Must see

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2015)

Donnie Darko, is perhaps one of the better films that was released in the early 2000s. It centres on a troubled teenager in the midst of his latter college years. He is awakened by a mysterious character known as Frank (a 6ft bunny rabbit) who saves his life. Throughout the film, Frank tells Donnie he must do certain tasks in order to save humanity.
I think, the beauty of this film is solely due to the underlying theme of religion combined with science, or science fiction. Whilst, the director has highlighted how troublesome high school can be for some people. It drops subtle religious hints throughout the film suggesting that Donnie could ultimately represent the saviour.
Furthermore, although the directors knowledge of science may be all but perfect, watching the movie it is hardly noticeable. Watching the film for the first time I didn't rightly know where the ending was going, having given it some thought and reading up on the storyline it was encouraging to see how creative this movie really is. If someone asked me what this film is essentially about - 'Time Travel'
I would highly recommend this film as it provides not only a superb amalgamation of religion and science fiction. It is ultimately a good watch with lots of action, suspense and humour.
