what if science could create reality using quantum physics?
Source code , directed by Duncan Jones(2011), Moon, (2010) Warcraft (2016); What if science could create reality using quantum physics, inside a virtual loop, inside a virtual window, inside the human mind? What if, there existed a super computer, capable of traveling through time to alter reality in real time, and hop scotch back and forth from one parallel dimension to another? What if, science could discover, via quantum mechanics, that the brain is like an electromagnetic field,and, could, even after death remain viable, electrically charged with all circuits remaining open? What if, in addition to this hyper-charged field of energy, science could tap into this field, this memory bank (so to speak); a short term memory track whose parameters were limited in time to an eight minute window , allowing the brain to act like a video recorder; storing data and information, remaining viable even while post mortem. This "memory bank" would enable science to capitalize on the overlap, the gap in between. What if this overlap could be labeled the "source code", enabling science to determine that memory is not inside the brain, but, according to the scientist in the movie, Dr. Ruttledge (Jeremy Wright), memory resides outside of the brain and the mind and resides in the collective space and that the brain acts like an antenna, creating a virtual reality?In the movie "Source Code", science has figured out a way to "re-assign time" or travel through time to reverse the affects of a terrible chaotic tragedy. A dirty bomb explodes on a train in Chicago, and another one will go off , unless, science can utilize both biology and physics, quantum physics to go backward in time, discover the terrorism involved with the heinous act.Amoung the many people that die, one man, Sean Fentris dies, but scientist manageer to recover his body for their experiment in "Time Re-assignment" or time travel. He matches the physiology, gender, biochemistry of an Airforce captain named Colter Stevens(Jake Gylenhaal), Donnie Darko(2001), The Day after Tomorrow(2004), Broke Back Mountain(2005).Captain Colter Stevens body resides in a box, presumedly alive only via electrodes and external life support, with no legs, and whose consciousness and mind is linked with Sean Fentris. the magic of Hollywood and the science fact/ fiction??? of quantum physics/theory create a "Ground Hog Day" (the movie 1992), affect. The loop, the experience of reliving the explosion over and over, in an effort to discover who is behind the bombing of the train. That, is the captains' job, with the help of the airforce technology "source code". Meanwhile, in the back drop of this detective story/ science exploration into the world of quantum mechanics, Sean Fentirs, aka, Captain Colter Stevens, somehow glimpses his image in the widow of the fast moving train in Chicago and notices the image is different than the image he sees in the mirror. This ripple is like a wobble in his universe because now he has to argue with the "Mad Scientist" Dr Ruttledge (Jeffery Wright), (2004) Manchurian Candidate; (2005) Syrianna, (2008) James Bond Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace; (2013) Hunger Games; Catching Fire.He is a quantum physics genius, and in collaboration with the US Airforce, has created and engineered the Source code technology. Walter Ruttledge is a self absorbed scientist who, according to the director Duncan Jones , is both caring and compassionate, as long as everything involve his technology. Captain Stevens, well, his avatar??? loops back and forth through time and space, and , like a detective, must analyze the events of surrounding the bombing, while riding the train, discover who or what ignites the explosion. Only, the universe intervenes. The lovely Cristina Warren played by Michelle Monahan ( 2006) Mission Impossible 3; Gone Baby Gone(2007) Made of Honor(2008); becomes as important as the Captains' overriding mission, and soon, eclipses his mental focus. (@@@@and train of thought:):):):) PUN ....HA HA HAThe Captain wants to save the day and get the girl too!..This is where it all gets wonky... because up til now, for me anyway, it all seems plausible within the enthusiastic world of science fiction and nearly science fact... then, I wondered what else the director worked on and I discovered his work (Moon, 2010). This work helped me to understand the man in the box, the scope and significance of the virtual reality element and how Mr Jones was using this in his story. In the movie "Moon", corporate imperatives attempt to marroon employees used to mine Helium derivities while cloning human elements. Kevin Spacey playes the artificial intelligence robot "Gerty". I finally got the connection.Unlike the science in the movie DE JA VU, where scientist use artificial intelligience and virtual reality to create a window in time that last 4 minutes, unable to go backward only able to move forward, to catch a killer, before he blows up a ferry carrying naval personnel and the families in New Orleans Louisianna, Source code does not attempt to delve into the science so much as it tries to create a "Ground Hog Day" effect. But unlike the movie "Ground Hog Day" where Bill Murray (Ghost Busters) (Saturday night Live), must experience the same day over and over and over because he is trying to get the girl, who is all he can think about. The actress, Addie MacDowell, is so beyond Bill Murrays character in every way that his obsession turns, morphs, into some supernatural field.. Puxutoney Phil popps his head out of the ground on Feb 2. this means, if memory serves, that this small town in Pennsylvania has observed years of tradition, and there will be 6 more weeks of winter. MacDowells' character thinks Murrays character is superficial, opportunistic, artificial, self absorbed, crast,fake and phoney. He is the exact opposite of her. He has no insite , no self awareness, so he goes around and around, he has to, to figure out what she is about and to figure out what he's about. He does doscover a few thiings about himself, but he does not gain enlightenment. He does get layed, which seems to be the whole point. He still is a schmuck. However, in Source Code, THE PRIME objective is to catch the terrorist to thwart the future bomb timed to destroy the entire city and possible uncover a terrorist cell. The infatuation , if it can even be labeled that, doesn't seem real. And this is because, there is the man in the box, hooked to electrodes, having his consciousness cyphoned out to feed the source code technology. That is my take..I am sticking to it>>> Loved this movie....

Más de lo mismo
Tenía muchas ganas de esta película en 4K ya que en Blu-ray luce muy bien, por desgracia no mejora alguna en 4K

Gran calidad del bluray
Esta es una valoración de la película “Código Fuente” en formato bluray con número de ASIN: B008IBFWQ0Un bluray de muy alta calidad, de los mejores que he visto para una película que se ve con gusto. Le daría un 9 de 10 en calidad de imagen.En cuanto al sonido, es 5.1, tanto en inglés como en castellano y catalán. Vienen también los subtitulos en los tres.La película trata el tema de la ductilidad del tiempo, con unos razonamientos aceptables que te hacen verla con gusto. Tanto el protagonista masculino, Jake Gillenhaal como la femenina Michelle Monaghan son creibles y, a mi, me encantan los dos.El envío fue rapido y vino bien protegido en un sobre de abrefácil Amazon

Correos: un problema
Han soltado el sobre tirándolo al suelo en vez de depositarlo en su sitio. El estuche, roto. Menos mal que el disco está bien

Underrated movie
Jake Gylenhall stars as an Afghanistan vet who finds himself working for a shadowy government organisation; he initially seems to be suffering from drug-induced hallucinations, however the truth soon becomes apparent, and it's much more terrifying than anything the former helicopter pilot could ever have imagined...Gylenhall is a steady presence who lacks the charisma of some of his more illustrious Hollywood contemporaries but who makes a passable action hero, while the stunning Michelle Monaghan provides strong support, and Jeffrey 'Felix Leiter' Wright is also good as the programming genius behind the mysterious Source Code.The film itself has some excellent effects, a twisty-turny storyline that will keep you on your toes, and a mood that feels tense and threatening throughout.
