I missed seeing Dark City when it was in theaters (probably because I was 9) so I'd like to see that on the big screen. The Director's Cut of Dune would be my second choice.
GAH! Curse you!
I've just had Dark City as an exam film and I thought it was TERRIBLE. Seriously, kind of starts of well, some interesting shots, which Proyas seemingly gave up on half way through filming. However, one of my biggest gripes is with people saying how
good the film looks. No, nuh uh, not buying it. The shifting city I think looks awful, what's with the weird ray-gun power coming out of their heads! Seriously, watch it, then watch the Matrix, which came out a YEAR later. Yes it's vaguely interesting mise en scene but Blade Runner looks and feels much better in that department.
With regards to it being sci-fi but still 'arty' no, no. It's fucking stupid. The plot is shit, and stupid. And as for Kiefer Sutherland, "eeh, huh, I am... acting, yes? A-haha". Angry!
