DC as Directors Cut

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2020)

Also Darc City of course - but when I rewatched this the other day, I did watch the Directors cut and I only can recommend this highly. This may still (even though it apparently has won a lot of wins and nominations) be underrated - which is quite the shame.
This is dark and innovative. It has great actors in it and it also really resonates on many levels. And while it is not comparable to the Matrix, I wouldn't blame people if they see some similarities at least. Just take the central character: would you be surprised if he was named Neo? He is sort of a chosen one. Having said that, this has a different story or a more contained scenario. Still quite complex and still very nicely structured (if you excuse the pun).
The movie or the making of it, had quite a few hurdles to overcome. But we finally get to see what the director intended us to see. Or at least a close version of it. If you like Science Fiction, there is almost no excuse for you not to watch it. Unless it is happy go lucky Sci-Fi you are into. Nothing wrong with that, but not what you get served here
