Dark City | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

DanTheMan 2 Taking its cues from the film noir tales of the 40s and 50s, filled with neverending shadows, Dark City is an exceptionally stylish-looking production driving a story with grand aspirations. Unabashed in its eccentricities and relishes the hypnotic, mystifying world it creates. Director Alex Proyas drenches each shot with a unique feel and delivers a film with a visual sense with all the inventive, poetic power of Ridley Scott or Terry Gilliam firing on all cylinders. He expertly handles a story that's both dark and often violent and told with a remarkable sense of visual energy and imagination that defies logic and makes frightening, unexpected leaps that lead it down a path you couldn't predict. Superbly well acted and backed by incredible visual effects and a fantastic pulse pounder of a score by Trevor Jones, you often see Dark City unfavourably compared to The Matrix and yet this apocalyptic tale of alien abduction, telekinesis, amnesia, murder and love is an entertaining and unimaginable expedition through a cinematic phenomenon more than worthy of your time. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Alec C The human soul is capable of incredible things and the mind can literally move mountains! As an amnesiac man wakes up wanted for multiple murders, he begins to discover the sinister machinations of a group of sinister aliens who control the surreal city where the sun never shines. A provocative, psychological, science-fiction film that manages to question the nature of humanity and the mysteries of the unknown! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Conrad G Interesting and cool film that doesn't get much attention. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review E K This is one of my favorite late 90s Sci-Fi movies 😁 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Jason L I'm sorry this movie is dumb. Even if I had seen it before The Matrix I would not have liked it. Why does Keifer Sutherland act so weird? It's so dark you can't see what's happening. The story is the most basic plot points of a dozen movies. The things they do to try to dress it up and make it cool are embarrassing. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Amy S Phenomenal. There isn't a movie in existence that I've watched as many times as this stunning piece of cinema. A fantastic piece of speculative fiction. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
