Watching it again for the first time in years there might not be anything noticeable in the changes. This isn't like the Kingdom of Heaven or Blade Runner cuts where whole sequences were taken out of the film creating disharmony in the flow of the story. As far as I could notice most of the cuts to the film were more inserts and extensions than anything else. The narration at the begining of the film is the most famous cut while the only added scene I could tell was showing Murdoch and Bumstead taking Schreber to Shell Beach at the finale. Other scenes included an extensions like a bit of dialogue between the husband and wife who go from middle class to wealthy during the tuning, a scene with Emma finding a little girl in the murdered prostitutes apartment, and a longer ending as Bumstead floats into outer space after discovering the truth about Dark City. I also noticed in some scenes that Trevor Jones score seemed to be dialed down and for the scenes where she sings Jennifer Connely's actual voice is heard. As whole how do all of the cuts add up. I don't think they change my opinion of the film. Its neither better or worse in my opinion. The film is still a good one and thankfully the additions weren't as bad as to hurt the film like Appocalypse Now Redux and its great seeing them reinserted into the film.
So hows the dvd itself.Of course the film itself has recieved a newer transfer that is brighter and more colorful. You never really notice the added scenes like you do on some other films. I never really listen to commentaries but I heard that Roger Ebert recorded a new one for the dvd. I notice that theres three with Ebert and Proyas having their own tracks while Lem Dobbs and David Goyer share a track so for fans I'd assume they're newly recorded. Theres also a spattering of documentaries that taken together roll for over two hours. On the first it has the general making of where filmmakers and actors talk about the film itself. On the second its mainly film professors with Roger Ebert, Lem Dobbs, and Alex Proyas discussing meanings and ideas in the film.
In the end this is a great disc for fans of the film. It might not pick up newer fans but with both cuts collected on the disc as well as the added bonus content I'd definitely recommend this as an easy purchase to those thinking about it.
A little bit more. I recently picked up the Blu-Ray (one of the first movies I buy on DVD becomes one of the first movies I buy on Blu) which has the actual two cuts of the film as well as the other special features. It also has a feature I really liked in the fact track that provides a little window to explain the difference between the theatrical and directors cut as well as background information on inspirations. This was a neat feature especially for this fan of both cuts, and highlights a lot more scenes I missed on my first viewing. As its now 7.99 on Amazon fans of the film or just those who are generally interested have no reason not to pick the disc up.
Try to imagine an old Noir hard-boiled detective movie crossed with science fiction, with a plot vaguely similar to the Matrix, though pre-dating it by a year or so.
The whole movie is intensely atmospheric with some interesting twists and turns.
