Amazon.com:
If you're a fan of brooding comic-book antiheroes, got a nihilistic jolt from The Crow (1994), and share director Alex Proyas's highly developed preoccupation for style over substance, you might be tempted to call Dark City an instant classic of visual imagination. It's one of those films that exists in a world purely of its own making, setting its own rules and playing by them fairly, so that even its derivative elements (and there are quite a few) acquire their own specific uniqueness. Before long, however, the film becomes interesting only as a triumph of production design. And while that's certainly enough to grab your attention (Blade Runner is considered a classic, after all), it's painfully clear that Dark City has precious little heart and soul. One-dimensional characters are no match for the film's abundance of retro-futuristic style, so it's best to admire the latter on its own splendidly cinematic terms. Trivia buffs will be interested to know that the film's 50-plus sets (partially inspired by German expressionism) were built at the Fox Film Studios in Sydney, Australia, home base of director Alex Proyas and producer Andrew Mason. The underground world depicted in the film required the largest indoor set ever built in Australia. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Awesome Movie!
I watched this movie about six years ago and loved it. I was excited to see it come out in Blu-ray and quickly jumped on it.
Rating:  - Great Movie but....
I really enjoyed this movie. The story was different and if you like the supernatural then you should enjoy this movie. They do speak in whispers through out the movie so you might have to turn up the sound. But otherwise the sound quality is good. My only really problem is the digital copy. If you have a Mac you can't download the digital copy of the movie. Also the digital copy is in standard definition. Ok this is one of those movies that is a cult type movie with its cult following but Guys ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic Movie Gets Amazing Director's Cut and AAA HiDef Presentation
Dark City has always been in my top five favorite movies ever since I saw it in the theater. Between the theater, VHS, and DVD, I have probably seen this movie 25-30 times. Now, with the release of the Director's Cut on Blu-Ray, I am sure I will be watching it many more times.
The D.C. has many new pieces that add to the puzzle of the storyline. Also, the removal of the intro voice over is a welcomed change. Top that off with a crisp HD transfer, with deep blacks and vivid colors, and ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
The movie was released in 1998 under the title of Dark City, starring Rufus Sewell as a man who awoke one morning in a bathtub with no recollection of his past, or why there was a brutally murdered prostitute in his hotel room. All the evidence that he can compile from the situation points to him as the culprit of the ghastly crime. Once dressed he receives a call from an individual named Dr. Daniel Schreber who tells him "they are coming for you" and that he must flee the hotel as soon as possible. ... Read More
Rating:  - AWFULL: Mortal Combat meets Crouching Tiger
I'd add "meets 28 Days Later" to the title, but that would be an insult to 28 days.
Wow. I can't believe this movie got so many rave reviews. Maybe it would be useful if the reviews included the reviewers age.
To even mention Blade Runner in context with this movie is a joke.
We both fell asleep, twice!
They don't make movies like they used to, thats for sure.
I wish I too could fight evil by pointing my forehead and issuing a "shockwave". ... Read More
