I'm just after watching Donnie Darko, and It held my attention till the end. There's some brilliantly chosen music in the movie, egg. Joy Division's "Love will tear us apart" and that other one that was number 1 for like 2 months a few years ago.
However I didn't think Donnie Darko was as thought-provoking as such movies as "Contact" and "A clockwork orange", or even "Fight Club". It's in the same genre as "Final Destination", but better. Its essentially a teen-horror-SF combo, with a bit of a love story mixed in, but It didn't really grab me.
For some reason its set in the 80's, and it reminded me of "ET". The ending confused me somewhat. did the planes engine enter a wormhole or what? Anyway it made me think about life a bit, and I suppose thats good, but it definitely wouldn't be in my to 10.
