SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!
Here's how I decipher the enigmatic narrative:
The vortex depicted in the film serves as a gateway to a parallel universe, a notion that captivates me with its boundless possibilities. The engine crashing onto Donnie's house isn't merely a random event; rather, it's a catalyst from the tangent universe, a temporal anomaly lasting a mere 28 days.
The mechanics of time in parallel universes are left deliberately ambiguous, adding to the film's mystique. Donnie, designated as the 'living receiver,' possesses a unique ability to traverse between the primary and tangent universes. Whether through innate sensitivity or subconscious wanderings during his sleepwalking episodes, Donnie becomes a conduit between these worlds. It's through this connection that he gains insight into the events unfolding in the tangent universe, ultimately opting to sacrifice himself in the primary universe to avert the tragic fate looming in the alternate reality.
In a twist of cosmic irony, the engine's descent, originating from his mother and sister's plane, symbolizes the opening of the portal for Donnie—an unexpected and poignant revelation.
In my eyes, 'Donnie Darko' stands as a testament to cinematic brilliance, its narrative complexities and thematic depth transcending the confines of time. With each viewing, it continues to intrigue and inspire, solidifying its status as a true classic.
There are 20 deleted or extended included in this DVD, but each on has to be played separately (no 'Play All' feature) and you must select commentary on/off for each one of them. This is not the best arrangement for a deleted/extended scenes section. The actual content of this section is pretty decent with most of the scenes having the possibility of really having added something to the story and most could've made the film had the director not had to cut the film down to 2 hours from the original rough cut of about 2 and half hours it originally had.
There are two commentaries on the DVD, one with the Richard Kelly (writer/director) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie) and another with Richard Kelly, two producers (Nancy Juvonen and Sean McKittrick) and several cast members: Holmes Osborne (Eddie, Donnie's Dad), Mary McDonnell (Rose, Donnie's Mom), Jimmy Duval (Frank), Beth Grant (Kitty Farmer, Donnie's Health Teacher), Drew Barrymore (Karen Pomeroy, Donnie's English Teacher), Katharine Ross (Dr. Thurman, Donnie's Therapist), and Jena Malone (Gretchen, Donnie's Girlfriend). First, the sound quality of the commentaries is below what one has to come to expect on commentaries. You can hear the commentary track fine, but the track of the movie itself is all but silent during the time in which the cast or crew is speaking, almost shut off which is a turn to many people (but you can put on closed caption, although that can often distract you from the commentary if you are reading it), and it is back to full regular volume when their is no active commentary. My only complaint on the second commentary is that Drew Barrymore often `hogs' the commentary and was way to close to the microphone (which only accented her shrill voice on this commentary) during the recording of the commentary, she tried to hard to be `deep' in her comments way too often and it gets annoying at times. Many of the tidbits and insights provided in both tracks are interesting and above par with many other movie commentaries, but by no means exceptional. It is fun listening to what Kelly and the others have to say and then watching the movie looking for these things on your own, but don't only watch the film looking for hints that the director left for the audience and nothing else; this takes away too much from the film, so don't do that.
The theatrical trailer is above average and can be appreciated by both those that have already seen the film and those than haven't. The several TV spots, all 30 seconds or less, are largely repetitious.
The cast & crew information section is above average listing all of the actors' other films through late 2002 (most DVDs list only some films and are not current beyond the movie on the DVD). There is a total of nine crew bios (as opposed to a simple list of past work) including Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick, Nancy Juvonen, Steve Poster (director of photography), Alexander Hammond (production designer), April Ferry (costume designer), Eric Strand (editor), Sam Bauer (editor), and Michael Andrews (composer).
The `Mad World' music video is OUTSTANDING, and I have seen it many, many times already. It is quite addicting, and even if I close my eyes and just listen to it, it is still great.
The `Website Gallery' is very hard to see and is not anything special and does not add anything to the DVD. What is shown is really a sampling of what the website has to offer, which is somewhat hard to navigate but during the cast and crew commentary they give you the three passwords for levels one, two and three if you listen closely.
The `Soundtrack' feature provides interesting linear notes, but is not an isolated soundtrack of the movie (which is really the score of the movie with the lone exception the `Mad World' Tears for Fears songs covered so eerily by Gary Jules for the movie).
The `Cunning Visions' section features the infomercials from in the movie with optional directors commentary). There is also a `His Name is Frank' section that is a fun little feature of several place cards that are designed like those featured in the Cunning Visions `exercise' in Donnie's health class and shown during Jim Cunningham's assembly. You can also look at the book covers used for Jim Cunningham's two books feature as background material during his assembly at the school.
`The Philosophy of Time Travel' book feature is disappointing showing only several pages (including the appendices featured in the film) and all the pages are hard to see.
The `Art Gallery section' is neat with a bunch of artwork that inspired works in the film and some of which was used directly in the film. The production stills are plentiful and interesting.
The `Scene Selection' feature is as good as any other DVD with moving images as opposed to stills to mark each chapter, and there are a total of 28; good for a 2 hour movie.
Overall, I enjoyed this DVD especially the `Mad World' music video and the two commentaries as I personally enjoy the opportunity to see the entire movie a different way when I can and the commentary tracks give me this opportunity.

Waar ik wel dik ontevreden over ben is de absurd slechte kwaliteit hoe de film op de 4K schijf is gezet. Volgens mij hebben ze niets aan de film gerestaureerd, maar hebben ze een simpele slechte upscaling gedaan waarbij de HDR de film extreem donker maakt, waardoor de film in donkere stukken amper te volgen is en waarbij het in helder fel daglicht wel lijkt alsof de avond net is gevallen. Ook het geluid is niet om over naar huis te schrijven. Voor een box van meer dan 50 euro mag je toch wel verwachten dat de film er eerste klas op staat. Ik stuur de box niet terug omdat de verpakking te mooi is, maar ik zal de film uit deze box nooit meer kijken, ik zet de gewone Blu-ray wel op.

Editado: he leído una opinión de una persona que dice que no incluye audio en castellano, que solo los subtítulos, pues no hagáis caso, la película incluye audio en perfecto castellano, lo que pasa es que hay escenas añadidas (incluidas en esta edición al ser la versión del director) que no llegaron a traducirse, tipo Alien 3 (ya que en España solo se publicó la versión de cine), por lo que están en inglés subtitulado al castellano, pero la película SI está en castellano, tanto audio como subtítulos.

*La película en su versión original de cine remasterizada, con excelente calidad de imagen y sonido. Se incluye tanto en blu-ray como en dvd.
*La película en su versión extendida, con una duración adicional de aproximadamente 20 minutos, nuevamente remasterizada, de igual manera se incluye en blu-ray y dvd.
*Carta Roberta Sparrow que incluye postales con arte de la película
*Poster de la película en tamaño grande (doblado, se incluye dentro de la caja)
*Mini-libro con información de la película, comentarios de los actores y del director
Todo empacado en una muy bonita caja de material duro que incluye tres paquetes (uno para la edición del cine, otro para la edición extendida y otro del libro). IMPORTANTE: esta edición no incluye subtitulo en español, solamente en inglés por lo que si buscas adquirirla toma eso en consideración, adicionalmente te recomiendo tener cuidado al sacar los discos de la caja ya que está un poco complicado y podrías dañar el empaque.
La edición está creada para los fans del film, si es de tus película favoritas o eres fan de la misma, no dudes en adquirirla, no te arrepentirás.

DONNIE DARKO è Un Film Misterioso, Quanto Assolutamente Magico ed Affascinante.
