Source Code

This one went completely under my radar. Probably because I'm still yet to see Moon, despite being highly recommended...

Anyway, I somehow managed to catch this one and that was well worth it.
It's simply the best SF movie I've seen in ages.
The Groundhog Day premises is extremely well exploited and manages to be fresh (although some ground has been covered already). But the main success here is the coveralls treatment of the story. You just feel for the main character and the way all is shot has throw backs to gems like 12 Monkeys.

It's funny how because of this, compared to something like Inception (another brilliant mind bender), as much as I love Inception, I would still be tempted to give Source Code the sympathy vote.
Because it manages to give hardcore SF thrills while still being accessible, with an independant feel, and a big warm heart. That's how good it is...

I definitely need to see Moon....
