Plot: Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a bright and charming high-school student who also has a dark and willfully eccentric side; he does little to mask his contempt for many of his peers and enjoys challenging the authority of the adults around him. Donnie is also visited on occasion by Frank, a monstrous six-foot rabbit that only Donnie can see who often urges him to perform dangerous and destructive pranks. Late one night, Frank leads Donnie out of his home to inform him that the world will come to an end in less than a month; moments later, the engine of a jet aircraft comes crashing through the ceiling of Donnie's room, making him think there might be something to Frank's prophesies after all. The rest of Donnie's world is only marginally less bizarre, as he finds himself dealing with his confused parents (Mary McDonnell and Holmes Osborne), his college-age sister (Maggie Gyllenhaal), his perplexed analyst (Katherine Ross), a rebellious English teacher (Drew Barrymore), a sleazy self-help expert (Patrick Swayze), and the new girl at school who is attracted by Donnie's quirks (Jena Malone). Donnie Darko was the first feature film from writer and director Richard Kelly; Drew Barrymore, who plays teacher Karen Pomeroy, also lent her support to the project as executive producer. A director's cut played in select theaters on a limited basis in the summer of 2004, featuring original music cues and trimmed scenes originally in Kelly's first cut of the film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Simply amazed!

I thought that maybe something was wrong with it because it was Blue Ray and cheaper than the non-blue ray but it was even better. Loved it!

Donnie Darko not great on blu-ray
Added 2/6/2010
This is one of my favorite films of all time, and when i heard it was on blu-ray, i couldn't wait to get it. after viewing it last night, i realized that this is just a straight transfer from the original DVD. So, if you are looking for that eye-popping detail, you won't see it here. just stick to your DVD that is already in your collection.

Donnie Darko directors cut

I just love this movie. The movie is mysterious and the directors cut explains what's doing on just a little more.

Darko on Blu-ray

I have to admit picture quality is not the best for BD standards but who cares, this movie is great and I love all the topics (time travel, tangent universe, CellarDoor, deus ex machina, etc). The main difference from the DVD version is that you have the Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut on a single disc, that's all. If you already have DD on DVD don't buy the BD. The extra material is just okay, no more no less.

Btw, that guy from the "darkomentary" is a total freak!
