Movie Reviews of Donnie Darko (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Donnie Darko
Summary: 4 Stars
Imagine you were going to be killed but you could see another future for a few days. A future where you are relatively happy and life has some meaning. But in even that future bad things happen. I suppose this is just a slice of everyday life with an alien that looks like a big rabbit given evil shots. I enjoyed the movie but it is by no means entertaining. When a young man has no future even in a dimension where he survives a jet engine hitting his room, but his girlfriend is ran over and killed, I think you get the point. Although this has a cult following it does have limited watchability by the general public. Most everyone will be glad they saw it as the acting and directing are excellent. The movie's story on the other had is a little strange and may not suit all tastes. We see a few days in the life of a teenager struggling with typical problems but hanging over his head like Damocles sword is his life, the life of a girl he loves, and the life of another man that kills someone by accident. Good soundtrack. Good quality DVD with good replayability to fans.
Summary of Donnie Darko (Widescreen Edition)
This unclassifiable but stunningly original film obliterates the walls between teen comedy, science fiction, family drama, horror, and cultural satire--and remains wildly entertaining throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal (October Sky) stars as Donnie, a borderline-schizophrenic adolescent for whom there is no difference between the signs and wonders of reality (a plane crash that decimates his house) and hallucination (a man-sized, reptilian rabbit who talks to him). Obsessed with the science of time travel and acutely aware of the world around him, Donnie is isolated by his powers of analysis and the apocalyptic visions that no one else seems to share. The debut feature of writer-director Richard Kelly, Donnie Darko is a shattering, hypnotic work that sets its own terms and gambles--rightfully so, as it turns out--that a viewer will stay aboard for the full ride. --Tom KeoghIn the tradition of Urban Legends and Final Destination, Donnie Darko is an edgy, psychological thriller about a suburban teen coming face-to-face wit his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star-filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high-school student visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past - and deadly predictions for the future. This "excitingly original" (Entertainment Weekly) nail-biter will keep you on the edge of your seat until the mind-bending climax.
