Title: A phenomenal, unique film; this edition fixes its only flaw.
Product review: In the original edition a voiceover at the beginning, added at the behest of the studio, explains 2/3 of what was intended to be a mystery for most of the film. It always bothered me, being one of the few discernible flaws in an otherwise masterful "neo-noir" exercise for the cerebellum. Luckily, the Director's Cut axes this unfortunate component. If you are new to Dark City, BUY THE DIRECTOR'S CUT. Besides the aforementioned exclusion, there are also other noteworthy inclusions to the story. I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't go into detail, but the new scenes add depth and extra angles to an already engrossing character-driven story. Last but not least, the three commentary tracks are entertaining, particularly Roger Ebert's track. All in all, a great value for one hell of an underrated masterpiece.
