Donie Darko and the Tangent Universe

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2016)

This is a difficult movie to watch and understand. There are several dark themes under exploration. The narrative tends to lean towards science fiction with an element of horror. Each significant character is carefully introduced to fit into story. The story is actually a thesis presented to postulate a notion of time travel, "The Philosophy of Time Travel" stating that time is usually a stable construct but every now and then the fourth dimension gets corrupted. When this happens it creates a tangent universe which is highly unstable and will only last a few weeks before it collapses in upon itself. There is a danger that when the tangent universe collapses it could cause a black hole capable of destroying the primary universe as well.
