Father Of The Matrix..

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2008)

Recently watched Dark City, had heard a lot about the movie from my friends but after watching it i feel it just lives up to all expectations. Its a movie which I would say gave birth to Matrix and its a shame its so underrated as a sci-fi movie. The visual scenery and mesmerizing magnanimous set-work just heightens the film's appeal and the plot I would say is very original for a movie of '98. Rufus Sewell is so good to watch, I wonder he has just been reduced to side-kick these days, I mean I liked him Illusionist but was wasted in Holiday..Its a shame for he is talented and presents a good picture with a mighty voice. Those were early days of Jennifer Connelly but she could have looked as good she acted in the movie. The graphics deserve a special mention and that spirit of human survival and emerging victorious is highly appealing. I don't know if Wachowskis took the idea of "the one" from this movie but i would now call Dark City the predecessor of The Matrix..
