Product description

Product Description

A mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems.

From Alex Proyas, visionary director of The Crow, comes Dark City, a mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems.

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there, but there's a body on the floor with bloody spirals carved into the flesh and a voice on the phone that tells him to flee. Soon Murdoch is on the run, wanted by the police, a woman who claims to be his wife and a group of mysterious pale men who seem to control everyone and everything in the city... except him.

With a cast that includes Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys), William Hurt (A History of Violence), Jennifer Connelly (Phenomena) and Richard O'Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and a script by Proyas, Lem Dobbs (Kafka) and David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Dark City is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, filmed through a lens of film noir and German expressionism... an extraordinary feast for the cinematic senses.

    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.

    Dark City has a decent cast, with William Hurt, Jennifer Connelly, and Kiefer Sutherland playing prominent roles. The movie itself has a bit of a Brazil (the film) vibe to it.

    Steelbook bellissima. Qualità disco ottima, contiene le due versioni cinematografica e directors cut. Nota dolente : presente solo audio originale e francese, sottotitoli solo in francese. 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...
    Imperdibile.

    Science fiction done up as a mystery was why I bought this gem! From start to finish, I suggest the theatrical version first to factor in the details before pursuing the director's cut, the suspense and mysteries involved that come up later in this film make for a compelling story with a fantastic ending!
