desipite being a bit of a bi-polar film in terms of voice and animation (example being the awkward and a bit unnecessary mix of CGI and traditional animation that serves to date the film), its still comes out as a fine work of art
I tried not to be too prejudicial or harsh on this film, but yeah, this film falls waaaay too flat. It has all of the style, but none of the substance of the original film, coming off as a fan-film by a starrey-eyed ametuer who has all the admiration, but none of the understanding of richard kelley's work. I can admit, that there were some parts that I found good, and the soundtrack is great, but ulitmately, the film could have used some originality by just ditching entirely the time travel and rabbit and Donnie Darko copies, and making Samantha her own character instaed of just a pale copy of her brother. Or just creating new and original characters. Or having characters with ANY sort of redeeming interest at all. Or by just not making the film period. This film is bascily a dime-store rush-produced empy copy of the original, nothing more.
