Great sets, visuals. Pacing is way too fast for this kind of atmosphere oriented movie, and the ending is ridiculous.
Overall 7/10

Assuming it had the budget and a director up for it, do you think would it have worked better as a miniseries?

Agreed, the city itself deserved so much more time. Some of the best set design ever.

straight up lack of SOVL, also the set design, costume design, and practical aspects of the film lack the talent to be done anymore.

The first act is 10/10, the movie just had so much potential I found myself getting more and more annoyed watching it go downhill from there. At least it´s memorable

too much originality and soul, would be seen as too risky to greenlight, also not enough adults go to see R rated movies anymore after covid and streaming.
also, the level of technical ability of movie making staff like set designers, prop designers, practical effects , etc has all gone way down because studios have relied more and more on CGI so making a movie look like Dark City (which is integral to the impact of the movie) would be much more expensive because fewer people with enough skill

Lanthimos' Poor Things had excellent set work specifically if it's not the same aesthetic or really type of movie.
>>212032202
Maybe but it's not the runtime that bothers me but scene-to-scene pacing. It looks like an atmospheric l, gothic (sci-fi element makes it somewhat similar to steampunk also) tale but the plot moves so fucking fast it's like I'm watching Speed. It doesn't have to be Blade Runner but it's action movie pacing isn't fitting either. Honestly it's faster than even a lot of action movies of the time. Some parts remind me of modern ADHD pacing in blockbusters.

no way.Dark city is an immersive experience. it's about the atmosphere. You can't get that from a tv series. it would make it too mundane.
You have to be sweapt up in it and have just enough time to think about things a bit but not too much.

if dark city were made today it would be turned into a class and race narrative. All of the bad guys would be donald trump clones or something.

i love dark city for this simple concept alone
which is, its never revealed where the humans were taken from
youd expect earth, but no, they were taken from somewhere else

its bc the jews thought the earth was flat long after the greeks and egyptians discovered it was round. convincing goyim that the earth is flat redeems them in their minds
