Best Blu-Ray PQ i've seen to date! , November, 16, 2008

The picture quality in Blu-ray version is absolutely stunning!! This is how all transfers to high def should be. With a calibrated a TV you will be blown away with its inky blacks and spot on colors.
The finest BD I've to date. Buy this just to show off your rig and if you like the movie then just consider it a bonus.

 

Dark City [Director's Cut] , November, 03, 2008

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.

 

FANTASTIC RE TELLING , November, 02, 2008

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!!!
