best mystery/sci-fi story ever

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2005)

WARNING SPOILER!!!! i gave this movie a nine out of ten because the only flaw in it was the ending where he met Anna at the pier. their conversation wasn't that engaging and you'd think there'd be more. dark city is a movie that in my opinion, is second only to star trek the motion picture. it is an excellently written original movie and the actors were just perfect. the idea that they didn't use some top gun Hollywood actor really worked..someone uncool, vulnerable and weak, that really worked. the strangers too were excellently done and hey fit in. the whole story just reeks of excellent work and proyas is on his way to being in my top list of directors..he should even have been given batman begins to direct cause the dark city only just reminds me of gotham city. well i aw the matrix before i saw this and still this should have been the original matrix. it was just excellent. my best bit was when the detective was sucked out of the city and he saw the whole world and he stared in wonder.. great movie, really great. no sequel needed, unlike the matrix sequels that killed the series. excellent 20s era too!
