Beyond some.

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2003)

This movie is far from a stinker or a bomb. This is in fact an extremely significant and in-depth movie, and it is not an accident that it is extremely unknown. However, I don't mean that in the sense that it is poorly written.
There are many things that escape the publics eye. Some may feel that is a sign of incompitence or a reflection of the movie as a whole. But you must however realise that many things escape society and are not appreciated for what they are because they are not understood. Donnie Darko is a dark comedy who's theme is entwined with science and the divine.
Symbollism is present in almost every scene of the movie. The characters are written to such a depth that there are emotions and struggles present in even the most insignificant character that reflect the thesis of the main body of the plot.
Much of this movie is left unspoken and for your mind to figure it out. Those who refuse to appreciate this movie are only vitims of their own ignorance. The movie is far more than "timespace crap". There is actually very little science in the movie...although there is a very apparent theme of physics and metaphysics present.
If you feel you can understand, watch it... if not.. enjoy it for what it is classified as... a dark comedy. And for ____'s sake, if you feel that you cannot understand this movie... don't try, you wont like what you find and your X will be to the far left of the lifeline.
