Dreadful, cheap, obvious science fiction

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2005)

I believe Donnie Darko is one of the most over-estimated films ever. It is a cheap, obvious teen-movie. Let summarize its main features. It has no thrill, no development of the plot. Characters are flat as cardboard and heavily stereotyped. The movie tries several times to evolve into something (what exactly we do not know), but constantly fails and falls into obvious common places. Actors are non-existent and dull and dialogues are cheap. ...and above all the end is TERRIBLE, when they try to give a feeling of continuity with the mother and the girl who wave hands... how COULD have ever anyone said anything good about this film? I really wonder where its popularity came from...
