Johannesnk This movie can stand on it's own, you don't need to have watched Donnie Darko to watch this movie, or to understand this movie, who really understands Donnie Darko anyway. It's meant to be mysterious. This movie gave me the same fantastic atmospheric feeling of mystique that Donnie Darko did.Can we just for one moment forget that this is supposed to be a sequel to the greatest movie of all time? I think people are way too harsh on the movie. I watched the movie with an open mindset and I tell myself that if I had never seen Donnie Darko I would still really enjoy this movie.I didn't see any obvious flaws or paradoxes while watching, it was just enjoyable and the music was very unique too. So unique that you can't even find that one particular good song from the movie on YouTube. Usually soundtracks are everywhere for free but not this one.It had a lot of parallel action with Donnie Darko, and I appreciate that.Definitely worth the watch if you are an open minded Donnie Darko fan or if you have never watched Donnie Darko and don't intend to. Because you obviously wanna watch Donnie Darko first.

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!!!

alfredblue2 Oh my gosh. Why? I just don't get it. This has got to be one of the worst sequels ever made. Lets look at the list and take a look at everything wrong with this film. And by the way let me say i AM a big fan of Donnie Darko.1. The acting is almost unbearable. 2. The story sucks... well if you even want to call it a story. 3. its so confusing and does not even come together in the end. 4. The characters are extremely unlikable if you liked these characters my heart goes out to you... but you have no brain. 5. SO MUCH LAME CGI There you go the top five list of why this movie is so awful. I give this film a F.

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.
