Editorial Review:
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

I won't pretend that this movie is as good as BLADERUNNER, which I believe it owes a lot to, but it is a very stylish blending of mystery, sci-fi, and horror. The acting by Sewell, Connelly, Sutherland, and Hurt is excellent. The pace is frantic. The sets are stunning, and the story is very enjoyable. The characterization, and color is also vastly improved in the director's cut version. Loved it.

The bluray directors cut comes with a second disc with a digital copy on it, as is becoming popular with many releases. The digital copy in this case is a restricted Windows Media Video, which is not Mac compatible, according to the included insert (ironically, the graphic directing you to insert the disc in your computer is a MacBook. go figure).

Even though the story was meant to keep you wondering what was really happening, I found it to be rather boring and complicated. Scenes with the bald guys recurred too often and were not interesting. There are some good special features. Director's cut offered considerably more content. For a movie which was supposed to be dark, the quality was good, but the scenery was bland.

In all of the reviews, someone must have made the connexion; but for those just now looking to buy this film in the Blu-ray edition, I should say a word or two.
First: the picture quality is excellent. The pictures look much more solid; and the sound is fantastic. If you have even a portion of the equipment, you can get much out of this movie. The "much" they provide.
But is it complex? Is the storyline a visionary enigma which baffles the viewer? Is there something deeper that we ... Read More

A brilliant movie made even better in Blu-Ray. A great Sci-fi story with wonderful performances by Rufus Sewell, William Hurt and Keifer Sutherland. Highly recommended.
