Since I've been laid up in bed with a bad back, I've been watching some movies I've been meaning to watch but haven't gotten around to 
So tonight I watched the special edition for The Abyss and Dark City.
One thing's for sure, The Abyss special edition is waaayyyy better than the theatrical cut. The theatrical cut feels kind of aimless and pointless without the Cold War sub plot. If you haven't seen The Abyss, I promise you, the extra half hour of footage is worth sitting through.
As for Dark City, it was really *really* good.
If you like thinky science fiction or dark noir mysteries, you'll like Dark City a lot. It's a lot like the Matrix if the Matrix was more campy, thoughtful, and, I dunno, more reigned in? I love the Matrix and I loved Dark City. 
The late 90s were such a gold mine for sci-fi. Much like The Abyss, *I recommend the director's cut!!!* The director's cut doesn't feature much more runtime, but it does cut out a studio-mandated voice over (a la Blade Runner) that basically spoils the entire plot right in the opening. It's dumb.
