Wow.
I loved Donnie Darko, and the Director's Cut was every bit equally as amazing.
There are enough significant changes to the point where I can't simply say one is better than the other the way one can with most Director's Cuts. I liken it to Blade Runner. The theatrical version is great, and the Director's Cut is also great, but they are two different movie-watching experiences. It is the same with Donnie Darko. The theatrical version is sort of like the Director's Cut of Blade Runner in that it involves a lot more self-analyzing and thought, whereas the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko is a lot like the theatrical version of Blade Runner since it does a lot more guiding of the viewer to help explain what's going on.
I give this movie an EASY 5/5
