5.0 out of 5 stars Harsh Reception for a Good Film., 20 Jul 2009
Visually, S. Darko is stunning, all the more so for being a blu-ray disk. The wardrobe, setting & visual effects are all mind blowingly beautiful and recreate the atmosphere of the '90s.

Plot wise, unless you have a good understanding of physics and grasp the concept of time travel, it won't be nearly as easy to follow. Accessability is an issue, but that barrier is worth crossing. The characters of Samantha and Corey are believable and easy to empathize with. Allusions to "Donnie Darko" are artfully placed throughout the film.

In essence, this film lacks the raw turbulance present throughout "Donnie Darko". The morose and polished atmosphere Sam creates is not inferior, it suits her character. She & Corey are both acted very well indeed, as are Trudy, Iraq Jack... everyone.

Don't watch it for the sake of weighing it against "Donnie Darko". Appreciate the film for what it is, and don't make judgments until it is finished. "Donnie Darko" was one of a kind, but this is "S. Darko" and something special. The fact that this film differs from the prequel doesn't make it pretentious.

3.0 out of 5 stars A lack of courage, 9 Sep 2009
By DomTH (London) - See all my reviews
It's not a horrible film and certainly not as bad as it could be. Briana Evigan and Daveigh Chase are both very good, the movie, shot on Red 1 High Defintion cameras, looks beautiful on Blu-ray and even, at times, the storyline captures some of that dark dreamy quality of the first film.

But . . . the film never quite has the courage to break away from the original and stand on its own two feet. Every time it seems about to go in its own direction, it falls back on rehashing something from the first film - a handheld party sequence with lots of speed-ups to a piece of contemporary music is a prime example, referencing the sequence where Donnie walks into his school in the original film. It goes beyond referencing the previous film's visual motifs or even homage and just ends up being a rip-off.

I liked the idea that tangent universes are happening all the time and that Donnie Darko was just one of many such incidents. In the case of this film, there appear to be tangents within tangents and there's one really unexpected loop/divergence in the timeline I didn't see coming.

A Darko movie where the main character is one step removed from the Living Receiver - Donnie's role in the first film - and looking on with a certain amount of ignorance is an intriguing one. But, whether it was a fear of upsetting the original film's fans - don't worry, they're upset anyway! - or a lack of creativity meaning they didn't add anything much to the original, the film simply falls flat.

I don't regret taking the time to see the film and I don't hate it. More than anything, I think it really did have potential, but blew it.

I rented the film and wouldn't recommend buying unless it's in a sale.

1.0 out of 5 stars :(, 19 Jul 2009
By Dan (UK) - See all my reviews
In places this film really looks the part. Nice setting, pretty hippy chicks and the blu ray looks good. Unfortunately most of it resembles one of those American true movies. A rather cheap, shallow, shadow of a great movie with some awful wooden fake mystical or cool conversations and the geek has glasses and the bad guy has a car type characters.
I have a little bit of hatred for this film. I knew it was going to be rubbish, but I had a level of curiosity and love for the original that I knew I was going to watch it anyway. I knew I was going to be disappointed and watch a film that takes a huge wiz over the grave of a classic movie. S. Darko managed to tick all the wrong boxes.

s.Darko is a strange film to sum up. It's no where near as bad as I thought it would be and yet, it's probably best described as a beautiful failure. Read more
