:thumbsdown:

I liked a few moments in this movie, but it seemed so silly that my usually enormous suspension of disbelief couldn't cover up all of it.

I thought this looked cool, but have heard terrible things.

What's so bad about it?

besides the standard time travel paradox that makes the ending make no sense there is no explanation or reason why going inside that drawer would ever send you into the future. even if it was weak, any explanation as to why any of that was happening would have made the movie better imo.

i really liked this movie. it teaches Donnie Darko the lesson that you CAN make a movie about time travel

I absolutely loved this movie. Have you ever heard of the chambers that people put themselves in where they float in water in complete darkness for days at a time? I cannot think of the technical term, but I believe this was a similar concept. The mind is the portal for time travel. Not the body.
