how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 38 comments (32 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 14 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 14 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The first time I tried to watch it I gave up after 20 minutes.”

“They spoiled all the movie in the beginnig with a spoiler.”

“Movie develops the story slowly but thoroughly by feeding the viewer constantly new information about what's happening in the city.”

“The ending gives a nice closure to it all”

“Even the editing refuses to take breaks, with jump cuts and extreme close-ups roughly every second-and-a-half for the entire duration. That gives the whole picture a feel of frantic energy, which suits the amnesiac protagonist in his confused quest for answers, but can be exhausting for the viewer.”

“This movie starts pretty great, there is a sense of mystery and the gothic imagery and the way the film was shot really great.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“If you don't fall in love with it, you've probably never fallen in love with a movie, and never will.”
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post · 100
“A great visionary achievement, a film so original and exciting, it stirred my imagination like "Metropolis" and "2001: A Space Odyssey."”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“It is as cool and distant as the planet the Strangers come from. But, Lord, is Dark City a wonder to see. [2 March 1998]”
Richard Corliss, Time · 100
“Proyas floods the screen with cinematic and literary references ranging from Murnau and Lang to Kafka and Orwell, creating a unique yet utterly convincing world.”
Andrea C. Basora, Newsweek · 90
“Full of provocative concepts, but, like most films that attack such metaphysical concerns head-on, things have become a tad too jumbled by the end to be altogether satisfying. It's a problem built into the subject matter...This all said, Dark City is immensely entertaining, as well as visually dazzling.”
Andy Klein, New Times (L.A.) · 90

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“This is one I probably haven't seen since the Director's Cut Blu-ray release in 2008 and while I liked it then, I now absolutely love it today. The cast and plot were wonderful to go along with the impressive visual effects, admittedly shrouded in darkness. I always like seeing Rufus Sewell playing a good guy as he's usually pidgeonholed playing either an A-hole or outright villain. Alex Proyas's Dark City is just a great sci-fi thriller that I actually place just behind The Matrix. **4.5/5**”

“99/100 The inhabitants of a dark city are being used in an experiment by an alien race that rebuilds both the city and everyone's memories every night in an attempt to determine what makes us humans tick. Although very different films, you can't help notice the similarities with the manipulated environment of "The Matrix". The film noir quality, the surreal landscape, the strangers, the writing, the performances, the absolutely phenomenal spec fx, the astoundingly unique vision, everything in”
