I think it could have been cool to have the very first scene be the real Sean’s 8 minutes on the train.  Then they blow up and you go right into Jake waking up and being like wtf.

Thru this rewatch I mostly felt bad for Michelle Monaghan’s character — in every scene she has to be like “omg that is NOT the Sean I knew!  Racial profiling, really?!?  Tell me you didn’t grab that guy’s gun!!”

Anyways, this is for sure a comfort movie for me. We are probably living in a simulation but it doesn’t matter because feelings are real and you must act accordingly!!
