What?!?!?

Rating: 3/10 (16 February 2003)

Ok, I know there are going to be a great amount that tell me "Man, you just didn't get it! The film is over yoru head!" Well they would be right. I am sick of films being made for the sole purpose of trying to pull off a Keyser Soze! I will give the film credit on atmosphere and the "Evil Dead" cameo. Other than that this film was a flop. I undestand the basic plot, but I am not a fan of scientific BS. I usually don't warm up to science fiction, but at least science fiction has the integrity to let the viewer understand the fiction part. This film, however actually tries to make us believe that things that don't happen could happen. I understand most of you are gonna defend it saying that it is meant to be taken fictionally, but I am sorry any film that chooses science as a tool for rebellion has simply lost touch with reality. Here in Donnie Darko, that is what we have. The plot is science versus whomever is content. Well, factually I think the world needs to be a little more apathetic to what we can do, because in the end everything we do is just everything we have done. There is no honor in pointless scientific advances. Especially when the science world is still divided on the idea of "Monkey Man Evolution". Here's a little pointer you can't get from point A to point C without point B. Point B is a missing link and so is the gap between Monkey and Man. Science weirdos get a life and quick feeding us garbage like this trash can flick and others such as "The Matrix". All these films are, is "Plan 9 From Outer Space" with a bigger budget.
