Awesome, original, challenging sci-fi movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2006)

I absolutely adore this movie. Amazing visuals, great story, perfect casting and it challenges you to think about the story unfolding on the screen, rather than lay it out all for you. I have watched this now about 4-5 times and it still amazes me. Rufus Sewell as the main character (John Murdoch), Kiefer Sutherland (as Dr. Schrieber - very creepy), the always excellent William Hurt (Inspector Bumstead) and the exquisite Jennifer Connelly (Emma Murdoch) are all perfectly cast. I don't want to give away the story at all because I remember watching it the first time and how blown away I was by this sleeper of a movie.
If you like Dark City, I also recommend watching Gattaca, Donnie Darko, Equilibrium, Solaris, Cypher and Code 46
Dark City will acquire a cult status in the years to come, I believe. It already has its fans and it shows how far and few intelligent sci-fi movies are really made
