Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Mark Ryan This is not the ideal sequel, but it's not bad either. It's not another *Donnie Darko*--which a lot of reviewers seem to be expecting. It's its own thing--so give it a chance. In terms of the crafts, it's very well done. And the script is pretty tight. By not means is this a "B" movie.Did anyone notice that the mine tunnel ("adit" to miners) *is* a mine tunnel, not a set? No small thing in production terms. Did anyone notice how good Daveigh Chase is in the title role? Or the superb opening title sequence?There is a complex and nuanced relationship between the lead characters, Samantha and Corey. Corey is an open book, while Samantha is is locked up tight, burying her past. The acting is spot on. Samatha in particular seems damaged and very much the sibling of Donnie Darko.I agree that some of the elements of the original film---the bunny mask and *The Philosophy of Time Travel* are simply appropriated. But they needed some link. This film has its own mysteries. It's definitely worth a watch.
Justin Gatti I know people are like..."Whaaat???" Yeah I'm crazy...thats probably why this movie made sense to me. Quite the twist...I tell you...or twists I should say. Watch it without expectations and comparisons, but don't forget D. Darko. Try not to be so critical about the different director or arguably the poor acting. A little more optimism and open-mindedness. Let your imagination go with the POTT. Check out the D.Darlo web page and get it all lay-ed out. This movie also answers some questions about the first especially about Mrs Death.I would love to lay out my points, but I don't want to post this one as a spoiler...maybe the next one. About to watch it again...Peace!!!
JKuenzel ...sadly enough, I did not use IMDb for this movie - I usually do b4 watching a new flick. Never again!!! This movie was actually so bad, that after just 30minutes, I got up, got my netbook and checked it on IMDb - I thought I had been given the wrong film... It confirmed my worries and I must tell you: !!!DO-NOT-WASTE-YOUR-TIME-WATCHING-THIS-MOVIE!!! There is movies that waste your time and there is movies that make you angry about the fact that they did so... This is one of the latter.There is NO STORY LINE, there is NO FUNNY/SAD/INTERESTING/SCARY/COOL/MEMORABLE MOMENTS in this movie. -ANYWHERE! The chick is kinda cute - THAT IS IT. There is NOTHING good about this film: no sceneries, no nice shots, no nice music, no nice dialog, no nice plot, no, no, no, nothing... I really did try to find something good about this flick, but like another review states: you find yourself saying: "WTF...?!?!" every one to two minutes for nearly the entire movie as nothing makes sense (and that is NOT something intended by the storyline/writer), nothing matters, nothing gets you anywhere in this movie.I think this was made just to be made, not to set any new standards or be a good movie - I think someone wanted to make a movie and did so and that is it.I have seen a bunch of really bad movies lately - including LEGION - but this is by far the worse and most mundane and uninteresting movie that has EVER found its way on to my computer. DO NOT RENT THIS - EVEN IF IT IS FREE OR ONLY ONE BUCK! Don't waste your time. Go have some quality time with ur g/f / b/f / wife / husband, walk the dog, clean the litter-box, take out the trash, cook some food, do some laundry, ready a book, talk to the neighbor, watch random TV-channels or simply sleep some - anything is better than watching this p**ce of C**P!
riot_guuy All the recognizable bits are there... the reverse time-lapse, the god-botherer, the giant bunny rabbit, the mangled voice, the (supposed) tear-jerker song toward the end, liquid future-paths... but here I don't see any semblance of a decent story. You get the sense these elements were handpicked because they're expected from a Darko movie, rather than being used to add to or create the story in a meaningful way.Wouldn't have been surprised to see a dialogue about smurfs or something similar (there may have been but I stopped taking complete notice a little way in). After all we did get treated to the cringe-worthy "Why are you looking at me funny?" - "Why do you look funny?", an obvious nod.I get the sense it could better seen more than once (did have the cynicism turned on) but it will be a while before I give it that chance. Bunny-droppings.
