## Description

I WANT YOU TO WATCH THE MOVIE SCREEN. THERE’S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU. Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science-fiction, Spielberg-ian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template – and the high-water mark – with his debut feature, Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Donnie is a troubled high school student: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days 06 hours 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank’s maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum. Described by its director as “The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick”, Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast – pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katherine Ross, and television favourite Noah Wyle – and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. This brand-new 4K restoration, carried out exclusively for this release by Arrow Films, allows a modern classic to finally receive the home video treatment it deserves. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS

Review: The 4K Disc is worth it! - I’m a big fan of the directors cut as it has more content and better music than the theatrical release. They did an amazing job remastering this movie in 4k plus while only in DTS-HD 5.1, the sound quality and picture quality is phenomenal. This is definitely a catalog movie worthy of your collection!! In short, The Donnie Darko disc looks and sounds amazing because the restoration, encoding, and lossless delivery was done right! Even without object-based Atmos or DTS:X, it gives you a reference-quality experience that streaming can’t match.
Review: Arrow Video 4K UHD 2-Disc Limited Edition Collector's Set - Donnie Darko is one my favorite movies and I owned the standard DVD edition, and then the special edition with Director's cut and also the Blu-ray edition with both versions (Theatrical/Director's cut). I watched the movie countless times since its release 20 years ago. Time flies (as told us by the ending lines of Head Over Heals). I think this is a very good 4K scan of the movie. It's definitely the best that the movie has ever looked (and I think it will be the best the movie will ever look, unless Criterion gets the copyrights and does some magic but I honestly think Arrow Video did a fantastic job). The movie is not crystal clear as some other blu-ray/4K movies but I think this is simply due to the way the movie was shot. The grains are just inherent artifacts of the movie and cannot be cleaned up (and neither should they be). So yes, there is grain but it's just natural and doesn't ruin the visual. I think Arrow Video made the right decision; while keeping the grain, they just enhanced the colors so they look much better (with HDR technology). I don't have any complaints about the video quality. I also appreciate the fact that Arrow Video treated both versions (theatrical and director's cut) to 4K UHD. As for audio, I am not sure why they didn't add Dolby Atmos. Maybe it's not possible to create/add dolby atmos audio to old some movies? I know some old movies released with dolby atmos so I am not sure why they didn't do with Donnie Darko. With the ominous sounds of thunder, the stormy skies, jet engine falling on top of the house, dolby atmos could really enhance the aural experience. The product comes in a nice, sturdy box, a 2-side poster (I will add the picture soon), and a 100 page hard-cover booklet with info, articles, interviews about the film, and photos from the movie. One thing I noticed that in the opening of the booklet, there is a section for the cast and Jena Malone's name is conspiciously missing from the cast. They listed the name of the actor who portrays the oblique "police man" character but the name of the actress who portrays Gretchen Ross, an important character in the movie is not listed in the cast. I thought that was weird. On other thing is the discs have no identifying info on them, both disc say "A film by Richard Kelly - Donnie Darko" but it doesn't say which one is Theatrical release and which is Director's cut. It doesn't also say disc 1. or disc 2. They were properly placed in the case but if you take them out and don't them back in the same order, you won't know which disc is the theatrical version and which disc is director's cut.
