Trivia:
Water is a central element of time travel per Darko lore. Randy's red car is homage to Frank's red car from Donnie Darko (2001). The painting in the church depicts an airplane with a missing engine, is another homage to Donnie Darko (2001). But the painting was not created for the film, it already existed. more

Revealing mistakes: At the end of the movie, when they are examining the meteor crash site, Officer O'Dell picks up Iraq Jacks' dog tags with no damage to them. The meteor would have at least left some burn marks on the tags. more

I was honestly shocked that this film was actually worse than I was expecting it to be. It really seems like the writer and director got hired for the job, watched about half of the first film before they got bored, and then set off to make something roughly similar. Awful dialogue, careless (and painfully obvious) anachronisms, and some jaw-droppingly bad CG effects. I'd be willing to bet they had more money to make this than Richard Kelly had to work with on the original, and none of it's up on the screen. Maybe it cost them a lot of money to license "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" by Whale.

*cough* Anyway, as far as cash-grab sequels go this has to be one of the all-time worst. A suggestion: tape an episode of "One Tree Hill" or "Gossip Girl," then put on some red-and-blue 3D glasses, and pretend one of the cast members is saying stuff like "Remember the future" and "My farts taste like cherries." Then watch the show on rewind for about twenty minutes and do it all over again. Repeat for 102 minutes total, and you've had roughly the same experience. Utterly shameful.
