The highly intelligent 2011 sci-fi film spreads its twists and turns over a gripping thriller plot profound idea: It’s about reality construction and multiverse.

Mindfuck Blast: Why the Source Code Ending Is So Good (No Spoilers)
Source code is extremely constructed, like Memento, its structure resembles a string of pearls. With each passage you understand more what happens in this crazy sci-fi scenario. Looking at the source code is also a learning process. That can be a bit much for a single viewing experience. A little help: Duncan Jones explains the ending here.
After the ending, which is both eye-opening and confusing (yes, that’s possible), you’ll want to watch the 90 minutes again – and you should. You will not only understand what exactly is happening on the train and how the timing mechanics affect the perceived (alternative) reality of the characters. Admittedly, that’s the most fun part of the Rewatch. But you will also be able to absorb the emotions of the characters better.
