What the Matrix should have been

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2010)

This movie is far better than it's much more famous twin, the Matrix. Both movies involve the concept that what you see around you is all fake, created by aliens, and you are living in a prison. Dark City is a brilliant work of science fiction, mystery and horror, all in one. Where The Matrix is a glitsy expensive but plastic modern super car, with all show and no substance, Dark City is a classy timeless old gangster car with polished chrome and good leather seats, a feast for the eyes and a far stronger story to match.
Kiefer Sutherland excels in one of his best roles, as he wheels around as the crippled and very creepy one human who serves the alien experimenters. This movie brings to mind classic works of science fiction. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky...
