OP

I know I've been told to swap my female characters into males or just rip out sci-fi elements to make them "better".

That sounds pretty disheartening. :/ Write what you want, not what other people tell you to. I know, at least when I'm writing, I consider what's best for the story - not what's going to check off a list of things that will sell.

For the record... I actually liked the film more than I thought it would. It felt a bit long towards the end, but visually it was very nice to look at.

Yeah, that's what I try to do. It's about balance. For example, I refused to change the gender of my characters because that was really important to me. I did, however, take the "scrap the sci-fi" thing to heart but instead of changing everything and submitting that I wrote two versions of my script, one with sci-fi elements and one without. I then submitted both. It was a really difficult rewrite since they essentially told me "keep all the dialogue the same but take out the time machine" and I was writing a plot that heavily relied upon a Groundhog Day scenario that was the result of a broken time machine. It was actually an interesting exercise in the end and really forced me to stretch my writing skills. Granted, after all of that I was told that while both were good, the sci-fi one was better. Go figure.

For the record... I actually liked the film more than I thought it would. It felt a bit long towards the end, but visually it was very nice to look at.

Ah, I probably won't see it then. I'm one of those people who couldn't care less about visuals. No matter how good they are they never make up for bad writing for me. I'm just super plot oriented.

yeah... there were some good twists, but because i've watched a lot of movies, i predicted what was going to happen.
and there were one or two lines that made me roll my eyes.

[forgottenjester]

Ah, yeah, predictable movies are only fun to watch when you're at home and you get to place bets.

I swear, I wish I had bet money on the entire plot of Source Code. I would have gone home with a very nice sum of money.
