Bravo, Mr. Proyas! Though your masterpiece may, on its stunningly beautiful surface, appear to be a somewhat trashy mixture of sci-fi, noir and serial killer thriller, it's so much more than these things. It's film history's best take on the classic myth of The Chosen One. John Murdoch must save his world by confronting aliens who function as malevolent demiurges, in both the Platonic and Gnostic meanings of the word. Lubricated by Jones' epic score, 'Dark City' fucked our minds, late-90s-style.

Tough it has its plot flaws and wrong turns, Dark City is unique in its atmosphere. Gives a new meaning to neo-noir. If the movie had been able to stay away from matter of fact action sequences at the end and have the courage to take the "non-human look at humanity" route it would have been ground breaking. Kiefer, Jennifer, Proyas at their best.

How this one got past me in the nineties I do not understand. Proyas has created a small and claustrophobic masterpiece about a man who wakes up with no memory, and then we follow him on his quest to get it back and uncover the mysteries of Dark City, where the sun never seems to rise... To reveal more, would be a shame, instead I recommend this one to everyone who likes a dark mysterious thriller the way that they were made at the end of the millennium. Cause they dont make em like that anymore

A real treat for the eye; this contains some of the most memorable imagery in any movie I've seen. The City itself is an absolutely amazing setting, intimidating, mechanical, gothic. The themes are excellent, a truly interesting examination of what it is to be human, and it's supported by an exceptionally well-done science-fiction plot.

A personal favorite. It's such a mysterious, intriguing film I can't take my eyes off it. Sewell, Hurt, and even Sutherland all do great jobs, and the direction is top-notch. The director's cut is even stronger, too. It's like a film noir/sci-fi blend that keeps you wondering just how it's all going to turn out. And a fantastic conclusion tops it all off.

Massively divisive. Either you can let the oddities slide, or they can jolt you completely. I found it hugely worthwhile as it teases you with noir tropes, only to realise that those are the world of illusion in the fiction as well. It works on the film aesthetics level, the same way If On A Winter's Night A Traveller does for literature.

Choose the director's cut over the theatrical. A fascinating meditation on what creates personality, though in the end, the conversations you have with the people you watched the movie with may be more important than the movie itself. The film is also beautiful to watch. The ending battle could have been less kitschy, but everything else is near perfect.

Really cool. Loved the vibe, loved the energy that this movie constantly gave off. It's at one time philosophical and visually endearing to look at. It might go on a few minutes longer than it should and some of its plot is more convoluted than a Blade Runner, for instance, but still a memorable movie of this style.

This movie could have been a masterpiece but fell short of the mark. The unique and creative premise, deep themes and sci-fi noir visual style were by far its biggest strengths. Unfortunately the plot itself felt somewhat half-baked and incomplete, almost as if they had no idea which direction to take it, the acting was uniformly awful especially from Kiefer, and the ending was cheesy as hell and almost ruined the film. It's definitely good enough for a watch, but could have been so much better.

Dark City creates a moody twilight world where aliens of a dying race bend time, space and memory at will to discover what makes us human. It's a noir influenced sci-fi about the nature of personal identity, but its philosophical points are more evocative than probing; they set the stage for a thrilling race against time that's visceral rather than explorative. The action is silly, but the production design is an expressionist's wet dream. It's a smart budget blockbuster that's a hell of a ride.

An interesting story-driven movie with a clever reason for the lack of character behind the characters, and the sci-fi noir Gothic style throughout is really nifty (though I wish the music score could match it, rather than be generic on-the-run orchestra music) and there's a few visual effects shots that really blew me away, despite this being released a reasonably long time ago. But, damn, there are some silly-as-fuck moments in here to ruin the mood, and the action sucks.

Not as creative or original as it's legacy suggests, even when you ignore the Matrix comparisons. Its beautiful effects blended with a not-so-beautiful tone results in what looks like the careful craft of 80's Gilliam drenched by the ugly downpour of 90's edginess.

I enjoyed the noir aesthetic of the city scenes and found the concept behind it interesting, however, I could not enjoy the film due to the way in which both the concept and the important plot twist are dealt with so briefly (the concept does not seem to be dealt with at all, really). This, the ridiculous nature of the villains, which made me feel pained whenever they were on the screen, and the dodgy, tacky aesthetic of The Strangers' world sadly made it impossible for me to enjoy this film.

Worst role ever for Kiefer Sutherland. Rufus Sewell did not satisfy. Jennifer Connelly was gorgeous. William Hurt was excellent. A suitably weird, but sometimes stupid, plot was dark and often interesting. The action and strangeness makes up for the many potholes in the story. Aliens were poorly dressed humans and some bad SFX. Clever to have an entire city be a laboratory experiment in an alien world, but the script was overall a bit cheap and underdeveloped. Mostly good music. Worth watching.

Very stylish but flawed in places. Similar in many ways to The Matrix which came out soon after, with agents replaced by sinister aliens who seem to be based on vampires (dead bodies, death by water/sunlight). Doesn't hold up too well to repeat viewings, but everyone should see it once.

Oozing with atmosphere, Dark City is wildly successful in combining noir with a very satisfying sci-fy oddness. The rushed script is unfortunate, at times, but ultimately it works. Constantly compared to a 1999 film that echoes many of the same themes, Dark City stands alone in its attempt to provide a simple trip into the bizarre.

Due to the fact that The Matrix re-used a lot of the sets, this film suffers from a comparison. Similar themes are shared too but this falls flat. And it's full of logic holes, not least of which is "why do aliens with a water phobia have so much of it around?" Weird for weirds sake, but at least it looks good and has a few good actors in it. Not one to avoid, but don't go hunting too hard either... Great concept, badly executed.

Don't buy the hype. Only the set design, costumes, and cinematography are interesting. Concept-wise it's interesting: borrows from Matrix, Blade and a bit of Truman Show. But the execution is not fleshed out well. Lacks internal consistency and attention to detail. The script is bad ("I can change the whole world if I JUST CONCENTRATE!") The lead male is a B-movie ham. The score is programatic "dramatic strings". And the climax is akin to a videogame cut scene. A melodramatic comic book.

IN WHAT WAY IS THIS A GOOD MOVIE? The climactic sequence consists of everybody getting superpowers and just standing there looking at each other, using the power of the mind to create awful special effects. The theatrical version spoils the big reveal in the first 60 seconds. The director`s cut is more mysterious, but boring because nothing makes any sense for the first hour or so. Furthermore, this contains some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Admit it, this movie is a train wreck.

This movie is kinda silly. There are lots of pointless, goofy aspects to it (aliens that chatter their teeth before doing something menacing, anyone?). The costumes (of the aliens, mostly) and the soundtrack are horrendously bad. The writing and acting are also pretty awkward, and plot holes abound. It is, however, much better than The Crow, at least.

Interesting concept, but just not that good.

Everything about this movie is just so damn perfect. Performances, design, direction. Even the score is fun. This is the film that beat The Matrix to the punch.

A fascinating idea, and an incredibly well-realized sci-fi short story kind of film. The tall men are perfectly creepy as well.

Classic. Very well done noir thriller that really messes with your mind and keeps your jaw open for the entire movie until your mind is turned upside down at the end.

Very surreal and very creepy. Movie would have benefited from being perhaps twenty minutes longer, but it ain't no thing.

Wonderful dark timeless feel to this movie, and the strangers are creeeeepy. The narration seemed a bit clumsy. Without it we could have had a little more mystery to uncover along with the main character. Otherwise, great film.

A bit of a slow burn, and the effects are a bit dated, but its ideas, story and some of the performances are pretty good. And it's clearly influential, I've seen similar themes explored in later movies.

Dark City is such a cool movie. I already love a good neo-noir but it's the sci-fi trappings that really sold me. I'm not always impressed with the acting but when everything else is this good, it almost doesn't matter.

Some neat ideas, some neat cinematography, but this just feels like City of Lost Children made by college film bros (given a monster budget). Kiefer's performance is grating, to say the least, and the rest, while passable, are dealing with an editor that just can't leave anything the hell alone. Is it hard-boiled? Is it a mindfuck? Whatever it is, it ain't coherent.
