One of the few intelligent movies of 2001

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2001)

With movies like Corky Romano, 13 Ghosts, and On the Line hogging all the theatre spots (at least in my sorry excuse for a city), Donnie Darko was a very welcome change of pace.
I won't get into the details of the plot, as you can read other reviewers comments, but I will however point out a couple details that others got wrong...
Number One - Time Travel is NOT a subplot. This is the point of the whole movie. Everything that happens in this movie revolves around time travel. (Except for the quite entertaining conversation about Smurfs maybe...)
Number Two - The rabbit is neither satanic nor is it six feet tall.
Okay, now that that is out of the way...
You will enjoy this movie if you are not an idiot... Wether you put in the effort to figure out the whole time travel thing or just sit back and enjoy the characters and dark noir ambience.
For those who enjoy fluff -- go see N'Sync attempt an acting career.
For those who have taste -- go see one of the very few worthwhile movies of the year. (This one and Mullholland Drive...)
P.S. If you are having trouble understanding the time travel stuff, check out the film's official site where you can read some excerpts out of the "Philosophy of Time Travel" book in the movie. It pretty much ties the whole plot together.
