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).

Summary: Dark City [Director's Cut]
Comment: At last! A director's cut that actually improves on the original!
The 1998 version of Dark City was a fantastic film (apart from the studio enforced opening narration), very inventive plot with lots of good 'reveals' throughout, also, the cuts were very fast (I don't think a single 'shot' lasted longer than five seconds) which propelled the story along at a blistering pace.
The new edit has an improved 5.1 soundtrack and the re-cut has slowed the film down - which actually improves it. There are extensions to lots of scenes that round off each character's involvement in the plot, and the opening narration has been removed (hurrah!). The picture has also had a major clean up that reveals plot as well as detail.
The new extras are also very interesting and a welcome change from the usual, boring, "This is how we did the effects" documentaries.
All in all, a better version of an already outstanding film. 10/10.

Summary: FANTASTIC RE TELLING
Comment: Finally they have let the Director do it the way it should have been done. The story is much more enjoyable but even darker than before. It makes more sence with more character depth and also previous spfx errors have been removed and corrected. A far more superior version of the film with no studio interferance. ! two thumbs up!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: No more spoiler narration!
Comment: This movie is my favorite of all time; however Keifer Sutherland's spilling of the beans within the first two minutes was always devastating to me. So, if you are a fan of the movie, then your number one question regarding the director's cut should be, "it there a voice over?" and the answer is, thank goodness, "No!!"

Summary: Awesome Movie!
Comment: I watched this movie about six years ago and loved it. I was excited to see it come out in Blu-ray and quickly jumped on it.
