Source Code : Another-Sci-Fi

Source Code was one of the anticipated movies I ever wanted to see. I've already seen its teaser last December. The trailer itself almost told the whole story. Nevertheless, the plot was interesting which I think one of the best sci-fi. The hero is none other than the Donnie Darko. I used to think that character whenever I see Jake Gyllenhaal. I was a bit surprised in his character here. He's soldier here, as Colter Stevens, not a Donnie Darko typo.

There's Michelle Monaghan as Christina Warren. She is simply stunning. I could not find that in her role in Eagle Eye. Her character is enticing as in bewitching her hero (Stevens). I find it's awkward to see how she repeated some scenes whenever Steven came back in time. It's because she's the past. This made me think. How this plot will be going? Fortunately, its not all the same. Surprisingly, it came to be unpredictable.

The movie is not so hyped. It is simply a sci-fi thriller with a few of romantic scene. Nothing is new about this kind of film. Here and there are a few scientific phenomena, time-traveling, mission to be accomplished and some air of drama and romance. However, the excitement for the next things to happen is still there, not just superb.

The intense of the actions wasn't felt. Instead that genre was persistently brought in to the element in the plot. Anyway, it gains intensity on the characters emotions. I'm not psycho about it. But the latter is the reason that made the whole movie as great sci-fi thriller film.
