So what was the point?

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 2002)

I watched the movie, some parts twice, went over all the deleted scenes with commentary which filled in a lot of blanks. I figured out the time travel and deus ex machina thing (which was actually set up in a deleted scene).
But my final analysis was: so what? The bunny saves him, a bunch of stuff happens, and then he goes back in time to die. All the bad things he exposed or tried to prevent in the middle of the movie will still happen.
Some people are saying he sacrificed himself to save the world. I have NO IDEA how you would get that from the events as depicted in the film. Maybe from the director's commentary, which I didn't listen to, or just someone's hopeful interpretation.
Anyway, the acting was good, except maybe from the parents who seemed disinterested (I know they were supposed to be, but not that much). The direction was good, pacing was good, mood was very good. Suspense was great, it definitely draws you toward the conclusion. So everything was great until the ending.
I enjoyed going back over the movie to piece together the clues, but after all that, I still feel like I missed something. If I have to make up my own ending I might as well make up the whole story too, and save my 5 bucks.
