No wonder it sold out straight away. An edition that does justice to what should have been celebrated more when it was released. To me, the theatrical cut is a masterpiece as well, the director’s cut just an even more perfect movie. Looks and sounds great with as usual worthy extras, sounds expected but the newly made documentary is spot on for this edition. Finally, the new artwork is even better than the usual phenomenal artwork Arrow makes and the poster is made of good quality paper. Ultra recommended. 

Beautifully presented Limited Edition with both cuts of the film in excellent 4K quality. Finally seeing the Director's Cut after so long was a revelation, easily the definitive version of the film. The brand-new, hour-long documentary "Return to Dark City" is a perfect companion piece, as is the new commentary by director Alex Proyas. Another fine release from Arrow.

Unless the world ends in the meantime or I manage to find my own Shell Beach and disappear into the ether, this release is going to pretty easily make my Top 10 for this year. This is an unbelievably great film that has even more power and I daresay ingenuity for contemporary eyes than it did even back in the, well, Dark Ages when it was originally released. Technical merits are first rate and once again Arrow has aggregated both an impressive array of on disc supplements as well as fantastic writing and other non disc swag presented in some nicely designed packaging.

Excellent presentation from Arrow. Slip box with book, poster, memorabilia. I thought the plot and setting was really ambitious and challenging but it was pulled off brilliantly. It's quite dark lighting as per the title and would think 4k must be an upgrade for other formats as visually it's stunning.
