Dark City = Bright Spot

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 1999)

This is likely what the makers of BATMAN envisioned, but missed. Had BATMAN, from a style standpoint, been the 'one small step for film' then Dark City is the 'one giant leap for film kind'. It is superb at translating theme through the use of the moody visuals and music. A heady approach to the future of filmmaking.
Think L.A. Confidential goes to Gotham City, and you have all you need to know to sit back and let this visionary piece of work wash over you.
I'll be the first to admit all the nay-saying I did in the theatres playing the Dark City trailers, but I gladly eat my words and look forward to seeing another like this from Mr. Proyas.
