Dark City (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

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".

Look for my copy to turn up soon, cheap.

If you're an adult, best to skip this excersize in stupidity.

Try to spot the changes.. I needed to listen to the commentary for that one. Also, great movie only greater on the Blu!

The Good Things
*The Blu-Ray has excellent video quality; easily one of the best transfers ever. The movie is much more colorful than I remember. Very clear, crisp picture. No grain. Even though most of the movie is dark, it looks phenomenally great. The sound quality is great too.
*Includes both the theatrical cut and director's cut of the movie. Also has a bunch of special features, some of which came from the older DVD release (essays and notes), and others that are brand new (documentaries, new commentaries, and some other stuff). All of this is on disc one; disc two is a digital copy.
*The movie itself has some good action and special effects. Moreover, it has a very slick and interesting tech-noir style and production design (overall, it's like a retro version of "Blade Runner").
*The story is interesting. It didn't make total sense when I first saw it years ago, but repeated viewings make things clearer.
*Characters are not bad. Has a good cast.
*Pretty good writing; some memorable lines.

The Bad Things
*As said above, storyline may be hard to get on first viewing.
*Kind of slow at parts (but if you like the style, it'll be interesting all the way through).

The movie was a pleseant surprise when I saw its former DVD release years ago; it was stylish and had some great action and special effects (especially during the movie's finale). Repeated viewings have been even more interesting. The Blu-Ray is most worthwhile, for both its video quality and its array of special features. Definitely reccomended to sci-fi fans.

This was a blind buy for me. I read a lot about this movie and it seemed like the type of movie I would enjoy (I love Blade Runner and The Matrix). I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and am glad I purchased it.

PQ and AQ are great. You will need to see this movie in a dark room so you can see all the details of the great set.

This is a fantastic movie. If you already own the original, it's not worth getting this disc. It's got the usual fill-in-the details bits, but nothing earth shattering.

That said, if you haven't seen the movie, definitely watch it! One of the best Sci-Fi out there...
