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

DVD Review: Not quite a classic, but still a VERY good sci-fi movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Very cool sci-fi-noir flick from 1998, where humans are the rats in some weird experiment. Hadn't seen this one in quite a while, and was glad to see that it still held up to multiple viewings. And I love the look of this film, which comes across great on Blu-Ray.

DVD Review: Shell Beach
Summary: 4 Stars

I saw this in it's orignal version some time back. Didn't really catch on to it, was confused basically. Just watched the directors cut...and now I'm a beleiver. Second time around I had an idea of what this deal was about..and it made all the difference. I like entering a "different world" in a film, and this one does a very convincing job. Some magnificent sets, with moody lighting. Good actors, intriguing story. Looking forward to another re-watch in the future.

DVD Review: A Blu-Ray review
Summary: 5 Stars

I can see that there are very little reviews of the blu-ray and more of the old standard DVD edition from late 90's. But I love the new director's cut that was released for the blu-ray system it give a more thrilling and more mystirious look. The narration in the original was taken out in the director's cut because it gave to much away too quickly and the first 1-1&1/2 minute of the film was put at a later time in the film so that when you see the character wake up in the beginning you are in the dark (no pun intended) with him as well. The HD quality is perfect and ther 7.1 audio is amazing both restored to perfection. I will not give more of the story away cause some might have not seen the DC version and everyone hate a spoiler. But I will say that the Blu-ray disc is worth getting and i promises that once you see the DC version you will not see the original again even though the original was good.

DVD Review: A classic film gets it's due!
Summary: 5 Stars

The movie was amazing when it came out and the transfer was spectacular! I owned this on DVD earlier and it simply couldn't take advantage of my sound system the way this version does on BR. A must purchase for fans of the dark sci-fi type genres...

DVD Review: Wierd but fascinating as well
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a strange movie that blends sci-fi with Salvador Dali atmoshere. It draws the viewer in as it builds to it's strange climax. Seeing it in Blu-Ray DVD recorded in 7.1 surround sound is a trip. The detail and audio experience together on our 50" Samsung plasma 1080p HDTV run through our Onkyo HT-S7100 7.1 surround sound system is totally immersive into a surreal world. Bizarre but throughly enjoyable.

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

The critically-acclaimed triumph from visionary director Alex Proyas (I, Robot, The Crow) is back with a brand new directors cut featuring enhanced picture and sound, never-before-seen footage and three commentary tracks that take you deeper than ever before into the world of one of sci-fis most exciting and revered tales. When John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes with no memory at the scene of a grisly murder, he soon finds himself hunted by the police, a woman claiming to be his wife and a mysterious group of pale men who seem to control everything and everyone in the city. Starring Rufus Sewell (The Illusionist), Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), William Hurt (A History of Violence) and Kiefer Sutherland (TVs 24).
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
