A dazzling Sci-fi fantasy beyond your imagination!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2008)

Set in a dark gloomy floating city somewhere in space, a race of malevolent alien beings called "The Strangers" have control of the city and the humans who inhabit it. These beings have unique powers that can alter time and reality with the help of Dr. Shaufer (Keifer Sutherland) helps conducts their experiments, John Murdoc (Rufus Sewell) is a man accused of murder who later discovers he has strange powers that can fight against the dastardly bald aliens and bring light back into the world.
Dazzling and dark Sci-fi horror fantasy thriller from Alex Proyas (Who brought you "The Crow") definitely makes all three genres including film noir work together. It's a cerebral, entertaining and smart movie with chock-loads of atmosphere, great performances especially by William Hurt and Jennifer Connelly including the sexy Melissa George as the hooker, and excellent special effects.
Roger Ebert has declared it his favorite movie of 1998, i also think it's the best movie of that year too.
