| The trailer for Dark City looked so cool. Well, I guess the actual
movie looked cool, too. It just wasn’t cool. In fact, it kinda blew.

| Dark City is such a rare treat: it¹s a stunning, hyperkinetic vision of a
place where our reality is fused with noir, science fiction and the darkest
nights in Manhattan and London. To boot, it is accompanied by an intense,
well written and thoughtful...more |

| Despite deep, deep misgivings about "Dark City", from how bad the TV
commericals look after the seriously cool theater trailers, and from
word of mouth, I went to see the movie last night and was surprised.
It didn't totally suck; it wasn't totally...more |

| This is the fifth time I have watched Dark City. Four times I have
watched it on video rentals, the fifth time I watched it on a DVD, the

paid $24.99 to buy the DVD, about...more |

| There isn’t much good about this movie. Not much I can say about the
acting, directing, or writing that would make you consider seeing this movie.
So I’ll get my one good comment out of the way, at least Joel Schuemacher
(Batman & Robin) didn’t direct...more |

room with a dead woman. Terrified he flees into the shadowy city,
pursued by a puzzled cop (Hurt), his supposed wife (Connelly) and a
group of mysterious figures cloaked in black,...more |

| As good as THE CROW and SPAWN are, DARK CITY is better. Where the former two
have a specific comic-book following, the latter is an original work with
the potential for broader appeal. It has a similar look to the others, but
DARK CITY is much more...more |

never seen or dreamt, like experiences David Lynches paintings. People

| The best thing -- in fact, the only good thing -- I can say about Dark
