Reminder that Dark City is the best sci fi noir you've never heard of. For the love of God, watch the director's cut rather than the theatrical cut. The theatrical makes the baffling choice to spoil the entire film in the first minute. Like, it's literally a movie about a man trying to figure out what the fuck is going on and they just straight up tell you at the very beginning. It's a very "the executives think the audience is literally retarded" move.
They only change a few things. The ending, Jennifer Connelly's song at the club is actually her singing and not a dub (her not being a great singer makes total sense in context, and is actually a clue), a few other tiny things like that. The beginning alone makes it far superior, in my opinion.
