Finally, a movie that makes you think.

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2003)

My friends and I have all seen Donnie Darko and an overwhelming theme encompasses all of our thoughts on the movie. We all really liked it. As the credits rolled, we sat and talked about the movie, each person putting in their two cents on the meaning of the movie. Much unlike all the other crap big-blockbuster movies out there that are driven by elaborate special effects, weak plots and the latest popular actors, Donnie Darko is heavily plot driven and invites the viewer to actively participate. Rather than just sitttin there allowing the plot to be revealed to you, the viewer must actually think about the movie and come to conclusions based on the movie based on your own interpertation of the movie. In closing, Donnie Darko was a great movie. I recommend watching the movie with the commentary, it provides a lot of insight.
