Dark City 1998 INTERNAL DVDRip XviD-KiNESiS

First there was darkness…, then came… the strangers.
Hello everyone! First of all, I want to say that these news are dedicated to a special friend I have made. Thank you, I really enjoy the time with you
Now on with my post!
As u can see nothing good seems to come out of the scene, so I thought myself I might delight you guys with a Staff-Pick to pass some time. The sentence written in bold on top is the first line you hear, when you watch that movie. In front of you a pitch black sky with an ocean of stars reveals itself. Welcome to the Dark City!
I have chosen this movie, because I was always fascinated by the attempt to capture the word “infinity” into graphical elements and the creators of Dark City have done a damn good job. By creating the never ending, always changing city you empathize quiet a lot with John, the main actor, who on his attempt to flee the city is never able to find rest. The same counts for you, this movie has one of the shortest average shot lengths (ASL) of any modern narrative production at 1.8 seconds. There is a cut almost every 2 seconds. This means you never get to analyze a scene properly, because the picture always changes and except that, there is almost total darkness everywhere anyway…
Thank you, dear reader for reading this and have a lot of fun with Dark City

Synopsis: Upon awakening with a start in an icy bathtub in a strange room–with a woman’s dead body inconveniently nearby–John Murdoch can’t remember how he got there. With a police detective hot on his trail and a psychiatrist skulking around, Murdoch discovers that the key to his mystery is the presence of strange extraterrestrial creatures, the Strangers, who are experimenting with the memories of the humans in his city–from which there may be no escape. Ambitious sci-fi noir, with rich production design and a dense, Kafkaesque concept.

I love you too baby!
Very stylish movie.
Good!
filename pls.
-thx
Amazing movie. It put my girlfriend to sleep the last time I played the dvd, but other than Battlestar Galactica her attention span wanes with any sci-fi show/movie we watch anyway.
“First there was darkness. Then came… the Strangers.”
I found the torrent here
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4038947/Dark_City_(1998)-JBW
I saw this when it was released to dvd. Didn’t know what to expect and was really surprised by how good it was. sci-fi mystery noir all the way, and unexpectedly high production values for effects.
awesome! imaginitive characters and storyline, a complex ending!

How do you get to that beach?
Great film.
Thanks.
Cool movie!
Please come and post stuff like this on: http://www.providings.com
I saw this movie a long time ago and always wondered what it was called. It was very good movie I look forward to seeing it again.
Staff picks always appreciated. Thank you.
it’s the inspiration for matrix… one of the best scifi flicks ever made
it wasn’t an inspiration for the matrix, it came out the same year and was dwarfed by the matrix. the matrix is good, but dark city is great. one of the best sci-fi films ever, indeed.
also, if you enjoyed dark city, rent/buy it and watch with roger ebert’s commentary. he gives a ton of detail and context to everything, and declares it as a pinnacle of sci-fi cinema.
Dark City is probably the greatest sci-fi. It’s just so mindblowingly great.
One of my favourites, if not favourite.
When do we get the Director’s Cut?
Wow. Talk about overrated…
An underrated classic of dark scifi noir,dont miss this. Anyone with an hd rip of this?
Great pick; despite Kiefer Dunderland. Melissa George never looked better.
a definite classic…hidden in the overhyped shadows of the matrix
thnx over

Wow. Talk about overrated…
———————————————————
Agreed…..best Sci-Fi movie ever? Thats just disrespectful to movies like Soilent Green, Alien (1979), Metropolis (1927), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Blade Runner (1982), Donnie Darko (2001), The Thing (1982), all of which were just as good or even better than Dark City in thier own ways. Don’t misunderstand me….DC is a good movie…but you guys are really over hyping it.
great movie. fukn wierd.
@26 – preference is overhyped.

i saw this a long time ago. eerie, but great movie. recommended
Very Interesting, downloading now.
Thanks Over!!!!!
@nick
Matrix was released one year after dark city…of course the Wachowski brothers got inspired by the story that. quote ” Director Alex Proyas first wrote the story of Dark City in 1990 as a detective story. The protagonist was a detective investigating a case that did not make logical sense, driving him insane as the evidence pointed to a larger, incomprehensible scheme. The detective was originally in pursuit of Murdoch, but Proyas considered the detective’s perspective too analytical and changed it to the perspective of the man being chased to take a more emotive point of view. The original plot was changed to the story of Eddie Walenski in the film, played by Colin Friels. Proyas was also inspired by science fiction stories of simulated reality that he read during his childhood. The director considered the result to be a Raymond Chandler story with a science fiction twist.[5]
The initial ending for Dark City was originally bleak, with the Strangers claiming victory. Proyas, not liking the ending, decided to alter it to focus on the “individual’s triumph” in an environment where individuality was being suppressed ”
A true classic…just like The Matrix. Two of my favorite ever.
Shut it down. Shut it down… FOREVER!
Awesome flick
.
thanks for the RS links, great post
Amazing movie. what else can be said ?
this and Blade Runner are my ALL TIME favorites.
file name would be helpfull
i have seen this movie, and if u haven’t…Do! it’s really a great piece of work.
Definitely inspired the brothers to write The Matrix. If you cannot see that, you are blind.
Dark City is a great SciFi flic.
dumb question , what does INTERNAL mean
@38:
Mean its not a scene release. Groups does this if theres already an accepted scene release, but they want to release their own, for some reason (better quality or whatever.)
So Over has a boyfriend now..
yeah i think its Tito.
LOL
everybody should love somebody

Blame it on the United States English Dictionary 3.0.1 spell checker Firefox add-on. Apperantly thats the first time I have typed overhyped in firefox. It’s more likely that I just had not added the preferential spelling into it’s DB.
Good movie. Would like an HD 720p of it to come out some day.
There are many other reasons why Martix (1999) is so similar to Dark City (1998) (besides the plot):
Both films were filmed in Fox Studios in Sidney.
Sets from Dark City, including rooftops, buildings and others exteriors, were reused when filming The Matrix.
Visual effects for both films were made by the same company (DFILM Services).
Awesome, awesome film! Just saw it today. Coincidentally, I downloaded it just before RLSLOG would have introduced it to me.
Soilent Green , 2001: A Space Odyssey , Blade Runner (1982) those were grear sci-fi movies….oh and Metropolis (1927) cause of the design and the artistic feeling of that film..to bad Fritz Lang is dead,i would definitely kiss him!!!
so…Dark city..ok movie (its my opinion)…the end of that movie is bad…
I love you all guys…
Go watch South Park…
die hippies…!!!!!!!!!!!!
..and girls
especially girls…
Great Film!
One of my favorites!
Don’t miss it!

Hehe, I own this on DVD. Love this movie!
@13 No, you´re wrong, the Matrix came out in 1999, this came out in 1998. Also, “The Matrix” was already well into pre-production/shooting by the time this was released, so I wouldn´t call it an “inspiration for the Matrix”. The end of the century saw a lot of these “alternative reality” movies. If you liked this one, you may wanna check out:
- ExistenZ (Cronenberg)
- The 13th Floor (don´t really like it as much as the others, but its OK)
- Fight Club (my favourite movie of all time)
ENJOY!
seen this movie before it’s not bad
I cant find it in torrents. It would be nice if there is a megashares link
Cheers for the movie, I hadn’t noticed it until now.

Does your “special friend” like this movie?
such a underrated movie.
i think it’s one of my all time fav sci-fi.
It was rumored a few months back that one of my favorite films of all time, DARK CITY, would be getting re-released with brand new special FX work added. No other details were revealed and it has been silent since then – until now. The other day I chatted with writer David Goyer, who is off in Chicago directing THE UNBORN for Rogue Pictures, who revealed a few more details on the project that any hardcore fan will appreciate. Read on for the skinny.
While on the set of his upcoming film UNBORN, writer-director David Goyer updated us on the re-release of DARK CITY, which he wrote for Alex Proyas to direct. “It’s coming out fairly soon [and will] probably have limited theatrical, but Im not sure,” he explains, “I have seen almost all of it and I took part in an over hour long making-of.”
In addition to the special features, Goyer reveals that there’s more to the re-release than just special FX upgrades. “[They re-did] the score and the cuts a little longer,” he reveals, “all of the parties involved did fairly lenghtly interviews with us, they’ll be incluced on there.”
He’s also quite sure that there will be a Blu-ray release. Join me in a lengthy scream of happiness. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Released in 1998, Alex Proyas, (The Crow) directs this futuristic thriller about a man waking up to find he is wanted for brutal murders he doesn’t remember. Haunted by mysterious beings who stop time and alter reality, he seeks to unravel the riddle of his identity. William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland and Jennifer Connelley all star, even Melissa George makes a cameo!
Anyone ever seen the short animated film Balance? I saw it years ago and Dark City has always reminded me of it. Watch it here and let me know what you think;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJWT3p7uM6Y
The scene of the house fire at Shell Beach, that is my Fire Dept running that fire for the movie cameras
It was mostly filmed in Sydney Australia.
No one here actually added “12 Monkeys” in the “best sci-fi” category… A masterpiece in every aspect
One of the most underrated sci-fi movies ever.
great film, everyone should watch it, Kiefer Sutherland’s character is great
really good show ..
btw when is the dark knight gonna be released here?
Anon you stupid fcuk “The Dark Knight” isn’t even out in theatres.
one of my fav movies,proyas is a sensat,onal actor,Kiefer acts amazing.
Kiefer’s fake accent puts me off, but that little dude really creeps me out!! I guess that means Kids are reeeeaaaallllyyyy scary when they want to be.

I don’t understand why everyone is so obsessed with Rapidshare. I don’t know anyone who would actually pay for it. and if you don’t pay, then you’re stuck with limited downloads..unless you use a proxy. Filefactory is the way to go people!!! lol

The 720p release is

But there’s only 6 seeds on my private tracker so it won’t be surfacing on public trackers for a long time, if at all.
I’d download and seed it publicly but I’ve tried that before with BSG and Firefly and nobody seeded so the torrents died.
Turns out my (I think it’s mine) BSG torrent didn’t die. I might consider getting the 720p Dark City torrent if there’s enough demand.

For the fans of this movie…
At the moment I am workin on a hq 2 cd rip(about 1800 kb/s),I’ll put it on rs when it is ready with the english sub.
Great movie, horrible release. I know it’s INTERNAL, but this thing even uses xvid-QPEL which breaks compatibility with the vast majority of standalone players. And it still doesn’t achieve adequate video or sound quality.
I’m really looking forward to a high quality and compatible 2CD release since this movie deserves better.

@72 chaddles,
Glad you liked it. BTW, if you want to download it, or any other YouTube video, just go to;
http://keepvid.com/
Put in the URL for the YouTube page (or Daily Motion, Ifilm, etc), then click the link that comes up. Rename the file after downloading. It will be in FLV format. Play with VLC, dedicated FLV player, etc.
@99 rekrul
or use Firebug
N.B. Sorry for shameless plugging before.
Piratebay Kinesis torrent is stuck on 99.8 % – no seeders
Try telling your client not to download the sample/subs/nfo/sfv. It’s bad but lots of people don’t download them. You may well have all the files you need for the film.
Thank you for advice, the film still shows at 99.9% complete
I will probably just download a different copy or look for some private sites I can get last % from.
http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/John_D0e/dc.jpg
Problem solved, I downloaded from first torrent (kinesis) which had no seeders. It is a duplicate of second torrent (INTERNAL DVDRip XviD) so I changed file name and dowloaded last percent from second bunch of trackers. I will now seed my completed file to the ppl with the first torrent on 99.8% (not that anyone cares
)

Thanks strengthofmind, you inspired me to find a solution.
Please Seed! I’m stuck at 99.8% and really want to see this!
Thanks
@ Duck: how could you download just the last percent and use it together with the other’s torrent part?
by the way, excellent movie… 10/10
Doesn’t someone have the original rar archive that he can put up somewhere? now i don’t mean the new made archives that people have been puting up on rapidshare. i’d prefer the original archive made by the release group. i still don’t trust torrents not destroying avi files, like getting freeze frames and stuff. you never get that if you keep it rared.
i saw it the other day and GOD, it was amazing! maybe could be a little better, but it’s nice. 9/10
Would someone please put this mofo on Adrive, MU or Netload? I really want to see this. I hate that stupid fastload site with all my soul! I’ll go without the damned thing if I have to deal with that BS!
Thanks for the high quality rip, hostile17
I gave in and downloaded Hostile’s version from RS.
This one is 720×480, 29.97 FPS. It has 2 channel AC3 at 192kb/s. It is NOT 5.1 audio! Bitrate is 1225kb/s. Ripped with DivX 5.0 codec.
Overall, it is a nice rip with excellent video quality, so thanks to Hostile! All of the RS links are still working as of 7-27-08 if anyone cares.
ALL RS LINKS BAD
