Source Code used one of the things I hate the most in movies, that I have hated since I saw it in a certain M Night asshole movie: the protagonist is in a really confusing world and the reason why it's all confusing is that the protagonist IS ALREADY DEAD AND JUST CAN'T ACCEPT THAT. Yeah, pointlessly confuse the viewer for 80 minutes only to toss in this "clever" twist in at the end. So maybe Adjustment Bureau was the better of the two just because I hate that "plot" even more than the New Agey stuff.
 Source Code

had it ended two min before it actually did, I would have liked it more. The last 2 min does cause serious problems with everything that went before.
Also Adjustment Bureau had some serious chemistry between the leads, also better than in SC.
Looper is better than both but not sure its Spirit's kind of movie.
 Spirit What Is Your Favourite Movie Ever?

Source Code would have been way better if it didn't have that last two minutes added on - damn Hollywood's insistence on a happy ending, even in the wildest most physics-bending science fiction, as if the laws of physics care about human desires! Plus that first ending scene looked really cool.

Phwoar. Coach/phone/coffee scene is too sexy.
Looper > Source Code > Adjustment Bureau
...but then again we're talking about a scale from brilliant to really good :)
 +1 For Ms. Blunt
 Meh

I prefered Triangle and Timecrimes to either Looper and Source Code, have to watch Adjustment Bureau.
Still Primer beats all of these when it comes to pure time travel stuff.
 Oblivion
First 30mins are ok, then it turns into a complete turdfest. Second half is so disjointed it felt like they just randomly cut scenes from it. Also has massive plot holes even if you suspend your disbelief as much as necessary for a flick like this.

I suggest you shift your attention to wild life documentaries.
 The Drones Are Cool Though, No?

I mean comon. It's got Tom Cruise on the lead role. What did you expect? Not a cheese-fest?

 Tom Cruise
is actually not a bad actor and he was in some good movies. But yeah, I guess you're right.
 But Seriously
It was bad even for a Tom Cruise movie.
 I Thought
Cruise was good in Valkyrie.
 Drones & More
Ricky, the drones, the architecture and the ship design are nothing new. We've seen this many times already. Odyssey 2001? Portal? Yeah, they were nice, but simply not realistic. Nothing that relies on some form of propulsion would fly like this. Is there no inertia anymore on earth after the war?
IMO the visual style of the computers was, as usual, idiotic because they were basically unusable. They did look good though.
One thing that stood out positively though was the sound design. I really dug the sounds the drones were making.
 Oblivion.

Is it worth it as a shallow, pointless, cheesy but stylish sci-fi spectacle??
 No
It really isn't. It falls flat even in that category. Also, the music is highly annoying.
 It Just Aggravates You ;-)
 Huh
#5075 posted by Drew on 2013/04/21 22:46:46
music's by m83, was hoping it would thus = qualiry
 Maybe
The music might actually have been nice, but I wouldn't know because it's blasting at deafening volumes. What I don know is that it's overdone for this movie. It distracts from the scene rather than support it.
 Its By The Tron Legacy Guy Right?

sounds like it has the same issues.

Justfied Season 2 - step down from season 1, but still pretty good.
Breaking Bad Season 4 - best season I have seen to date. Last 4 episodes are killer.

Game of Thrones Season 1 - One of the best seasons of tv I have seen.

Justified S2 - really? I thought it was even better than 1, and possibly the best season so far.
Breaking Bad S4 - totally, keeps ramping it up, wouldn't have thought it could be better than S3, but it was.
Luther S2 - I love the outlandish crime scenarios, like the one that starts at the gas station with the guy acting weird, props to the writers for creativity and, of course, Idris Elba rules.
GoT S1 - it's hard to compare seasons since every season is based on one giant overarcing story that's already in books, and the episode numbers reflect that (ie s2e1 is called "episode 11") - but overall Game of Thrones is probably my favourite show right now and I can't see anything challenging it. Shit just keeps getting better.
Haven't seen the others but may get into Dexter one day.

Justified s2, what was really noticeable to me was how disjointed the main story was from week to week stuff. In s1, it seemed to be interwoven much better with the week to week stuff. In s2, sometimes when they did the week to week stuff and then went back to the main story, no time seemed to have passed (at least in the context of the main story), when obviously it actually had.
Also, check out Louie, it should be right up your alley.
