A Great Mixture of dark and light

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2004)

Donnie Darko is a typical teenager, with the usual issues that permeate the high school years, but his life takes a strange twist when he begins to have visions of a demonic rabbit named "Frank." Each of his choices effect the options in his life, but in the end, he makes one last choice. For those of you who have read Nikos Kazantzakis's "the Last Temptation of Christ", this movie seems based upon the same story line with a little Star Trek and teen love thrown in. It combines both the lightness of a love story and the darkness of a horror drama. For most of the movie, all the extra "threads" that run through the movie may seems needless, but at the climax, they are what pull the movie together.
