Pulp S.F. is always fun

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2005)

I found this a pleasant-enough though somewhat trivial film. I was shocked by how much love is thrown at it in IMDb comments but then I figured out that most of the rave reviews are from folks who are younger. That's great. Even greater is that there is a TON of fine S.F. that you will be enjoying as you proceed with reading (I hope) and movie watching.
FWIW, the mind-candy of "Dark City" is on a level of a good "Twilight Zone" episode. It's climax is a "borrow" from the 60's film "The Power". The imagery is little more than "old school" if you have watched more than a few Warner Bros. "B movies".
Mainly I will remember this film fondly for giving Richard O'Brien a well deserved turn in what is, at heart, one more "Late Night Science Fiction Picture Show".
