The Greatest Sci Fi Movie Of The Last 2 Decades

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2011)

This movie is like a dark super hero film. John Murdoch( played by Rufus Sewell) wakes up in a bath tub, in a city with no sun,and he has ammniesa. He discovers he is wanted for murders he did not commit. Frank Bumsteade( a detective played by William Hurt) persues John and ends up helping him. He also has a wife named Emma(Jennifer Connelly). She is desperately trying to find him, because their in some sort of affair. These mysterious cloaked beings called "The Srangers" are the main villains and are lead by Mister Book. They have telepathic abilities(called TUNING) and are beings from another planet. John Murdoch has also developed the ability to tune. Every 12 hours the strangers shut down the city and the buildings shift and grow. During this time, every one in Dark City falls asleep, except the strangers and John Murdoch. No one is ever aware of the changes made. Murdoch is freaked out by this. He meets his supposed family members, but no one seems to know anything. The romance between Sewell and Connelly is so realistic, you would swear they were lovers in real life. I wont spoil the ending, but for such a DARK movie it has a happy and BRIGHT ending.This film suppasses The Matrix, Inception, Avatar and Minority Report. The only sci fi movie better is Star Wars. This is the most under rated, un appreciated sci fi of all time, it has done a lot believe it or not. Some believe this movie inspired The Matrix, which was released one year later. The two movies have very similar characteristics, the characters, story, and cinematography. But Dark City surpasses all modern Sci Fi films. Not even Inception can stand up to it. The ending is incredible and the acting is superb. The sad part is no one knows about this unique film. If The Matrix gets 8.7, Than Dark City gets 10/10. Don't get me wrong I liked The Matrix, but Dark City is just better. This is a must see for Sci Fi fans and movie lovers alike. I think it would be cool if Alex Proyas rerealesed this movie in 3D. Buildings popping off the screen would be awesome. Shouldn't be missed, see it man, its awesome! Dark City 10/10 Best Sci Fi of the last 2 decades.
