Dark City: Director's Cut
While there are a few noticeable changes (No more opening narration! John Murdoch has a weird spiral fingerprint! The prostitute John "tested" himself with has a daughter!), most of the 11 minutes added to the director's cut of Dark City are trickier to summarize. A new line of dialogue here, a different shot there, there aren't any "new" scenes in the new version, but many old scenes are given more room to breathe. Even the pauses between lines of dialogue present in the original version feel longer. The persistent musical score of the theatrical cut has also been dialed down, even removed completely from some scenes.

Dark City's strengths lie in its visuals, plotting and pacing, not its dialogue or characterization, and by making the same story take longer, the director's cut puts those weaknesses more at the forefront. I guess I prefer the theatrical cut due to its relentless pacing, but I still found getting an expanded tour of Dark City via the longer version to be a worthwhile experience.
