	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DARK CITY
		DARK CITY is a darkly beautiful and brilliant piece of cinema that required too much of its television numbed audience- it expected them to think and follow the story without every single detail being spoon fed to them.
		DARK CITY is the brainchild of director Alex Proyas.
		DARK CITY doesn’t give any immediate answers, so the audience must follow along with John Murdoch as he tries to discover who he really is, while solving the mysteries of a city where the night never ends.

	Review: Dark City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dark City is much like Open Your Eyes (which was shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival and will open theatrically later this year in North America) -- both are meditations on the importance of memory to an individual, and how everyone's personality is comprised of the sum total of his or her remembrances.
		Dark City opens by immersing the audience in the midst of a fractured, nightmarish narrative.
		Proyas' inspiration for his Dark City appears to be New York during the first half of this century, but, using a style that is part science fiction, part noir thriller, and part gothic horror, he has embellished it to create a surreal place unlike no other.

	Filmtracks: Dark City (Trevor Jones)
		A dark, mysterious score alone is nothing new -- a really good dark, mysterious score has an extra element of terror or mystification that separates it from the rest.
		Dark City: (Trevor Jones) This is one the most unfairly underrated scores of 1998.
		Dark City was for me one of the better movies in all 1998.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Dark City" on DVD
		Dark City is a futuristic thriller that treads a fine line between science fiction, fantasy, and murder mystery, taking a bit from each genre and adding its own unique twist to create a film that really must be seen to be understood.
		Dark City is another of New Line Cinema's Platinum Series of DVD releases, and it's a terrific view of a possible-but-unlikely scenario in which a dying alien race takes control over a city' full of very confused humans to use in its experiments.
		Dark City also uses computer generated special effects to create a mind boggling display of the alien technology as they manipulate matter to their own ends.

		After a display of the bizarre occurrence that happens to the city around midnight, we are introduced to the film's protagonist, a man named John Murdoch, who awakens in a bathtub, with no memory of his life or how he got where he was.
		As Murdoch wanders the city, trying to find his identity, we learn that not only are the strange people (who are appropriately named The Strangers) looking for Mr.
		So, we enter their experiment, which revolves around making the inhabitants of the city fall asleep at midnight while the strangers give them new lives by implanting new memories in them and changing the environment around them.

		Dark City is quite a rarity: it is both visceral and cerebral at once.
		Dark City's designs are a skilful updating of the artistry of films like Nosferatu (1922) (the original, not the remake), Metropolis (1927) and The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (1920).
		Dark City goes one step further: the amazing noir-ish city of the title actually plays an active role in the storytelling itself.

	Dark City DVD
		The titular city is a world gone mad, and Proyas' visuals reflect the sense of foreboding felt by the out-of-place hero.
		Much of the city looks like something out of a 1940s nightmare, and what takes it beyond that is the idea that, when it feels like the walls are closing in, for the amnesiac hero, they really are.
		As the hero struggles to find out who is really is, he begins to unravel the city's secrets, and his own - trying to answer the riddles of the "strangers" and their "tuning" power, and why everyone in the city falls asleep at once, except him.

	DVD review of Dark City - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Its dark, futuristic city of the past is designed to evoke images of noir films of the forties and fifties and, naturally, of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"; but I'll bet it conjures up even more recent memories for the majority of its younger viewers.
		Watching "Dark City" is like playing "Doom" on a PC, or "Descent" or "Heretic" or "Duke Nukem" or "Quake" or any of a hundred other titles that all have a dark, labyrinth setting and require the player to puzzle out a usually-violent solution to an unidentified problem.
		Dark it is, to be sure, but I seldom noticed the graininess he reported.

	Dark City (1998): Reviews
		Dark City has as stunning a visual texture as that of any movie that I've seen...Visually, this film isn't just impressive, it's a tour de force.
		All too often, Dark City seems a great production design in search of a movie, an ultimate modern film noir pastiche, in which the images are so strong they overpower the drama.
		The story is dark and often violent, but it's told with a remarkable sense of visual energy and imagination.

	DVD Verdict Review - Dark City
		Dark City is the story of his self-discovery, which also leads to the explanation of everyone's reality.
		Dark City is an interesting combination of two separate genres.
		Even though the subject matter was very dark it was easy to tell what was going on and everything was about as clear and sharp as it could be.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Dark City" review (1998) Alex Proyas, Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt
		"Dark City" stars Rufus Sewell ("Cold Comfort Farm") as John Murdoch, an accused serial killer with no memory of the eccentric, brutal murders he may have committed -- or anything else in his life.
		"Dark City" is built on ideas from the best of the paranoid sci-fi genre, and it is relentless in its mind-boggling.
		While the soundtrack is also relentless in a far less enjoyable way (every frame is inundated with orchestra) and the film is occasionally a bit silly (the Stranger stop time with the aid of a giant glow-in-the-dark clock), "Dark City" has the mesmerizing visual and psychological hex of a cult classic.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Dark City
		Directing with as little light as possible and using only the shades of gray, fl and dark green, he manages to create a cold and unfriendly world, which is a bizarre mixture of countless time periods and ages - a world of eternal night, lit up only by the colorful memories.
		Regrettably the characters in "Dark City" are not very developed and there are some disturbing holes in the plot, that some will find disturbing.
		After a spectacular and completely unexpected revelation that lifts the film to new hight, the finale that follows is rather disappointing, simplified and almost alienated from the rest of the picture.

	Metroactive Movies \| Dark City
		By far the best part of Dark City is the look of the eponymous metropolis, which is equal parts The City of Lost Children, Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and the grubby postwar London of the Quatermass series of British science-fiction films.
		Dark City unfortunately succumbs to the action-movie imperative to Blow Everything Up, and the film ends on a disappointingly conventional note.
		Dark City (R; 103 min.), directed by Alex Proyas, written by Lem Dobbs, David S. Goyer and Proyas, photographed by Dariusz Wolski and starring Rufus Sewell and Kiefer Sutherland.

		Dark City is an extremely interesting experiment of blending futuristic settings with an oddly 1940's style of society.
		Overall, Dark City is great movie for horror or sci-fi fans that adore gothic style darkness combined with strangely modern or old-fashioned visualization, interwoven with some nice action scenes and great effects.
		Dark City is the equivalent of taking a train through a tunnel with the proverbial light at the end being either an oncoming train or the end of the tunnel - except the tunnel is a nasty horror film roller coaster loop without the majority of the gore and bad plot.

	Dark City Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		With his second directorial feature, "Dark City", Alex Proyas brings us a startling vision of a bleak alternate reality, while touching on existentialism, memory, and other ponderous philosophical issues.
		Apparently, according to the prosaic opening voice-over, the Strangers are a dying alien race that came down to Earth in search of a cure for their own mortality, and the key to prolonging their lives lies in understanding the human soul.
		"Dark City" is certainly no "Blade Runner", which many hoped it would be, but if you enjoy thought-provoking science fiction, such as the heavily-metaphysical episodes of "The Twilight Zone" or "Star Trek: The Next Generation", then the gothic vision of "Dark City" is for you.

		Dark City weaves a simple sci-fi/detective noir narrative into a marvel of sustained intensity and richness of atmosphere.
		Dark City has the looks and energy of a great comic book, with loads of static, craftily angled shots edited together like panels in graphic novel.
		Superb lighting is a crucial part of the drama, a city of warm, organic colours shrouded in shadow and ultra diffuse light to make the omnipresent night permeate every pore and fibre.

	Dark City
		Trevor Jones' score treads a similarly dark path, seamlessly mixing synthesisers and orchestra through a series of cues which run the gamut of styles from tense and brooding to triumphant and beautiful.
		His orchestrations are purposefully thick and heavy - in parallel to the constant flness of the city itself - and the use of a low male voice choir signifies the constant feeling of foreboding and oppression, making it a stylistic cousin to scores like Danny Elfman's Batman and Darkman.
		In total contrast, 'The Strangers Are Tuning' sees Jones in orchestral powerhouse mode, taking his drums and brasses to a truly massive scale as the dark city itself is "tuned" by the mysterious figures cloaked in fl.
