Director's cut DVD is the way to go. They get rid of the whole intro monologue that gives away the whole movie and wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.
Best scifi movie since Blade Runner. In fact it hasn't been topped yet. Whatever else Alex Proyas does, he will be remembered as a genius for this movie alone. Also, in such a claustrophobic, dark, paranoid, angry (all male-mindset) movie, it's impressive that he got the love-interest element right (whereas other similar films fail).
Wow no wonder y this movie is so underrated. The trailer sucked buns. Such a fantastic movie with a shitty trailer can do real damage. No matter how brilliant the movie is.
No offense, but I think the trailer is awesome... To each their own...
LOVE the music, and the scense. I remember when I first saw this trailer (I believe it was when I watched Highlander 2 in the theatres, or perhaps Mortal Combat???) I was hooked, and couldn't wait to see it.
Movie was great, trailer was awesome (great music too, imho).
The trailer is so good because the images that it presents are at once evocative, enthralling, and devoid of meaning. You have no idea what's going on in any given shot, but at the same time each shot instills a particular emotional response.
Not only does The Matrix owe so much to Dark City in terms of concept, style and storyline, but interestingly it uses the same set pieces. The stairway Murdoch is chased by Baumstead on is the same staircase Neo sees the de'ja vu cat. The phone box at the start is also the phonebox Trinity escapes from the truck.
I like the first Matrix but I know which movie I prefer....
This movie looks awesome, about to see if I can watch the whole thing on youtube. I recall being intensely interested in it when it first came out but I forgot all about it. Now Luciferion - The Apostate has me looking into it again.
I know why it never did that well... the Connelly Curse. Only about 2 of Jennifer Connelly's movies have ever done well, no matter how good the movie or how great the rest of the cast.
@erispandora What's wrong with Jennifer Connelly? And why the hell would a movie do badly because of ONE "unlikeable" actor/actress, when we have so many examples of the contrary. (Pirates of the Carribean, X-Men, and any movie with Keanu Reeves spring to mind...)
My only complain with the movie is the editing. With a title like Dark City, you think that it's a movie where you can appreciate a cool dark atmosphere but with a editing so quick (like in this movie), it's almost impossible to do so. During action scenes it's understandable, but in almost every scene there's quick editing....and that really pisses me off >:(
I wish they made the shown eclipse at the end of this trailer a part of the poster/video case marketing. It makes so much sense once you see the movie!
So my 4 year old son keeps sayin he wants to go to dark city, i have no clue where its at, so if someone can give me a address so i can take him please lol
Kind of a sleeper hit but not bad in it's release timeframe. Still added it to my channel. Anything with alt realities or powerful imagery is great. Love sci-fi, fantasy, the works.
Ur kiddin? Me and the Mrs. spent our honeymoon there! All ya gotta do is take Main St. West to... err is it the crosstown? Funny, I can't seem to remember if it's Main St. W. or the crosstown!
Dark City sounds a lot better than The Matrix. Seriously everyone, what a stupid title The Matrix was when it came out and when I saw titles like The Matrix Reloaded or The Matrix Revolutions, good God..
Cliches in the sequel titles on The Matrix sequels = incomprehensive title name.. Just what is the phrase, "The Matrix Revolutions" supposed to mean? if you had no idea about the movie or saw no image related to movie, the momeny you finished reading the title you'd think it's a fucking joke..
@toxicitzi You're a fucking joke, actually watch movies before you talk. I've seen dark city, read the comic book premise from which the director took inspiration from, and watched everything about the matrix. In the end, I enjoyed The Matrix more.
i saw this movie yesterday and it gave me great insight, it also brought up a very philosophical and deep conversation afterwards.. this is the best movie i've ever seen so far!
Is it just me or does the directors cut give away too much of the ending? when i first saw it in theaters, i was slapped in the face when then showed the world. when i saw the directors cut, it just seemed all too obvious,.. maybe i'm coming at it too biased?
@CSLFiero Actually the theatrical cut gave away too much cause sutherlands character narrated in the begining and quickly gave way everything about the villains about who and what they were and what they did. the DC version made it look more of a mystery and revealed everything near the middle end had we all not seen the original version we might have been shocked. So with out sounding like a complete jerk. Yes you kind of are being a bit too biased. I personally think the DC is better.
oh no offense taken. I physically can't get slapped by the movie anymore, i know how it ends. That's the whole reason i can't appreciate the inherent shock value it has. i couldn't find anything better to blame for it. =(
@CSLFiero I actually see the DC version more than the TC I just hate that some people act like The matrix started the whole style that this movie obviously did first.
That and it's a better movie. Too many people make some stupid biblical connection to Matrix. Then after the first movie, it got all up it's own ass. I don't like altered reality movies too much, they either hold your hand too much or are intentionally hard to follow. Can't anyone just have a cool world without having to explain it as some sort of dream or parallel universe? sheesh!
@CSLFiero And that's why i love dark city it shows that it's created by the strangers but they don't explain how it works or how there tuning makes the city reform itself. The matrix for some reason did not want to leave certain things a mystery and they contradicted themselves many times over. And the ending...well i don't think i have to go into details on how bad that was. in some ways i'm glad this movie was not that successful cause then the studio would force them to make stupid sequels.
@greyfox129 You're an idiot. You're inability to comprehend the ending just shows how dumb down film viewers are. Have you taken a college level philosophy course? Probably not because you wouldn't be contemplating the significance of the resolution. How about you use your head and do some research. The ending is actually very simple once you piece together the underlying aspects of the second and third film. Which actually were supposed to be ONE film. Also the Animatrix is a part of the story.
@Tekkenman101 Dude this is youtube not some film class just cause i give an opinion i don't ever expect that everyone would agree. And i have seen the matrix movies and i don't care about the significance of it cause in the end many and i mean many people did not like the 2 sequels. So stop being a fanboy and hounding everyone that doesn't appreciate your favorite movies or your views. You're the idiot that has nothing better to do so you pick fights here by calling people names.
I saw this too in theaters when I saw Proyas's name. I thought The Crow was really good on the big screen, one of my best movie experiences ever (great crowd that night), and I was too young to get into rated R movies, can't beat that feeling. I was blown away by it even with the spoiling line of dialog at the beginning. When the DC came out I had to own it, and it made a very good movie a masterpiece. One of my top 10 favorites of all time.
I have to say I do not understand the love for this film, maybe its because I saw this after the matrix, but to me it was a good concept that was never properly explored in the film....and the dialogue was on par with plan 9! 'You are probably wondering why I keep appearing in your memories, John. It is because I have inserted myself into them'
I think pretty much every frame of this film is a work of art. You can pause it at about any moment and see a masterpiece. I believe the concept was implemented very well. I'll have to disagree with you there. To each his/her own though. I liked The Matrix very much too, but consider it an inferior film to this all things considered.
@graric i have not seen it in a while but i can sum it up, aliens take humans aboard their spacecraft to experiment on them, they in-plant memory's of difference scenarios to understand the human mind (how we react). one of the Dr's working with the alien is a human, if he does not do what they say he dies, but he makes a plan to inject a cretin human with the gene as the aliens so he can control the ship like they do.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 I feel the same about the thematic of the movie and the ending. One of my favourites, I'm glad back in 98 when i saw it for the first time i got a little bit late to the cinema and missed the opening description, because it ruins the mystery and the feel of the movie. That's why i recommend to only see the director's cut
@AbandonedHeart Oh come on! Great, interesting and intelligent films are made all the time, and they made just as many shitty movies back then as they do today. It's just that we tend to only remember the good ones better.
@ooaaveehoo True, back then there were also shitty movies, but the ratio of good movies to bad was higher than it is now. Now, we're just trying to make remakes and sequels to old movies to restore some old glory. We've lost creativity in films and are searching for obscure ways to bring attention to directors losing glory. I.E. Cowboys and Aliens.
Did anyone else notice that the last sceen from this movie (the one with the city tumbling into the ocean) looks almost EXACTLY like that sceen from Inception...?
don't watch this movie is a fucking shit im not trolling, really is the most stupid movie that i have ever seen, Jennifer connelly's character is the only good thing.
@smokehaze187 this person bisys2 is a perfect example why no one should listen to biased jerks like them. They say a movie sucks and yet does not go into details on why he1/she hates it and then tells people to trust them. I speak for every person who has good taste that when we hear some one tell us not to see a movie we need more than half assed reasons and in this case actual details.
@Dramzul wow, you realy dont know nothing about movies ? for you if movie dont have action and sex, movie sucks... only one thing movie must have....story ( good script ).... and this movie got damn good story...
There are movies that one must experience in the theater to feel its full effect. Dark City is an example of such a film. First rate film making. A++++++++++
@ThatGuyGus Please don't compare this movie to The Matrix or Inception. Unlike either, Dark City is actually worth watching and not so far up its own ass that I wanna punch the writer and director in the face.
this is one of the few movies that whenever I think about it, i think of the trailer. when i was younger and this first came out, the preview blew my mind. great movie, great trailer
I actually hear that the opening narration spoils the film to hell. Without revealing anything, can anyone who has seen the movie tell me when I should mute it and for how long? Tv tropes recommends that you do that.
fuck can some1 help me??! ive been looking for a movie for ever, its a long time since i saw it but i think its about some rescue team or something going into a city where every1 has dissapeard or fallen asleep, not dissapeard but some shit like fallen asleep but they wake up at times?? i think its a virus or something, and this little kid is like the evil master and almost in the end of the film they stand in a underground tunnel and some1 shoots a serum that the kid was holding and it hits him
@Paavo93 no not that one. its like sometimes the infected transform into monsters. one scene i think one of the good guys walks into a room and there is one white bald guy with tattoos on the bed looking dead. the good guy then looks up on the wall and sees heavy metal posters (i think) then all of a sudden he looks at the bed and the guy is gone. then u see him standing in the doorway and the door slams.?? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MOVIE IT IS! IT WAS SCARY AS HELL WHEN I SAW IT!
@DonkymanCominAtYa NOT FALLEN ASLEEP! buy every1 left in the city is infected by a virus or some shit and can transform int monsters i think. one scene is that a good guy with a "alien suit" u know what reaserchers use so they dont get infected or whatever. but the suit fills up with some white shit u can see his face dissapears cus the white thru the glass. i think this happened when a monster did something to him idk its one fuckings long time i saw that movie.
@moloch1636 HOLY SHIT! i just watched the trailer and im pretty sure its the right one! just hope its as good as i remember it was! THANK U A MILLION TIMES!!!!! ^_^
but wow... what a sick atmosphere & thought about how this could all end up being it's just somethingu gotta see for youself. don't hesitate! I just saw it and it's more than worth watching! see for yourself, don't miss out on this
Really great film. Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, Kiefer Sutherland, William Hurt were great. The 90's had so many overlooked & underrated SCI-FI films - this one, FutureSport, The Time Shifters, Virtuosity, Tha Lawnmower Man, Alien 3, Space Truckers, Strange Days, The Arrival, Mimic, The Apocalypse (1997), Virus, RoboCop 2, Them, Body Snatchers, eXistenZ, Sphere, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, Anaconda, The Shadow Men etc
This movie is great! I know a lot of people say that this movie reminds them of The Matrix and vice versa, but to me, it reminds me more of Jean Pierre Jeunet's City of Lost Children with Ron Perlman. Both great movies.
awesome trailer, i used 2 tell everybody i knew about this. saw the preview at the cinemas then on vhs after wedding singer :P mustve watched it 3 hundred times. downloaded the track a while ago. thumpin the darkness!
look at it like this if i wasent on hear all the time i might be i dont no where i would be cause befoure no one would talk to me but says that i was nice to be around but no one was ever around me i was even there? and when i wasent on this more people thought i was crazy and this is the crazyest thing i have ever done im nothing like you would ecspect i look one way and am completely different but always me.
If you liked The Matrix, if you liked Inception, if you liked The Thirteenth Floor, you will LOVE Dark City (Director's Cut). I love all four of those movies. Dark City came out first (1998), BEFORE The Matrix (1999), BEFORE Inception (2010) & BEFORE The Thirteenth Floor (1999).
U want more try classic scifi like soylent green logans run future world and west world tv show the twilight zone x files tv show and movies fringe on tv these days its like x files just ask for scifi buff friends recomendations lots of great scifi out there he he enjoy
I am an avid fan of The Matrix series, and through some coincidence I've finally found this trailer..it looks very interesting indeed, especially for a person who love themes such as alternate-reality, philosophy, religious, cyberpunk, and basically just mind-shattering story that can have deep powerful effects into our so-called "Real World"! ah, and not to mention all those cool CG special effects!
tell me honestly: is this really worth watching, even perhaps more so than The Matrix?
@nikiwonoto dude, honestly, is a great movie, worth each second to watch, many people said than this movie is better than Matrix, but you must to see it to have your own opinion, so, go ahead, watch it!!!
This remind me of Berserk

@iknowwhereyoulive006 I feel the same about the thematic of the movie and the ending. One of my favourites, I'm glad back in 98 when i saw it for the first time i got a little bit late to the cinema and missed the opening description, because it ruins the mystery and the feel of the movie. That's why i recommend to only see the director's cut

@AbandonedHeart Oh come on! Great, interesting and intelligent films are made all the time, and they made just as many shitty movies back then as they do today. It's just that we tend to only remember the good ones better.
ooaaveehoo 5 months ago
@ooaaveehoo True, back then there were also shitty movies, but the ratio of good movies to bad was higher than it is now. Now, we're just trying to make remakes and sequels to old movies to restore some old glory. We've lost creativity in films and are searching for obscure ways to bring attention to directors losing glory. I.E. Cowboys and Aliens.

I speak for every person who has good taste that when we hear some one tell us not to see a movie we need more than half assed reasons and in this case actual details.

I actually hear that the opening narration spoils the film to hell. Without revealing anything, can anyone who has seen the movie tell me when I should mute it and for how long? Tv tropes recommends that you do that.
philipmarie1854 6 months ago
@philipmarie1854 The theatrical cut has a REALLY GREAT intro scene which was sadly cut out when they removed the opening narration.
The narration only happens over a starry night sky. Mute the scene until the point where it drops down to Kiefer Sutherland and turns his head.
It's not a bad spoiler, just gives a bunch of stuff you figure out before the end of the first half.
It doesn't spoil the big twists at the end... In fact, it has quite big misdirection in the narration (won't say what)

If you liked The Matrix, if you liked Inception, if you liked The Thirteenth Floor, you will LOVE Dark City (Director's Cut). I love all four of those movies. Dark City came out first (1998), BEFORE The Matrix (1999), BEFORE Inception (2010) & BEFORE The Thirteenth Floor (1999).

I am an avid fan of The Matrix series, and through some coincidence I've finally found this trailer..it looks very interesting indeed, especially for a person who love themes such as alternate-reality, philosophy, religious, cyberpunk, and basically just mind-shattering story that can have deep powerful effects into our so-called "Real World"! ah, and not to mention all those cool CG special effects!
tell me honestly: is this really worth watching, even perhaps more so than The Matrix?
