comments on Source Code

Source Code is, in a lot of ways, Moon with a) explosions and b) a cast larger than "Sam Rockwell, the voice of Kevin Spacey, and a guy with an uncanny resemblance to Sam Rockwell." This is by no means a bad thing: Moon was one of the best SF movies of the last N years. Great twisty story, excellent acting, fun times. Basically, if you like smart SFnal movies, go see this one. (Someone, I forget who, described it as "a film version of Spider And Web," which is not wholly inaccurate either.)

I've seen several people online complaining about the science of the happy ending, though. These complaints mostly strike me as unfounded. (Complaints about the plausibility of the happy ending, sure: but it is consistent with the movieverse.)
