Most of it is good, I like films that challenge my perception of reality, as well as ones that drop loads of little clues that all link together at the end. You say the ending is different to how I understood it. Could you clear that up for me? I saw it as this: Donny's girlfriend gets hit by a car, he thinks he'd rather die to save her than live with her death, and she was only in the path of the car because she had come with him, so he takes the time ship/aircraft engine and smashes it into his bedroom, killing both his past and future self. We see his girfriend before she was his girlfriend, and some kid asks if she knew Donny. She says no. She has been saved. Can you point out the errors in that?

It's not so much that there are errors in that. Like WoF said, it's a bit more abstract, though. The engine was the source of all the problems. It was displaced from it's own time, and if events were not set in motion the way they were, the universe would have torn itself apart.
It sounds really cheesy when you talk about the actual plot. That's why I have to stress that the plot is secondary to the way that the people interact with each other.
