a while back someone on TNL recommended this movie on a Session 9 thread, I believe.
I was watching this earlier today when I accidently kicked my dvd player. I think I'm almost near the end.
Its a wierd movie, its a little creepy, but the movie does deal with some interesting concepts that pertain to time travel.
if anyone seen this movie, (I'm sure a couple) any comments?
Klonoa I've been meaning to see it isn't the lead actor was he in Bubble Boy? I'd imagine this Movie he did a better job. I'll check it out and post my thoughts.

Thus is another movie on my endless list to check out. I will definately will rent it one of these days. And Session 9 as well.
I loved this movie and found that the main actor did a fantastic job. This is the first flick I've seen from this Writer/Director and am very curious to see any other offerings I might not have heard of. Of course this could be his first one, and if thats the case I look forward to seeing what else this chap can do.
I rented this out of desperation since I had seen everything else on the shelf, I found myself looking at the cover sckeptically but once the movie started I was sucked in immediatly. I really loved the aspect of having an "Abyss" like thing guiding us.

dyomides, good to see another person liking the movie. I got some questions though. The ending is wierd.
********************spoiler***********************
at the end, did he go back in time for the sake of his girlfriend?
or was it like some sort of purgatory,and that he was already dead a la jacob's ladder.
After all is said and done, does the world still end shortly after?
thanks in advance.
The impression I got was that his visions saved him at the beginning at the cost of his family and girlfriend' life at the end. By him being dead from the get go it saves everyone else. What killed him in the end (the engine) was ultimatly from the alternate universe/life he was living by not being killed by it at the beginning of the movie.
So in short yes he did kind of do it for the girl but also his family. As for the world ending it was more of a relative use of the phrase in the sense that for him the world would end, everyone else still lives on. At least thats how I interpreted the movie.
Hope that helps.

okay, so him not dieing in the beginning was like throwing a monkey wrench into a well oiled machine. Okay gotcha.Quote:

thanks a bunch.
Donnie Darko's decent. This was Richard Kelly's first movie and I'll look forward to his next one (though he did confess it won't be as artistic).
couldn't have put it any better. :)

I liked it alot. For being such a brooding movie it still had many really funny moments. dyomides, I got the same impression, and had to explain it to my wife, who still doesn't get it.
you guys got it on the 1st time?
It took me 2 viewings to understand it somewhat (along with dyomides explaination :))
I don't even want to ask about Frank. :/
I'm kinda happy I didn't watch it with my fiance cause she probably wouldn't have liked it which would have probably affected my enjoyment. I have to agree adol, some of the moments were classic as well, I was on the floor from the get go when they were eating at the table at the beginning... classic.

I watched donnie darko for the first time last night. It was pretty good, overall. I really liked the music, and the cinematography was nice. I wasn't a big fan of the story, however. I just didn't care about anything by the time it got to the end. I can't put my finger on what what wrong. all i know was that i didn't really like the story. I'd have to watch it again before i could provide any real criticism.
