Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Dark City" (1998) is a definitely a movie that every sci-fi lover must see - at least once. The story is the star of this movie and add here a great movie making - "Dark City" blow my mind back in 1999 the first time i saw it. Now i revisited it just for the second time, and this time i watched it the director's cut.
This is a visionary movie to begin with. The story itself was mind blowing back in the day when it was created - there was no "Matrix" and other similar movies back then, so you have to give a big kudos to creators to making this bold idea into a story and executing it at its best. Set design is astonishing, special effects serves the story, not other way around and script is great - it is not the most involving movie i've ever seen and you have to love sci-fi in general to truly appreciate this movie, but writer did a superb job in showing this world piece by piece.
Overall, "Dark City" truly will stand out the test of time and will be considered as one of the best sci-fi movies around. It has great, brilliant idea and its execution is one of the kind. This is not a mainstream popcorn sci-fi - this one plays with ideas of such as "what makes us human after all?". It is a one helluva movie.
