    A man wakes up in a bathroom. There are signs of a struggle around him, a dead body, and a broken syringe. His instincts scream at him to run. But why? He doesn't remember much, fleeting images only. The police are after him, but if he doesn't remember the crime, how can he be a murderer? Hiding in the city, dark, immense and cold, is easy, until he starts to notice incongruities, and foreboding strangers try to catch him. He must escape. but doing so means unraveling the secrets of the Dark City.

    First off, this film plays as a hybrid between a film noir, and sci-fi. Both elements might seem to clash, but they are each done well and perfectly dosed so they mingle well. The attention to detail and atmosphere is impressive. The visuals are stunning but they're not just eye candy, they add to the story, they fuel our unconscious understanding of the existence of the characters inside the city. The characters themselves are great proxies for us to experience the story for ourselves. More than that, they seem to lend a humanistic insight to the harsh metaphor that are presented to us. It is difficult to praise the movie as much as it should be without including spoilers, but this is a movie that bears watching many times.

    I liked very much the idea of the experimental world and how and why the extra terrestrials manipulate the humans. It's so utopic, but still logical in its own way. The actors and the characters are OK, the tempo of the movie is appropriate as of the secrets you learn when you follow the poor guy that doesn't know who he is, what is his past and how he can use his new powers. He must figure out everything with so little help. Very captivating and if you let the idea in your mind, you begin to understand how desperate those people are and there is obviously no solution to their trouble. One thing is sure is that they are humans, still hoping for something (what?) and are certainly unwilling to be told what to do or even think by those that captured them and make experiments on them. I really like that kind of pure fiction. Well done. p.s. what exactly is the idea behind the little bad boy dressed like an adult that follows the killers all the time: he is completely meaningless... Still give it a five stars anyway.

    Great sci-fi flick - similar to the Matrix but this was released a few years prior to the Matrix.

    Without getting too much into the plot, here's how Wikipedia explains the opening to the film: "John Murdoch awakens in a hotel bathtub, suffering from amnesia. He receives a phone call from Dr. Daniel Schreber, who urges him to flee the hotel to evade a group of men who are after him. In the room, Murdoch discovers the corpse of a ritualistically murdered woman along with a bloody knife....."

    Features some well-known actors - Kiefer Sutherland, William Hurt, Jennifer Connelly, and Rufus Sewell, who is probably best known as John Smith from Prime's "Man in the High Castle" series.

    This movie really stuck in my mind when I saw it as a teenager having always loved dirty sci-fi. I would highly recommend the Directors Cut as it gives the viewer no information at the beginning so that the viewer and protagonist uncover everything together throughout the movie (the theatrical has a voice over at the beginning that sets the plot slightly and is not needed). The movie doesn’t answer every question at the conclusion of the film but still works very well. Highly recommend!

    I love this movie it's so dark and weird but it may not be for everyone, make sure to watch the trailer first to make sure but personally it's so odd I love it. And like the headline says it did some of the base ideas in the Matrix before it was done so keep that in mind if you think you'll enjoy this.

    Filmtitel: Dark City

    Produktionsland: USA

    Produktionsjahr: 1998

    Inhalt:
    John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) erwacht in einer Badewanne und kann sich an nichts mehr erinnern. Nicht wer er ist, wie er heißt und wo er ist. Er erhält einen Anruf von einem gewissen Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland) das er das Zimmer rasch verlassen soll, denn es kommen Männer um ihn dingfest zu machen. Dabei entdeckt er einen grausigen Fund. Bei seiner Flucht wird er von einem Kriminalbeamten (William Hurt) verfolgt, denn man verdächtigt ihn ein Massenmörder zu sein. Auch seine Frau (Jennifer Connelly) sucht nach ihm und gerät an diesen Dr. Schreber, der ihr eine Geschichte auftischt die voller Lügen ist. Doch warum sucht ein Nervenarzt nach Murdoch. Angeblich bildet dieser sich eine Realität ein, die es gar nicht gibt. So stellt sich die Frage ist seine Frau seine Ehefrau, war er jemals in sie verliebt? Murdoch lebt in einer ewigen dunklen Stadt wo nie ein Sonnenlicht zu sehen ist und er erkennt, dass Punkt 12.00 (Mittag am Tag oder Mitternacht, keiner weiß es) alle Menschen in der Stadt einschlafen und sich Teile der Stadt verändern. Bislang machte sich keiner Gedanken darüber, alles wirkt normal. Doch in dieser Stadt ist nichts normal und Murdoch findet heraus was hier passiert. Aber auch mit ihm geschieht etwas. Er hat ungeahnte geistige Fähigkeiten, was ihn jedoch zum Staatsfeind Nr.1 macht.

    Schauspieler:
    Rufus Sewell wurde wohl gerade mit dieser Rolle bekannt und seine etwas stoische Mimik hat er seitdem nie abgelegt. Und dennoch schafft er es mit nur wenigen Mimiken die notwendigen Gefühle auszudrücken. Am besten auch im Finale wo er gegen die Außerirdischen antreten und mit der Macht seines Geistes sich verteidigen muss. William Hurt und Kiefer Sutherland spielen ebenso ihre Rollen mit fein nuancierten Mimiken. Dass sie etwas starr spielen mussten, hatte mit ihrem vorgegebenen, geprägten Rollenbildern zu tun und das bekamen sie sehr gut hin.

    Kritik:
    Wer den Film noch nicht kennt, sollte sich nicht erschrecken lassen. Der Film beginnt merkwürdig, geht Film Noir-mäßig weiter und ist skurril in Bild und Szene, aber auch Horrormäßig angehaucht. Doch wenn nach und nach erklärt wird, was hinter der Geschichte steckt, wird dieser Science-Fiction-Streifen mehr als klar. Und dann mit dem Fulminaten Finale wird die Geschichte befriedigend abgeschlossen. Dominat ist auch die Frage im Film: ist unser Leben real oder bilden wir es uns nur ein, weil es uns so vorgegeben wurde (ähnliche Fragestellung kennt man ja auch aus der Matrix-Trilogie).

    Die Effekte waren für das Jahr 1998 sehr gut bewerkstelligt worden und wirkten plausibel. Grafisch wie auch visuell besticht der Film, trotz dass er ständig im Dunkeln sich abspielt. Aber alle Szenen sind gut ausgeleuchtet worden, gehen nicht in Dunkelheit unter, sind gut erkennbar gedreht worden.

    Letztendlich erhielt der SF-Film vier verschiedene Auszeichnungen (Saturn Award – bester SF-Film, Bram Stoker Award – bestes Drehbuch, Scream Award, Pegasus Audience Award).

    Filmmusik:
    Die Musik von Trevor Jones passt zum Film, hat einige Melodien die gut ins Ohr gehen und Stimmungsmusik die Szenen gut untermalen.

    Kinofassung vs. Directors Cut:
    10 Jahre nach Veröffentlichung des Filmes auf DVD kam in den USA eine Directors Cut-Version heraus mit neuen Animationen, einer längeren Filmmusik und zusätzlichen Filmszenen. Angeblich soll diese Fassung um 10 Minuten länger sein.
    Unterschiede: Am Filmanfang entfällt der Monolog von Dr. Schreber, auch die Szene wo die Stadt in Schlaf fällt. Diese Szene wurde im Film später angesetzt. Jennifer Connelly darf in der DC-Fassung nun ihre eigene Stimme für den Barsong verwenden. In der Kinofassung wird sie von Anita Kelsey gesungen. Bei den Tuning-Szenen wurde animationsmässig was verändert um zu zeigen das Murdoch seine Fähigkeiten zum tunen noch trainieren muss. Auch erhielt die Filmstadt optische Verbesserungen wie zusätzliche Lichtstrahlen und Rauchspuren.
    Neu hingegen ist, dass Fingerabdrücke von Murdoch auf den Leichen zu finden sind. Dann wird irgendwo eine Tochter hineinmoniert, die den wahren Mörder zeichnet und wo Murdoch erkennt, dass er nicht der der Massenmörder sein kann.
    Bis dato gibt es nur eine englischsprachige DC-Fassung auf DVD. Man kann nur hoffen, dass diese auch mal auf Blu-ray in deutscher Sprache herauskommen wird.

    Laufzeit des Filmes:
    100 Minuten (Kinofassung).

    Qualität der Blu-Ray:
    Bildqualität: 1920x1080p (2.35:1). Das Bild ist scharf und ohne Bildstörungen. Im Vergleich zur DVD eine hervorragende Bildüberarbeitung. Besonders das Grieseln während der ganzen dunklen Szenen ist nicht mehr auffällig und macht das Bild um ein vielfaches schärfer.
    Tonqualität: Englisch in DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 und Deutsch in DD 5.1. Der Ton ist gut und die Dialoge gut verständlich.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Might be 4K of the year
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    This might be one of the best 4Ks I've seen, the transfer on both cuts look amazing, crisp, and bring new life to this cult classic which failed at the box office. The director's cut definitely looks the best here, I saw a lot more detail in this cut than the theatrical. All the old features are on disc 2 and some new ones on disc one including a new full-length documentary. The audio is great here since there are Atmos tracks for both cuts, it literally sounds like you're in a theater with these tracks, there are DTS MA tracks as well. Thing is, I wouldn't blind buy this movie if you've never seen it because this film is not going to be liked by everyone and is a very obscure cult film at this point. It just wasn't made for everybody so be warned.

Mi domando perché la cecchi gori non riproponga questa titolo, fuori catalogo e introvabile nella prima edizione dvd. Parlando del film poco da dire, capolavoro assoluto del cyberpunk e del cinema. Possibile trovare un filo artistico che lega dark city, Matrix, blade runner, Gattaca, tredicesimo piano, Existenz...
