Roger Ebert
"Dark City'' is a film to nourish us. Not a story so much as an experience, it is a triumph of art direction, set design, cinematography, special effects--and imagination.

Roger Ebert
"Dark City" by Alex Proyas resembles its great silent predecessor "Metropolis" in asking what it is that makes us human, and why it cannot be changed by decree.

Common Sense Media
The way Dark City fuses science fiction with classic film-noir detective imagery and Kafka-esque fantasy-allegory is stylish and boldly visionary.

Dark City has as stunning a visual texture as that of any movie that I've seen.

AllMovie
Dark City takes what could have been a wildly pretentious storyline and imbues it with skill and substance.

Bleeding Fool
Dark City presents a dystopian world enveloped in an eerie noir atmosphere, transcending the Matrix franchise’s action-oriented approach.

IMDb
"the film seemed very promising from the start; the awesome soundtrack, produces the 'correct' atmosphere throughout: epic at times, eerie at others, dark at others, but always seeming not out of place."
