This is an amazingly visually inventive film, blending sci-fi (or more accurately fantasy) with elements of film noir and German expressionism. It seduces you so thoroughly that you are not tempted to ponder the ridiculous plot. That may sound like a swipe at the film, but I don't mean it as one. There's nothing wrong with a ridiculous plot if the film sweeps you up and carries you along with it. A lot of films try to get this balance right and all they end up being are good-looking duds.

A lot of people really love Dark City, but I found it uninteresting. In 1998, in theaters, it would have been great. Matrix had staying power that this will not for me.

This is an interesting story - a character study of someone who doesn't have memories, focusing on what makes us ourselves above and beyond our experiences. The big SF reveal comes too early, even in the director's cut, but it's still a bunch of really interesting ideas mooshed together. It drips with atmosphere, and the anime-inspired final battle (Proyas cited Akira) feels like the kind of thing you want from any protagonist who taps into cosmic power - or what I want from them, anyway.

Enjoyable enough, and reminded me of Zulawski's 'The Third Part of the Night. It's decently filmed and somewhat interesting but, I kind of found the whole thing a bit bizarre. Pretty bad acting and Kiefer's character was so cartoonish and the way he spoke drove me insane; I...must...take....a...breath...after....every...word, like Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle. And let's not forget the least intimidating and scary villains ever, just bald freaks. Listen, it is pretty decent, but not great.

Maybe in the 90s these aesthetics were interesting. In 2021, sort of boring. Besides some superficial questioning about the relationship between memories and identity (another not terribly original idea), this movie is quite disappointing. Plus is full of logical holes. Don't waste your time...

The Dark City always kinda lived in The Matrix' shadow but it's a good movie on its own. It really has its own thing going on, and the oppressive atmosphere works quite well. The finale is a bit too silly for me but other than that it's solid.

Dark City consistently delivers atmosphere and a creepy aura of mystery, but I wasn't convinced that it's puzzle pieces fit well enough to make for a very satisfying movie.
