I do find the American version's end much more climatic musically and story-wise with Jon Anderson (singer of Yes)'s angelic voice thundering with Tangerine Dream's score in the background. The Non-American version has a story which is much fuller, and the music (with a full symphony orchestra) is much better and adds more drama and punctuates the mood of each scene more properly. Fortunately, I've seen the way it was SUPPOSED to have been released in the States (which you can find on the 2-disc DVD, which has both versions). It could have been great, but (well, you fill in the blank).
I do have to say that the American Version with Tangerine Dream's soundtrack only makes this movie into a "Cult" film. You hear a song, you get visual images in your head and make a movie of your own. As a huge fan of Tangerine Dream and Jon Anderson, I praise the fact that their music is in the "American" cut of this film their music has always sounded like they were trying to do soundtracks to a movie.
