(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1   "Such thin plotting is okay, because it's the city itself that makes this film work."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 4/4 "One of the most imaginative and creative films ever made."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes B "Dark City is a sci-fi/noir thriller that portends to deliver a message relating to the powers of the mind and the meaning of identity."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B "It is a film noir that is either for teenage boys, sci-fi fanatics or movie geeks. It won't appeal to many. But if you fit into one of the above categories you will fall in love with Dark City."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Was "The Matrix" before "The Matrix" was ever in the pop culture lexicon..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 3.5/4 "Dark City has as stunning a visual texture as that of any movie that I've seen."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Part film noir, part science fiction, part fantasy, and part psychotic dreamscape, Dark City is a visual marvel of a cinematic experience."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/4 "Dark City is quite a rarity: it is both visceral and cerebral at once."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 9/10 "Overall, I must say that this film is one that I thoroughly enjoyed from frame one to frame last, and look very forward to watching it over and over again, with nachos by my side, and mind set to 'absorb.'"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "...the movie is mostly style, but it's a style so engrossing, it more than makes up for any lack of substance."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 4 "The third act is totally clunky and Hollywood and loud and silly - after the creepy elegance (overall) of the rest of the movie, the ending is an utter letdown."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "The visuals are totally astonishing. Practically every scene features impressive FX, and the direction is inventive."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "e of the most breathtakingly spectacular looking films to come down the pike in some time.."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "A surprisingly haunting confection."   Film Journal International   Maitland McDonagh 3/5 "It's all about the amazing look, cobbled together from an astonishingly evocative range of sources: Nosferatu and Mad Love, Brazil and Metropolis, a haunted mosaic of bits and pieces of movie memories."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 6/8 "This is a film with the texture of nightmare."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3.5/4 "There seem to be two reactions to Dark City. You either love it or you are unimpressed. Count me as a 'love it.'"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 3/10 "And what happened in the theater after we all endured Dark City? One pair of hands applauded, and someone in the back of the theater yelled, 'Oh, shut up!'"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A visionary slice of visceral experience."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/5 "Has all the visual punch of ... Terry Gilliam and David Fincher, but lacks the narrative and thematic strength of either of those two."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "While the concept of memory altering is mind-boggling, the visuals bring it chillingly alive."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "An unsettling depiction of reality as elusive and ephemeral."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 1/5 "One of the most ludicrous movies in years."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves A+ "The experience of Dark City is one that no film lover should miss... seen now as it was intended after 10 long years of wandering in the shadows."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3/4 "The film holds up pretty well as a science fiction mystery as Murdock and Bumstead probe the mysteries of the dark city and uncover its secrets."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 5/5 "A wonderfully complex and startlingly visionary epic. I love this movie."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "A metanarrative intrigue into those huge creative spaces"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Shane Burridge Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1
