Region 4 Winners and Losers

     The Region A 20th Century Fox United States Blu-ray release of Donnie Darko has both versions of the film on one Blu-ray disc, and this is not seamlessly branched, so the bitrate for both cuts is lower than what it should be for an average Blu-ray release. The extras for this release are included on a second DVD disc and they only include the They Made Me Do It Too: The Cult of Donnie Darko featurette (28:02), #1 Fan: A Darkomentary featurette (13:16), Storyboard to Screen Comparisons featurette (7:57) and the Theatrical trailer.

     The Region ALL United Kingdom Metrodome Blu-ray release is identical to the Anchor Bay Region B Australian release of the film with extras that aren't on the US release such as the 20 Deleted And Extended Scenes (31:50), B-Roll Footage (4:37), Cast And Crew Interviews (15:16), They Made Me Do It featurette (4:48), They Made Me Do It Artwork Gallery (3:11), Cunning Visions Infomercials (5:42), The Theatrical Trailer, 5 TV Spots and the textual featurette, The Philosophy of Time Travel (3:11).

     I would recommend the United Kingdom Region ALL or Australian Region B versions of Donnie Darko on Blu-ray over the Region A United States Blu-ray release.
