Reality may not be what it seems

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2020)

Dark City is a very underrated science fiction masterpiece that has a devoted cult fan base, but ultimately did not get the respect it deserves. A year later a blockbuster movie would be released and that film is The Matrix and that movie rips off Dark City left and right and is in my opinion half as good as this. Dark City is a cerebral and visual feast that is both visually and intellectually stimulating. This is a very noirish looking thriller that has lots of twists and turns that bends reality. Dark City is a grim existential thriller in a horrific science fiction world. It has a lot of style and substance and is a very well done and original sci fi flick. While Dark City might be beyond the comprehension of some viewers, it's worth watching and rewatching to pick up on details you may have missed the 1st time around. Great cinema in my opinion. Recommend watching for certain.
