Proof that Hollywood has no new ideas. It has been evident for a long time so why did I bother with this over long boring non story that in no way adds anything new to the brilliance of the 1982 film. Characters are all non relatable. Story is thin and unclear for the most part. By the time any of it became clear I no longer cared. Visually it works but with no plot to carry you through scene after scene everything turns stale. Gimics and old pop culture references do not make it any better. Acting was placid but the roles required little emotion anyhow. Very disappointing because it could have been an interesting extension or continuation of the old film. But yet again we are served up some half baked story over sprinkled with glittery CGI. They should not have bothered.

Thanks for the FF button. Had to make much use of it.

The only way I was able to enjoy this film was by completely disregarding the technology dreamed up by a writer who didn't have a clue how to facilitate, outside of wizardry, the transference of a dead man's consciousness into the memories of another dead man just before a train exploded. I decided not to challenge myself by asking "but how?" and simply accepted that the "source code" could do this.

It was easy because this move is so slick and fast paced that you are not allowed the time to ponder how it was possible. So, if you are able to push aside your critical thinking you will enjoy the movie.
