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. Befitting a film of such ambition, the DVD includes a feast of bonus features, including audio commentaries by the director, producer, writers, and cinematographer, and also by film critic Roger Ebert, who named Dark City one of the best films of 1998. Also included is an isolated music track, an interactive game, and a photo gallery of production stills and set design sketches. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Dark City (New Line Platinum Series)

cool alternate reality/alien sci-fi
I view this movie as a classic. It is one of those that not everyone has heard of.


INTERESTING AND ATMOSPHEREIC AND OF COURSE.....DARK!
This is a very cool film. A dreamlike movie with it's story of amnesia and surreal set design. It can get a bit confusing at times, but I thought it was a very bold attempt that succeeds on many levels. The DVD is excellent with some great extras and a good DVD transfer. Please don't call me a F***ing Tool for not giving it 5 stars!....LOL!;-b (someone did this in a comment).....too mucking fuchh! ;-)


More than just Film Noir
This was one of the first DVD's I ever purchased, and it is still one of my favorites. <
> <
>I went to see Dark City because the trailers sold it as a film noir with stunning visuals. It delivered on the noir, the visuals, and so much more. This is one of the best movies to see completly unaware, with as little knowledge as possible, because it will blow your mind. <
> <
>It is the story of a man(Rufus Sewell) who awakens at the scene of a murder, with blood on his hands and no memory of how he got there. Within moments mysterious men in long coats are pursuing him, a detective(William Hurt) is researching his history, and his beautiful wife(Jennifer Connelly) is sining in a night club. Mixed within all this is Keifer Sutherland as a doctor who may or may not be on the side of the angels. <
> <
>Alex Proyas, after directing the hypnotic comic-book thriller The Crow, moves on to free territory by divesting himself of a source. Free to create as he pleases, he concieves a film that references such varied sources as Fritz Lang's M and Metropolis and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. The city itself is one of the most fully realized of all fictional cities, taking shape as a character as important as any of the humans. <
> <
>The DVD itself, although one of the first released, features excellent bonus material, including a commentary by Roger Ebert that functions as a primer in the rich tradition of film history that is being referenced and built upon. <
> <
>If you love cinema that makes you think, pulls the rug out from under your feet, has amazing visuals and a compelling story, look no further. Dark City combines the best of detective noir with a journey to the heart of what makes a man, within a framework that has just enough science fiction to take it beyond our normal experience.
