Something is Happening

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2003)

It was about a month ago I went down to my local Blockbuster, and there really wasn't much left on the shelf. Consequently decided to watch Donnie Darko out of sheer boredom. To be honest the movie wasn't that bad.
The synopsis of the movie was to enlighten the viewer about the theory of timelines and how those timelines decided your fate. However my personal thoughts about the movie, that ending was a little sketchy, as the 'real' reality did not coincide with the 'alternative' reality. The movie that came close to capturing the theory of timelines was Sliding Doors. Obiter Dictum I personally think that the theories of timelines should be thought of as two train lines that have to intersect.
All aside the low budget actually enhanced the appeal of the movie, as it gave it an eighties look. Moreover the movie montage dubbed to Tears for Fears - Head Over Heals was absolutely brilliant.
I really can't say that Donnie Darko isn't one of my all time favourites, however the movie is unforgettable. Apart from some of its flaws, the movie does deserve a high rating of 8 out 10.
