I highly recommend you watch the Alternate (non-Theatrical) ending first, which is far superior to the Theatrical ending. I can't remember the last time I saw such a small change affect the overall quality a movie so much. The spoiler below doesn't give away the ending, but hints at it, so don't read it if you want to go in fresh.

Spoiler: Neither ending will win awards for logic or tie all the loose ends you might want, but the Theatrical cut is ludicrous and lacking in emotion. The new ending at least hints at the themes of the original novel, and left me at least thoughtful INSTEAD of how I felt at the end of Kevin Costner's "The Postman". (apologies to survivors of that experience for scrounging up the memory again)
