| Pros |
Intricate plot. Stunning debut for inventive director. Atmostpheric. Great cast. |
| Cons |
Inaccessible to casual viewers. Dense plot may confuse some. |
| Bottom Line |
This is a must see for fans of hard sci-fi that need something to obsess over for months after viewing. |

| Pros |
Thought-provoking, interesting concept, variety of actors and actresses |
| Cons |
Some people may not get it |
| Bottom Line |
Donnie Darko made a marko on me. A man in a bunny suit, an alternative time-line, a variety of quirky characters, and mostly Jake Gyllenhaal make this movie one-of-a-kind. |

| Pros |
Dark, mysterious, confusing and intriguing. |
| Cons |
Almost none. |
| Bottom Line |
Stange, compelling and complex, this movie is not made to be understood, but to be discussed. |
