This movie reminds me of Sorce Code
Anyone else feel that?
shareOr I mean Source Code reminds me of this movie because this movie is older. haha

Yep, still, I love both movies, somehow time travel movies just intrigue me... something about it being paradoxical (or not) makes you think and think about such movies.
Anyone got other good time travel movies?
Lots of tv shows like journeyman or timetrax or 7 days etc..
Movies like millennium, Twelve Monkeys and 12 Monkeys are much more intense.

I totally got deja vu just now.
shareWith the only difference is that Source Code is 10x times better.
shareSource Code is 10x times WEAKER

I don't think so. At least Source Code makes sense, not like this contrived bull$hit. share
A lot of this made sense, except it doesn't make sense to me that a lot of stuff in the original timeline happen after he goes to the past, as if it's all one timeline, which makes no sense, because then whoever died in the original time line should not magically be saved if the original time line already took into account what would happen after the time traveling!
Plus it made zero sense that with the snap of some fingers they magically had what they needed to send that note through time. lol. And the main character. So they never do that type of thing, but magically can go set up soemthing to do it in 2 minutes.
I thought about knocking a whole point off on the rating due to these.

Actually... I usta think the same way (that certain elements from the original timeline were commingled with the new timeline). I have been enlightened (by another board member). This commingling didn't actually happen. It only seems like it. They hafta take liberties with "time" (but they had already done that with Doug doing SO much in about his first hour on the case).
As for magically having something to send a note back... They already had it. They just hadn't tried sending a note before.
Quote from the movie (below)...
"You can't beat the physics. The electro-magnetic field... You... Look, you transition across what's known as the Wheeler boundary, alright? An EM pulse annihilates all electrical activity. That's your heartbeat. That's brain waves. That's everything... Let's just say that we've done enough tests to know that it's not even possible... It's not even theoretically possible... Like a hamster goes back... Dead!!" share
Also, they make a point of saying that even though they had the technology to do so there were rules put in place preventing them from altering time. Doug just convinced them to go rogue in these instances.
In response to the multiple timelines, they kind of address this as well with the river metaphor. Sending the note back was the equivalent of tossing a pebble in to try and change it's direction, but sending Doug back himself was enough of a difference maker to completely alter the timeline, at least at the point where he shoots Caviezel's character and drives the bomb into the river. Once he saves the ferry he has effectively created another "branch" of the river.
Yeah, to some extent.
