Dark City is… interesting. Sort of horror, sort of noir, sort of science fiction; definitely worth watching, if you like movies where ‘messing with your mind’ isn’t even remotely metaphorical. Interestingly, I think that I’ve only seen the theatrical release; the director’s cut is supposed to be better. Then again, Director’s Cuts are always supposed to be better, even when they’re really not.
And so, adieu to Pitch Black.
I’ve always thought this move is better than it generally gets credit for.
Agreed.
The only significant difference between the theatrical version and the director’s cut IS the opening narration. Sort of like how the studio force Ridley Scott to put in narration for Blade Runner. Taking it out improved the movie immediately.
test audiences found the directors cut confusing.
