This is not a movie about coding or computer science, alas. It is~SPOILER~ a rather nice science fiction story, but it has more to do with quantum mechanics and neuroscience than computers. I do not really understand why "the Source Code" is called that in the movie, or what if any relation it has to "source code" in the computer science sense; I'm not sure if that is because I lack any amount of actual comprehension of either computer science or quantum mechanics, or if it is because the writer picked the name out of a hat because it sounds cool.
You really can't trust the trailers, though. Crappy trailers are crappy and make the movie look like crap. Trust the 90% rating on the Tomatometer. Trust director Duncan Jones. If you don't know who he is, watch Moon, and then trust director Duncan Jones. Or trust me, I am a very trustworthy stranger on the internet. :DD
I see from stalking you that you are a fan of Inception. It is my belief that fans of Inception would also enjoy Source Code... unless you are into Inception only for the slash. Which would be valid, I suppose. ;D
