Whats different about the Imax Version of Apollo 13 besides its AR?

[Downhome 0]

From IMDB:

 

The remastered IMAX version of the film is about twenty minutes shorter in running time than the origial theatrical version. Some of the missing scenes are the dinner that the astronauts have aboard the ship that results in Bill Paxton being sick into a plastic bag, and Cathleen Quinlan telling the off the press.

Why is Kevin Smith doing commentary for the Donnie Darko director's cut?

According to the commentary Richard Kelly says that Kevin Smith is a good friend of his and is there to avoid long moments of silence and to be able to comment on the on comic book narrative installed in the director's cut. He also asks Kelly questions about the film.
