Why would anyone want to see it? I saw no room (and definitely no need) for sequel-isation in Donnie Darko (other than the fact that it made some money on DVD). Why the **** bother making some piece of shit straight to DVD sequel anyway?

I disagree that it ended perfectly. I wanted a more complex/broader understanding of how the multi-verse functioned and the "powers" of the individual could be used. From my perspective, there was no reason he had to die. In fact, he could have, in my opinion, been show to experience the event/s in many different ways until arriving at the best possible outcome. Now, you may say that since I think that, I am totally missing the point of the ending or I am bastardizing the entire ending with too much realism. Cool, and I agree, to a certain extent, that I would be destroying a nice work of art. I thought the film was wonderful. I just wanted a tad more out of the ending.

Dude, see i think the whole point of Darko dying was very important. I can dig that, maybe you didnt like his decision Darko made but i look at it like this. Fate made a mistake when Darko didn't die that night and in effort for the universe to correct itself, Darko was given a choice from fate by Frank (the embodiment of fate) to either change what is written or correct the mistake. That's how i look at it. I'm not sure if that's what was being conveyed, though

He didn't have to die. No one had to die. Based on how those universes worked, not a single person in the film had to die because he knew the "future." Now, had they film conveyed an infinite loop of inevitable deaths occurring because he didn't die, then it would be a tad more satisfactory for me; however, still not quite because there is still a universe out that that no one dies. It's just that...few people get a "multiverse" right in Hollywood. It kind of f***s with the "plot" they are trying to write. They should be more intelligent and make the multiverse work for them instead of against them.
Does Richard Kelly even have anything to do with this? And even if he does, is his career still viable after Southland Tales? Not even Kevin Smith could save that movie.
