wieder kann das Thema als Science Fiction-Stoff bezeichnet werden und wieder enttäuscht der Regisseur sein Publikum nicht. Der Film liefert ausreichend Inhalt, um auch anspruchsvollere Filmfans zufrieden stellen zu können. Er bietet jedoch auch mehr Actionanteile als der sehr ruhige "Moon" und zeigt sich weniger sperrig und deutlich mainstreamorientierter als Jones' Erstling. Freunde von Filmen, die sich mit Zeitreisenphänomenen beschäftigen oder, was hier zutreffender ist, quantenphysikalische Fragestellungen in den Mittelpunkt der Handlung stellen, werden mit "Souce Code" voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Und aus der Frage, ob es so etwas wie Multi- pder Paralleluniversen geben könnte, entspinnt sich eine Handlung, die sowohl spannend als auch intelligent zugleich ist. In Zeiten, in denen zumeist seelenlose hollywood'sche Effektfeuerwerke die Kinocharts dominieren, ist "Source Code" daher eine willkommene Abwechslung. Der Film zeigt sich dabei inhaltlich nicht übermäßig originell - zumindest für Leute, die "Donnie Darko", "Inception" oder ähnliche Filme kennen. "Donnie Darko" zählt in meinen Augen bis heute zu den ungewöhnlichsten und intelligentesten (Sci-Fi-)Filmen aller Zeiten. Und obwohl "Inception" thematisch vollkommen anders angesiedelt ist, so spielt er ebenfalls mit unterschiedlichen Realitätsebenen. Während "Donnie Darko" im Kino finanziellen Schiffbruch erlitten hat und erst durch die anschließende DVD-Auswertung einem breiteren Publikum bekannt wurde, war "Inception" einer der ganz großen Kassenerfolge des Jahres 2010. Inhaltlich ist bei "Source Code" sogar eine gewisse Nähe zu "Donnie Darko" zu erkennen. Mit diesem Film wurde Jake Gyllenhaal seinerzeit bekannt und vielleicht war es auch diese Verwandtschaft, die ihn überzeugte, in "Source Code" die Hauptrolle zu übernehmen. Im Ergebnis ist "Source Code" ein sehr intelligenter Sci-Fi-Action-Mix, der so manchen Zuschauer am Ende grübelnd zurücklassen dürfte. Was ist Realität und gibt es nur diese eine Realität? Gibt es Paralleluniversen? Kann man eingetretene Ereignisse nachträglich ändern? Wie auch immer: Ich wurde blendend unterhalten und kann in dem Film, im Gegensatz zu anderen, kaum Logiklöcher erkennen. Als einziger Kritikpunkt fallen mir spontan die nicht wirklich gelungenen CGI-Effekte ein. Sie sehen zu sehr nach Computereffekten aus, die ins Bild kopiert wurden. Das geht - auch bei einem begrenzten Budget - im Jahre 2011 deutlich besser. >>> ZUR BLU-RAY <<< BILD (gesehen auf 50 Zoll-Display) Die Bildqualität ist phänomenal! Eine überragende Gesamt- und Detailschärfe, ausgewoge Farben, sowie hervorragende Schwarz- und Kontrastwerte lassen das Bild weitgehend referenzwertig erscheinen und sorgen beinahe durchgängig für "HD WOW"-Effekte. TON (gehört mit 7.1-Set) Der Ton liegt auch auf Deutsch im 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio-Format vor, der sehr voluminös und mit hervorragender Dynamik ausgestattt ist. Natürlich gibt es Abmischunbgen, bei denen der Bass tiefer und die Surroundeffekte imposanter sind. Im Ergebnis kann der Ton jedoch trotzdem auf ganzer Länge überzeugen. Von den Extras ist insbesondere der sehr interessante Audiokommentar zu empfehlen. Das Interview mit Duncan Jones wirkt durch die Kapitelunterteilung mit Zwischenüberschriften nicht flüssig, versorgt den interessierten Zuschauer jedoch trotzdem mit zahlreichen interessanten Hintrgrundinformationen. Das Bild-im-Bild-Feature ist ganz nett, die beigefügten Trailer runden das Paket ab. Insgesamt nicht berauschend aber zumindest teilweise sehr informativ. >>> FAZIT <<< "Souce Code" ist kein Meilenstein aber sehr intelligente, spannende Hollywood-Unterhaltung auf gehobenem Niveau. Da die Blu-Ray zudem mit einem überragendem Bild und einem sehr guten Ton überzeugen kann, gibts von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

Si reprodujo en mi PS4, soy de México.

DVD tecnicamente perfetto. La trama del film, reperibile su vari siti dedicati, ad es TV Film, MyMovies ect., è singolarmente accattivante, a volte un poco angosciante, ma via via si comprende che il finale sarà catartico e, naturalmente, fantascientifico come dev'essere. Splendide ma purtroppo troppo brevi, eppur risolutive, apparizioni di Vera Farmiga, attrice assai versatile e di gran lunga superiore, a mio avviso, a più blasonate dive USA attuali. Fra i suoi film 'leggeri' che ho visto raccomando 'Innamorarsi a Middleton', 'Tra le nuvole' e 'Henry's crime'. Nel secondo film compare con uno splendido nudo di schiena ripreso con gran classe.

Excellent.
