Below I will post a link to a pge with Mega-Super-Ultra Spoilers. If you have not seen the theatrical version yet, I BEG OF YOU do not click the link below until you have seen it. That said, the link will provide what I think is a fair review of the Director's Cut DVD and a pretty detailed description of what's different (although I think it's much more substantial to see it than it looks on paper).
Before I post this link, however, I will quote a paragraph from the page that is safe for even those who have not seen either version to read:
Quote:
Having said that, I'm glad I experienced this new director's cut, in the spirit that its director has intended it. Kelly, in his commentary, refers to the new cut as "an extended remix," not as any sort of preferred cut. In fact, he admits that the theatrical cut is his preferred cut. This is an alternate Donnie Darko for those who require further clues about the film's mystery—and there's nothing wrong with admitting that you need those clues. As I've said, the original version is inscrutable without supplemental information. Indeed, the film's official Web site contains a lot of the information that appears in this cut. What this director's cut provides, finally, is all that information within the film, where, some may argue, it actually belongs. I don't necessarily agree, but Donnie Darko remains a fun, oddball ride in either incarnation.

And, without further ado, the link ( BUT ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE THEATRICAL VERSION!!!):
