So I still can’t get Donnie Darko out of my head.
It was an unusual movie. It was an amazing movie. It was unusually amazing. I won’t give too much away, but the movie takes space/time bending concepts and explores them with some excellent characters. The space/time stuff keeps it from being just a normal “coming of age” film, and the great characters keep it from being just another sci-fi flick.
Go watch it by whatever means possible. Don’t get your hopes up for the sequel, though. The writer/director of the original has no involvement in it at all. That doesn’t mean it can’t be good, but it’s best to approach it without high expectations.
