Complicated but Enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2019)

I'm going to be honest. I had absolutely no idea what was happening for a lot of this movie. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed it- for the whole of the movie, I was curious about what Donnie was going to do next. I was trying to piece things together, and watching the director's cut really helped with that, showing the pages of the book that Roberta Sparrow wrote. All in all, I would say that this is a good film, becuase it made me think about what was happening instead of just being mindless entertainment. The main thing I was fascinated by was one of the main plot points- Donnie choosing to stay in bed in the Primary Universe so all the events Frank showed him in the Tangent Universe wouldn't happen, and he would be killed by the jet engine. Now these aren't bits of random jargon I'm throwing around, they came from the pages of the book, which was again, very helpful. I also loved how everything tied back to the beginning, with the jet engine at the beginning of the movie coming from the plane crash at the end of the movie. This really pulls it together and makes it a really good film.
