Undescribable Perfection

Pretty Good

Good concept, poorly executed.

best movie i've ever seen.

Jake Gyllenhaal looks the part and acts really well.. Vera Farmiga looks gorgeous and Michelle Monaghan looks extremely beautiful. The concept of the movie is very original and the execution of the original idea is perfect here.. Jeffery Wright is another class actor. I was blown away by the film's premise and although a bit far fetched but it was extremely entertaining

Everything in the movie was good untill the last 10 to 15 minutes of the movie. Going by the end part of the movie, this movie does not make sense at all. In one scene captain colleen tells colter that there was a train bombing at 7.30 in the morning and he should prevent the further attacks which are going to happen. But at the end of the movie we hear someone telling to Dr. Rutledge that there was an attempt to blow up the train at 7.30 am but the attack failed. We know that colter saves the train from bomb explosion in source code but in the reality world indeed there was a train bomb explosion at 7.30 am and how did it turned as failed attack in real world by end of the movie. Also how can colter gets into the body of Sean permanently and enter real world from source code, whiles his body is still in the Life support and his mind is still active.Also at point we see colleen terminating the life support of Colter but at the end we see that his mind is still active and his body is still in life support. There are too many flaws in the movie which gets exposed in the last 10 to 15 minutes of the movie.

The original meaning of the term "Science Fiction" was basically that the writer assumes some major scientific or engineering breakthrough has been made, and then writes a scientifically coherent story that illustrates the impact that this fictional development has. Most so-called "Sci-Fi" is NOT Science Fiction at all, it's basically Cowboy stories in spacesuits. I don't see anything at all wrong with the ending; it might be a tad too feel-good for some sad souls, but the whole point is, this is a story centered around a brand new technology that the users still barely understand; it doesn't have to follow somebody's clod ideas of "common sense." Apparently science doing unexpected things is only acceptable if it does the WRONG thing.... To me the most haunting scene lasted just a couple of seconds, where we saw that the previous animated conversation between Stevens and Goodwin consisted of nothing more than chatroom-like text on a computer screen. The rest was just an illusion generated by the computer.

This a very late review. I saw the movie back in 2011 and 2 other times since now in 2017.Generally is a good sci-fi thriller that for me is ruined by its preposterous ending.Mind though that the cinematic ending isn't the original. Hollywood producers insisted for a happy ending so they ruined the movie putting a ridiculous twist that simply doesn't make any sense.So, go and see it. Its production is good and there is the proper amount of suspense to make it interesting. I like Michelle Monaghan's performance in this, and Jeffrey Wright's up to a point, but Jake Gyllenhaal is looking to nervous in the lead.
