I would never watch that director's cut version. Try to get the mini series on DVD, it's an entirely different movie!
When I was a kid I watched the mini series on television (in Germany) and it was amazing!
After a couple of years I also watched the director's cut on TV and I was pretty much disappointed. They mostly took out the action scenes from the mini series and made them into a movie. You will lose all that 'real uboat life' feeling that was portrayed in the mini series including the famous 'Gammelfahrt'.
Also I heard that the movie is poorly translated into English, so, if you don't speak German you'll lose another bunch of atmosphere.
The translation of movies is always poor IMHO, so I watch them in their original language (if I can
).
Happy hunting!
