Definitely an improvement,

This review is from: Dark City [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
'Dark City' has always been an interesting but flawed movie, and this Director's Cut fixes a lot of those flaws with the removal of a few changes forced on the director by the studio (e.g. excessive narration) and adding a few minutes of extra footage which helps to fill out some of the holes in the theatrical release.As you'd expect, it looks great on Blu-Ray, and comes with some interesting extras. If you like the movie and have only seen the theatrical cut, I'd certainly pick up this version to see it closer to the way it was intended to be seen.

A few things you should know about 'Dark City',
This review is from: Dark City (Director's Cut) (DVD)
The Amazon editorial review implies this film is all style no substance, but that is untrue. Although a lot of effort went into the style (partly in homage to Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis') the darkness here is no mere plot device, it is a metaphor.The 'dark city' is an elaborate device created by a soulless race of aliens (who all look like John Gielgud, perhaps because they "use our dead as vessels") as part of a giant experiment to find out what makes humans IRREDUCIBLE (i.e. the part of us that can't be measured or quantified - our souls). 'Dark City' is clearly influenced by Gnostic spirituality, with its concept of a demiurge who has trapped us in a materialistic 'circle of circles'. The film is tightly scripted and packed together, with extremely fast camera shots (like British show 'The Prisoner', with which it has much in common), and more than one viewing may be necessary to understand the plot in its entirety.

This review is from: Dark City (Director's Cut) (DVD)
Dark City was really good, the Director's Cut is great. One of the few times (like Alien 3) where the Directors cut makes a huge improvement to the film.
