Darkest City (Dark City) - Jorge
Dark City was one of the touchstones of the early DVD era.
The film was embraced by the geeks, and derided by them. Likewise, the pacing and the acting.
For all that, Dark City was a showroom demo disc (along with Blade, Matrix, and Blade Runner), and dominated the charts in Video Business Retailer when it came out.
The original was always an excellent example of SciFi Noir.
Jorge’s version is slightly darker, done with trims.
Jorge’s version is outstanding on a technical level.
Video edits are clean and help propel the pace. I did not find the narrative any more mysterious, however.
Audio modifications are noticeable. Sometimes the new scoring works, other times not.
A bit too much for my liking, though chalk that down to personal taste.
Otherwise, highly recommended.
