Anyone seen this? The trailers made it look like your run-of-the-mill time travel, but it's not. I don't know what the critics thought of it but I found it an engaging story.

I'm not a fan of spoilers, so I'll just give you one line from the scientist: "Source code is not time travel."

Saw it when it came out. Liked it. More like "ground hogs day" on expresso.

I enjoyed it. Nice twist at the end. Character-driven drama. Decent s.f. story.

Meaning is created internally by each individual in each specific life: any attempt at *meaning* which relies on some kind of external superstructure (God, Satan, the Creator, the Worm, whatever) for its substance misses the point (I mean the point of my story). -SRD

Remain faithful to the earth, my brothers, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth ... Do not let them fly away from earthly things and beat with their wings against eternal walls. Alas, there has always been so much virtue that has flown away. Lead back to the earth the virtue that flew away, as I do–back to the body, back to life, that it may give the earth a meaning, a human meaning. -Nietzsche
